Chery expands global EV, hybrid footprint and brand reach
Overview
Chery continues to expand its global electrified vehicle portfolio through targeted regional launches and strategic brand repositioning. Under its ‘Globalization 3.0’ plan, the company is evolving its brand architecture, including the repositioning of Jetour as a premium off-road specialist. This shift, led by Executive Vice President Li Xueyong, distinguishes Jetour from the luxury-focused Exeed brand. A key model for this direction is the Jetour G700, a large ladder-frame plug-in hybrid SUV already being marketed in regions like Chile.
In Europe, Chery unveiled a “For EU. For Family” strategy at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, aiming to enter all 27 EU markets by 2027. The plan includes launching the Tiggo 8 and Tiggo 9 plug-in hybrids in Italy by November 2026, followed by the compact electric Chery Q in 2027. Other regional expansions include the Tiggo 8 PHEV in Switzerland, the S08 i-DM in the Philippines and Brazil, and potential Tiggo X7 launches in the UK.
In China, the company recently debuted the all-new Tiggo 7 and Tiggo X7 at the Chery Brand Night in Wuhu. The Tiggo 7 is a family-oriented SUV, while the Tiggo X7 introduces a rugged, boxy design with a 700 mm water wading capacity. To demonstrate safety, Chery conducted a live public crash test of the Tiggo 7, showing the passenger compartment remained intact during a 50 km/h impact with a truck.
Technologically, Chery is pursuing its ‘Yaoguang 2035’ vision to become an AI-driven company, focusing on the ‘CheryMind’ large model, L4-level autonomous driving, and eVTOL aircraft.
