On July 9, Chery held the Fengyun A9 Tech-Aesthetics Show & Pre-Sale Launch in Beijing. Breaking from convention, the event took the form of a cross-border fashion show, translating the Fengyun A9’s design aesthetics, tech features, and mobility scenarios into a tangible fashion language for the audience. The event gathered guests from the fashion and automotive industries, with Magnolia Award-winning Best Actress and Chery Global Brand Ambassador Yang Zi making a stunning finale appearance, witnessing the Fengyun A9’s solid quality and Chery’s further advancement in aesthetic philosophy.
Positioned as a “long-range, intelligent, all-electric coupe," the Fengyun A9 is offered in three variants at pre-sale prices ranging from 115,900 to 135,900 RMB. Customers who place a 1,999 RMB deposit now can enjoy seven major pre-sale benefits.
Breaking Tradition with a Tech-Aesthetics Fashion Show
The Fengyun A9 Tech-Aesthetics Show broke the conventional auto launch format by presenting itself as a high-fashion runway event. Chinese fashion designer Demon Zhang drew inspiration from the Fengyun A9 to create six haute couture pieces – Extraordinary Magenta, 3D Misty Rain, Serene Rose, Guardian Cloud, Shu Brocade Flow, and 3nm Chip Motion – each corresponding to one of the Fengyun A9’s core product strengths, elevating the narrative from “parameter lists" to “aesthetic perception." Chery’s Global Chief Interior Designer, Jan Philip Kaul, used the six outfits to share the visual beauty, tactile beauty, quality beauty, and tech beauty of the Fengyun A9, fully revealing the industrial aesthetics hidden within the vehicle.
The fashion lineup was equally star-studded. International supermodel Lu Xianren, avant-garde model Chao Ren Leng, and four other top models delivered stunning performances, showcasing the visual impact of the collision between fashion aesthetics and automotive industrial aesthetics. Chery Global Brand Ambassador Yang Zi made a grand finale entrance in a bespoke gown that echoed the Fengyun A9’s signature exterior color.
Building Cars for the Young – Launching Five Standards for the EV 2.0 Era
For young people, a car is an extension of self-expression. To create a car that truly belongs to the young, Chery has shifted from building cars in isolation to understanding users’ hearts; from “technical aesthetics" to “lifestyle aesthetics"; from engineer-driven decisions to becoming a listener and companion. The Fengyun A9 was co-created with over 10,000 young people across more than 300 co-creation sessions – every Fengyun A9 carries the voices of the youth.
Behind the Fengyun A9 lies Chery’s 29 years of automotive expertise. At the event, Chery officially released five standards for the electric vehicle 2.0 era:
-
AI Intelligence Standard – better understanding of you;
-
Precision Quality Standard – trustworthy craftsmanship;
-
Comprehensive Safety Standard – confidence-inspiring protection;
-
Oriental Smart Beauty Design Standard – tasteful aesthetics;
-
Global Synergy Standard – global R&D, global standards, global validation, global quality.
AI Intelligence: Smarter Cabin, Confident Driver Assistance
For young users, intelligence is no longer a bonus but a core factor that defines the user experience. To deliver a “better" AI intelligence experience, the Fengyun A9 features the class-leading AI Lingxi Smart Cabin 2.0 and the segment-exclusive Falcon Driver Assistance System.
The AI Lingxi Smart Cabin 2.0 is equipped with the industry’s first 3nm high-performance cockpit chip, ensuring smooth operation without black screens or lag – every command responds seamlessly. With 16GB RAM + 256GB storage and millisecond-level ultra-low latency, the system can even run AAA games smoothly. It also integrates the Carmind Pro * Doubao AI voice assistant, allowing the “Xiaoqi" intelligent avatar to engage users in multi-role conversations. The 23-speaker AI Boya Sound System, tuned by top acoustics experts, combined with a deep-sea-quiet cabin featuring a patented “sandwich" acoustic design, provides a private sanctuary away from the outside world. The AI-powered karaoke feature instantly turns the cabin into a “mobile KTV," adding more fun to every trip.
The Falcon Driver Assistance System offers class-leading hardware: 1 LiDAR, 3 millimeter-wave radars, 11 cameras, 12 next-gen ultrasonic radars, and 1 high-performance autonomous driving chip. This enables full coverage from long-range to 360° surround and all-weather perception, laying the hardware foundation for safer and smarter driving. It also adopts an industry-leading end-to-end algorithm that makes decisions like an experienced driver in complex traffic scenarios. The combination of premium hardware and powerful algorithms enables seamless integrated driving and parking – from highways to city streets, from common conditions to extreme scenarios, all handled with ease.
Comprehensive Safety: From Battery to Body – No Compromise
Safety is the ultimate luxury and a non-negotiable baseline! The Fengyun A9 ensures systematic safety at every level – from cell materials and body structure to manufacturing processes and cloud-based monitoring – each layer is scrutinizable and verifiable.
