Chinese Chery introduced the TJ-1 crossover, which should go on sale this year and get a new hybrid powertrain installation. It will be based on a highly efficient 1.5 c turbo engine thermal efficiency of 44.5 percent. Up to a hundred TJ-1 will be able to accelerate in four and a half seconds, and the power reserve with a full tank and a charged battery will exceed 1400 kilometers.





At the end of last week, Chery finally declassified crossover TJ-1. Disputes about what brand it will end up under sell - to the parent or one of the subsidiaries (Omoda, Jetour) - more did not calm down, but the model is positioned as a machine for light off-road and nature trips. She is one of the first to test hybrid power installation of C-DM family Kunpeng. It is based on a 1.5 c turbo engine thermal efficiency of 44.5 percent. Up to a hundred TJ-1 will accelerate in 4.26 seconds, and the total power reserve will exceed 1400 kilometers.



The TJ-1 will have simpler versions. On Chinese social network Weibo mentions a bunch of 1.6TGDI motor and 7DCT "robot". All over apparently, we are talking about the power unit Exeed TXL. In equipment crossover will include multimedia on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip with a screen 13.2-inch diagonal, dynamic interior lighting (64 colors), widescreen head-up display, 540-degree view function and panoramic roof area of 1.1 square meters. Official launch planned for the third quarter of 2023.



Simultaneously with the premiere of TJ-1, the Chinese announced a new brand Sterra. It is designed for "premium" electric vehicles and hybrids and positioning will be similar to Exeed. The firstborn of "Sterra" will be ES sedan, formerly known as the Exeed E03. He was promised air suspension, 800-volt electrical architecture, acceleration to "hundreds" in three seconds and mileage without recharging more than 700 kilometers.
