Chery Automobile is stepping up to compete with luxury brands through the launch of its Exeed brand luxury SUV EX9 at an extravagant product exposé in Beijing, China. After a decade or more building its automotive credentials and producing some of the world’s most successful vehicles, Chery is now ready to enter into a historically challenging market dominated by only a small number of the five major luxury automotive brands.
The Exeed EX9 SUV ranks at number one within the expanding range of cars offered by the Exeed company. Exceed has released the Exeed EX9 as an entirely new full-size SUV concept that reflects the future direction of the area; larger, more advanced vehicles.
While Chery has not yet provided specific information regarding the production parameters and/or release date for its upcoming Exeed EX9 SUV, executives from the company have stated that the model will be an integral piece of the puzzle in their overall strategy to become the leading player in the premium vehicle segment of the global automotive market.
Three Designs Shape the Range of Exeed Models
During the Beijing auto show, three products were introduced. These included the concept car EX Vision, the model EX7 for production, as well as the Exeed EX9 SUV model.
The concept vehicle may also provide the base for this company’s future product designs, as these engineers designed the concept car with the idea that drivers would have a sleek exterior and an exciting, high-tech interior at the same time through the use of simple design principles and advanced UI principles.
EX7 is already available for sale in dealerships in its completed form. It utilizes extended-range hybrid engine and offers around 1,520 km of total travel distance. Another interesting thing about EX7 is that it features electronic mechanical braking and chassis management system, which could probably be used in the future on the upcoming Exeed EX9 SUV.
Battery Technology Advances Drive Future Plans
Chery is committing its resources to develop batteries, which will be a central part of its efforts to enhance its premium image. As such, it has made major strides toward developing batteries with improved energy density, and its engineering team is currently working to produce batteries with energy densities of approximately (400 Wh) over (kg). The achievement of this level of performance would put Chery in a competitive position with other manufacturers around the world for developing high-performance battery technology.
Chery will use this technology on vehicles associated directly with the Exeed brand range. Higher energy density means that there will be higher driving distances and faster charging times; it also means that the vehicles will weigh less this is essential when competing in the premium SUV market.

Entering an Already Competitive Market of Premium Vehicles
The Exeed EX9 is set to compete in a market where there are already well-known Chinese brands that produce premium electric and hybrid SUVs. Such brands include Nio, Li Auto, and Denza, all of which have established themselves as premium vehicle brands both at home and abroad.
According to industry analysts, the strength behind the strategy of Exeed is its ability to integrate luxurious characteristics into hybrid models. In countries with underdeveloped infrastructures for electric cars, the company can benefit from the fact that people prefer extended range hybrid vehicles. For example, Exeed had success with this model type when producing EX7.
Sales Momentum and Market Potential
Sales momentum has been inconsistent for Exeed over the year. Since late 2024, demand for the vehicle has increased rapidly before becoming flat in Q1 2026. By introducing the Exeed EX9 SUV, we have an opportunity to re-establish the market presence of our brand and gain entry into the upper-priced segment.
Market statistics consistently indicate that large SUVs are becoming increasingly popular in China and across a variety of major export markets.The increased demand for larger interiors, high-end connectivity options, and electric drivetrains have contributed to full-size SUV being one of the fastest growing vehicle categories around the world.
The Long-Term Vision of Exeed Is Becoming a Reality As Demonstrated At The 2023 Auto Show In Beijing
With the announcement of the EX9 offering by Exeed at this year’s Beijing auto show, this experience has confirmed to Exeed’s new approach of targeting upscale or aspirational consumers rather than mass-market consumption by introducing their new EX9 model. From this launch, Exeed has established a new vision to position themselves against other major automotive brands based on the quality and uniqueness of their designs as well as on the technology utilized within their vehicles; thus they have developed and created a differentiated market position through the establishment of brand trust and credibility rather than just a low price.
As part of its vision for the future of the automotive industry, Chery is continuously investing in design-led innovation, electrification, and next-generation battery technologies. As the Exeed EX9 SUV moves through its development process, it will be the most definitive statement that Chery plans to enter into competition with current leaders in the fast-paced dynamic of China’s premium automotive industry.
