Exeed Exlantix ET reaches production in China

Chery has announced the start of production of its all-electric crossover SUV known as the Sterra ET on its domestic market and the Exeed Exlantix ET outside of it. AutoHome says that sales should begin later this quarter.

The five-seater SUV runs on the E0X platform, same as the Exlantix ES sedan. It is sized 4,955 x 1,975 x 1,698 mm (193.6 x 77.2 x 66.4 inches) large with 3 meters (117.2 inches) between the axles.

Customers in China will be choosing from four powertrain options. The two base versions will utilize a single motor at the rear axle with 252 PS (249 hp / 185 kW). The standard-range version will offer 550 km (342 miles) of range and the long-range one will offer 650 km (404 miles).

The middle-ground spec will boost the RWD output to 313 PS (309 hp / 230 kW) and will be able to cover up to 760 km (472 miles) on a charge according to the latest Chinese standard. The flagship spec will utilize the same battery pack as the one mentioned above, but its 561-PS (553-hp / 413-kW) dual-motor powertrain will drop the range expectation to 655 km (407 miles).

All prices should be announced in March this year.
