Elegant Practicality
The A8’s exterior masterfully balances aerodynamic efficiency with aesthetic appeal. Its signature hexagonal grille – finished in dark mesh – flows seamlessly into slim LED headlights bisected by a metallic accent bar7. Unlike many EVs adopting hidden door handles, Chery retains traditional exposed handles for reliability in freezing conditions. The 2,790 mm wheelbase (exceptionally long for a compact sedan) enables a sweeping roofline that culminates in a subtle ducktail spoiler, creating a profile that rivals premium European designs.
At its core lies the award-winning Kunpeng C-DM system, featuring:
1.5TGDI Miller-cycle engine: 44.5% thermal efficiency – among the world’s highest for production engines
Dual-motor architecture: 150 kW / 310 N·m front motor enables 98.5% mechanical efficiency in EV mode
18.3 kWh LFP battery: Supports 19-minute fast charging (30-80%) and 3.3 kW V2L discharge
Performance Highlights
Real-world range: 1,624 km (verified in 20-hour wuhu-Shenzhen challenge)
EV range: 127 km (CLTC) – sufficient for weekly urban commutes
Fuel economy: As low as 3.48 L/100km in hybrid mode
Acceleration: 3.4 seconds 0-50 km/h; 7-second 0-100 km/h
Digital Sanctuary
The cabin’s focal point is a 24.6-inch curved dual-screen display powered by the Qualcomm 8155 chip – enabling near-instant boot-ups and silky-smooth interactions3. The Lion 5.0 OS supports multi-command voice control and over-the-air updates. Passenger comfort is exceptional: rear occupants enjoy 907 mm of legroom – rivaling luxury sedans – while 9-layer “cloud” seats with ventilation/heating ensure fatigue-free journeys .
The A8’s “Guardian” safety suite includes:
Ultra-high-strength steel body (80% high-strength materials; 20.6% hot-stamped steel)
10 airbags including 1,983.7 mm side curtains with 6-second pressure retention
IP68-rated battery pack with 300 mm wading depth and 2ms high-voltage cutoff during collisions
The Verdict
The Fengyun A8 proves hybrids need not compromise. It delivers EV-like refinement, hypercar-worthy acceleration, and unprecedented efficiency – all wrapped in a safety-focused, tech-rich package. For global consumers seeking one car that truly does it all, Chery’s masterpiece sets a formidable new standard.
