Without gasoline, a sedan can travel 100 km
Today the premiere of the mid-size Chery Fulwin A8 Yuanhang Edition sedan took place in China. In fact, this is the same Chery Arrizo 8 that is sold in Russia, but only with a hybrid power plant and a number of changes in terms of appearance (for example, the Chery Fulwin A8 has a semi-closed front part with a frameless radiator grille).
Chery Fulwin A8 Yuanhang Edition is a plug-in hybrid: the traction battery capacity is 18 kWh, the range is on pure electricity — 106 km (according to CLTC methodology). The power plant uses a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a thermal efficiency of 44.5% and a power of 156 hp, as well as one electric motor with a power of 204 hp. Judging by the fact that the DHT150 transmission was chosen as the gearbox, the internal combustion engine has no connection with the wheels, that is, we are talking about a classic sequential hybrid.
The dimensions of the car are 4780 x 1843 x 1469 mm, wheelbase — 2790 mm.
Equipped — two 12.3-inch screens, wireless charging for a smartphone, a panoramic roof, driver and front passenger seats with heating and ventilation. Chery Fulwin A8 Yuanhang Edition is presented in China in three trim levels, prices — from 15.2 to 18 thousand dollars.
