Chery Exeed Unveils Flagship EV With Nvidia Hardware

Chery's premium Exeed brand unveiled the 2027 Exlantix ES on May 21, 2024, a new electric vehicle that integrates advanced technology typically found in flagship models, but with a starting price competitive with entry-level Tesla vehicles. The Exlantix ES is equipped with the Falcon 700 driving system, which is built upon Nvidia hardware, indicating a significant investment in autonomous and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

The vehicle will be available in both Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) configurations, offering consumers flexibility in their powertrain choices. Pricing for the Exlantix ES is set to start around $26,500, a figure that positions it aggressively in the growing EV market, especially when compared to the base models of established competitors like Tesla. This pricing strategy suggests Chery's intent to capture a larger market share by offering premium features at a more accessible cost.

While the Exlantix ES boasts impressive specifications and competitive pricing, a significant limitation for consumers outside of China is its current unavailability in international markets. Chery has not announced any plans for a global rollout, meaning this technologically advanced EV will likely remain exclusive to the Chinese domestic market for the foreseeable future. The launch highlights the rapid advancements in EV technology coming from Chinese automakers, particularly in integrating sophisticated hardware and software solutions.
