The automotive industry is abuzz with excitement as Chery, a leading Chinese automaker, has announced the global debut of its latest creation - the Exeed Exlantix E05. This mid-size extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) SUV promises to redefine the boundaries of electric mobility with its advanced powertrain, cutting-edge autonomous driving technology, and modern design.
Powertrain and Performance
The Exeed Exlantix E05 is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine that serves as a range extender, paired with a 32.7 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. This combination provides an approximate pure electric range of 165 km. The vehicle boasts dimensions of 4,780 mm (length) × 1,890 mm (width) × 1,725 mm (height) with a 2,800 mm wheelbase and a top speed of around 200 km/h. The fuel efficiency is about 5.8 L/100 km under WLTC standards[1][5].
Exterior Design
The E05 showcases a new, rounder and fuller shape compared to previous Exeed Exlantix models. It features sharp LED headlamps with a distinctive triple-stripe daytime running light motif and a horizontal light signature across the front. The rear has a full-width LED taillight assembly with segmented lighting effects, a roof spoiler, and a shark-fin antenna. Prominent English "EXEED" branding is displayed both on the front and rear, emphasizing a premium and modern look[3].
Driving Assistance System
The E05 is the first production car to incorporate the Horizon Robotics Horizon Super Driving (HSD) system, powered by the domestically developed Journey 6P chip. This system provides Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities, supported by up to 12 radars, multiple cameras, and optional lidar for enhanced urban-level autonomous features. The Journey 6P chip boasts a computing power of 560 TOPS, enabling substantial processing capabilities for sensors including 18-megapixel camera input and high image-processing bandwidth (5.3 Gpixel/s)[1][3][5].