For battery safety – a top concern for NEV buyers – the Fengyun A9 features the Rhino Battery 360 Protection System:
-
Rhino Crystal – every cell withstands extreme tests: 10-needle penetration (10x the national standard), IP68 waterproofing (96x the national standard);
-
Rhino Shield – an impenetrable armor for the battery pack, with 31 protective layers and a three-longitudinal-one-transverse structural design, with side crush resistance at 200kN (2x the national standard);
-
Rhino Cloud – always-on active protection with 24/7 cloud monitoring of 300+ battery signals, shifting safety from “post-incident response" to “pre-incident prediction."
For passive safety, the solid-rock body structure uses over 80% high-strength steel and 20% hot-formed steel, with torsional rigidity reaching 38,000 N·m/deg. Structural optimizations include a 1.1m front crash beam, 1.5GPa front/rear door anti-intrusion beams, and a 1.8mm-thick integrated hot-formed door ring, all designed to absorb and disperse collision energy, maximizing cabin integrity in critical moments. Combined with the segment’s only 8 airbags covering 10 zones – including a 1,987mm extra-long side curtain airbag – the system offers full coverage from front to side and front to rear, delivering rock-solid safety on every journey.
Precision Quality: Range Without Anxiety, Driving With Fun
For travel freedom, range anxiety must be eliminated. The Fengyun A9 comes standard with a 70kWh large-capacity battery, delivering a CLTC range of 655km – enough for cross-city round trips without recharging. Even at -30°C, the battery retains 90% capacity. It also features a 12-in-1 ultra-integrated high-efficiency e-drive with peak efficiency of 95%, a lightweight 75kg unit, and a peak speed of 22,000 rpm – delivering brisk starts and powerful overtaking. Additionally, the AGS active grille shutter and dual-source wide-temperature heat pump + PTC system effectively optimize power consumption and extend range.
In the era of self-indulgence, young people seek driving pleasure. The Fengyun A9 is equipped with a DP-EPS dual-pinion electric power steering system with 20%+ faster response and higher precision, paired with a low center of gravity for more agile and accurate handling. The 70mm-diameter large control arm bushings with a damping angle increased to 9–11° gently absorb bumps on speed bumps and gravel roads, delivering a more comfortable ride. Stopping power is equally assured: the Bosch IPB 2.0 integrated braking system provides millisecond-level response, with a 100-0 km/h braking distance of 37.6m, ensuring confident control. The class-leading CST comfort braking delivers linear brake feel, making stops smooth and stable.
Showcasing Oriental Smart Beauty – A Color That Lasts
Embracing “Oriental Smart Beauty," the Fengyun A9 is built on the Lingfeng aesthetic, boasting a “golden proportion" bone structure with an axle-to-wheel ratio of 4.39, width-to-height ratio of 1.28, and wheel-to-height ratio of 0.45 – exuding elegance and grace, with a class-leading drag coefficient of just 0.223Cd.
The Fengyun A9 is also the “most beautiful coupe with a lifted tail." The high-floating hollow rear spoiler echoes the sporty stance, increasing downforce at high speeds for stability. The Wind Blade diamond-cut headlights resemble slightly raised phoenix-eye tails, capturing an Eastern charm in a single stroke. The Xuan Ying three-dimensional emblem, sport front lip, and low-drag wheels further amplify the athletic vibe.
For exterior colors, the Fengyun A9 offers seven shades: Begonia Red, Cloud Pink Rice, Snow Ridge White, Mountain Mist Purple, Basalt Gray, Singing Sand Green, and Ink Rock Black. The 8-layer iridescent composite paint uses ultra-fine imported silver-dollar high-mirror reflective aluminum flakes, maintaining 85% gloss retention after 10 years.
Light Luxury Chinese-Style Interior – Spacious Beyond Class
The Fengyun A9’s interior evokes a “Sails and Clouds" landscape poetic mood, available in two colorways: Night Purple-Black and Mist Purple-Gray. Soft-touch coverage spans 8.68㎡, with Shu brocade-inspired pearl pigments infused into eco-friendly leather, delivering a skin-friendly, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing “Chinese luxury" light atmosphere. The 3D mesh breathable covering ensures excellent ventilation, keeping occupants cool and dry in summer.
With optimized design, the Fengyun A9 achieves a 90% “room efficiency," upgrading B-segment dimensions to C-segment enjoyment. Rear seat width reaches 1,936mm, and rear legroom is 976mm – no crowding even with full occupancy. Folding the front seats flat and connecting them with the rear seats creates a 1.6m “bed." For storage, the cabin offers 32 thoughtfully designed compartments – phones, chargers, and cups all find their place. The floating bridge storage area can hold a handbag, while threaded expansion ports and hooks allow DIY decorations or phone holders as needed. The trunk volume is 450L, plus an 88L underfloor hidden compartment, keeping large luggage and private items neatly separated.
