Chery’s forthcoming Fulwin T9L has resurfaced in new documentation released by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, offering the most comprehensive look yet at the plug-in hybrid SUV’s specifications. Although the model made its first public appearance at the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show, these official filings now confirm many of its technical details and design elements ahead of its market debut. Chery plans to introduce the Fulwin T9L to Chinese buyers in the first quarter of 2026, positioning it firmly within the rapidly growing mid-size plug-in hybrid SUV class.
According to the homologation details, the Fulwin T9L will be available in both front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions. The two variants differ slightly in exterior treatment: the front-wheel-drive model features a sleek closed-off front fascia to emphasize efficiency, while the four-wheel-drive edition adopts a traditional open grille design, lending it a more rugged appearance. Certain trims will also come equipped with a roof-mounted lidar sensor, hinting at advanced driver assistance features. Regardless of drivetrain, all models use eye-catching L-shaped daytime running lights. Other notable exterior features include a full-width rear light bar, roof rails, a sporty roof spoiler, partially recessed door handles, and a choice of 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels.
In terms of size, the T9L slots comfortably into the mid-size SUV segment with a length of 4870 mm, a width of 1930 mm, and a height of 1710 mm. The long 2920 mm wheelbase contributes to generous cabin proportions. Despite its size, the SUV will launch exclusively as a five-seater, with no six- or seven-seat versions planned at the moment. Much of the styling remains faithful to the earlier concept model, maintaining a sculpted side profile and upright stance characteristic of this category.
Inside, the Fulwin T9L adopts a modern, tech-focused layout. It features a floating central infotainment display paired with a fully digital instrument panel. At the heart of the cabin’s tech suite is a 3-nanometer cockpit chip running the updated Fulwin UI 2.0 system. Convenience-oriented features include wireless phone charging, open-style cup holders, and power-adjustable rear seats. The front seats are particularly well-equipped, offering a wide range of electric adjustments along with heating, ventilation, massage, memory functions, and extendable leg rests. Both the first and second rows can be folded to create a dual-bed setup, enhancing comfort for road trips or resting during long drives.
Additional highlights in the cabin include an immersive 23-speaker premium audio system delivering 1080 watts of output, customizable ambient lighting, and a temperature-controlled storage compartment capable of maintaining conditions between –6°C and 50°C. For advanced safety and autonomous-driving support, the model uses Chery’s Falcon 700+ system, supported by a Horizon Journey 6P chip delivering 560 TOPS of computing power, along with an array of 27 sensors for enhanced situational awareness.
Power comes from the Kunpeng Super Hybrid C-DM system mated to a DHT260 transmission. Its 1.5-liter turbocharged engine produces 115 kW, contributing to a total system output of 260 kW and peak torque of 330 Nm. The front-wheel-drive version reaches a top speed of 180 km/h, while the four-wheel-drive model achieves higher velocities and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around five seconds. Battery choices for the FWD variant include packs of 19.527 kWh and 32.659 kWh, enabling CLTC-rated electric ranges of 101 km and 170 km. Fuel consumption is listed as low as 3.9 L/100 km in depleted mode.
Once launched, the Fulwin T9L will enter a busy and highly competitive field dominated by models such as the BYD Sealion 06 DM-i, Changan Nevo Q07, and BYD Song L DM-i, with sales set to begin in 2026.
