During the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show, Chery expanded its Fulwin sub-brand by introducing two significant new vehicles: the T9L, a large five-seat SUV, and the A9, a fully electric fastback. According to reporting from D-Auto, the T9L is scheduled to reach the Chinese market in the first quarter of 2026 and represents Fulwin’s take on a premium, modern SUV styled with what the company describes as an “Eastern calligraphy” design philosophy. In terms of size, the T9L stretches about 4,870 millimeters long and 1,930 millimeters wide, riding on a 2,920-millimeter wheelbase, placing it firmly in the mid-to-large SUV class. Chery confirms that it will rely on the brand’s Kunpeng C-DM plug-in hybrid system, a platform that promises improved efficiency and low-emission capability. Additionally, the model is set to incorporate sophisticated driver-assistance technologies supported by Horizon Robotics’ Journey 6P computing platform, which Chery claims enables the vehicle to anticipate road conditions and respond using predictive and defensive driving logic.
Alongside the SUV, Chery also showcased the A9, the first fully electric model to be released under the Fulwin name. The A9 displayed at the show closely resembles the Fulwin E05 concept car that made its debut a year earlier at the 2024 Chengdu Auto Show. At the time, the E05 was presented as a close-to-production concept, positioned around $21,100 and intended to preview a mass-market electric model. The concept offered buyers both an extended-range configuration and a pure battery-electric version, with both variants sharing a 2,900-millimeter wheelbase. It introduced a sleek fastback outline, hidden door handles, a sealed front fascia, a roof-mounted lidar unit, and a dual-tier LED taillight assembly that showcased the “FULWIN” branding.
Inside, the E05 concept emphasized a tech-forward and comfort-oriented experience. It featured what Chery called an AI-enhanced “emotional cockpit,” designed to adapt to multiple user scenarios ranging from daily driving to entertainment or relaxation. Additional conveniences included an onboard refrigerator, customizable ambient lighting, a digital scent-dispersion system, and front seats capable of reclining nearly flat at 180 degrees. The concept also previewed an advanced driver-assistance suite, offering highway NOA capability, automated parking, memory-based parking routines, and follow-back reversing functions.
The A9 introduced in Guangzhou carries forward many of these stylistic elements. It maintains the fastback roofline, large aerodynamic wheels, and partially concealed door handles. The smooth roof design incorporates a sensor module similar to the one used on the earlier concept. While the E05 supported a broader range of powertrain options, the A9 displayed at the auto show is positioned strictly as a battery-electric model. Nonetheless, Chinese regulatory documents and industry leaks suggest that the broader A9/E05 family may eventually include plug-in hybrid or range-extended derivatives. This would also help clarify Chery’s previously mentioned figure of a 2,500-kilometer combined driving range, a target that clearly applies to mixed-powertrain test scenarios rather than the BEV version alone.
From a mechanical standpoint, the A9 is believed to use a CDC adaptive damping system paired with a front double-wishbone suspension and a rear five-link arrangement, highlighting Chery’s focus on ride quality and handling refinement. Pricing for the new A9 has not yet been announced, though earlier references to the T9 series suggest that a starting price near $22,500 is possible. With the debut of the T9L and A9, Chery significantly expands the Fulwin lineup and demonstrates its strategy of offering multiple propulsion systems—hybrid, extended-range, and fully electric—within one sub-brand.
