Chery's Super Hybrid Breakthrough Marks Successful Endurance Test at Shanghai Auto Show 2025
Chery's Super Hybrid Journey at the Shanghai Auto Show 2025
On April 23, 2025, during the grand opening of the Shanghai Auto Show, Chery Automobile made waves by completing the first phase of its endurance event, the "Endless Horizon Worry-Free Voyage". This significant milestone demonstrated the capabilities and efficiency of its Super Hybrid models, the TIGGO9 CSH and ARRIZO8 CSH.
The Challenge
This endurance challenge, which spanned over four days, involved a media convoy from various countries including Malaysia, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Starting from Sanxia and traversing through Wuhan and Wuzhen, the convoy covered a distance of more than 1,400 kilometers before reaching its destination in Shanghai. The event not only highlighted the vehicles' performance but also aimed to boost global recognition of Chery's hybrid technology.
Throughout the journey, participants encountered diverse driving conditions such as urban traffic jams, hilly terrains, and high-speed stretches. This rigorous testing scenario allowed the innovative features of Chery’s Super Hybrid platform to shine. With its state-of-the-art 1.5TGDI hybrid engine boasting an impressive thermal efficiency of 44.5% and a transmission efficiency of 98.5%, the CSH was designed to offer a remarkable balance between power and efficiency.
Key Performances
The endurance test showcased the vehicles' capabilities in addressing range anxiety among potential users. Both the TIGGO9 CSH and ARRIZO8 CSH traveled the daunting distance of over 1,400 kilometers with impressive fuel economy. Specifically, the ARRIZO8 CSH reported a fuel consumption rate of just 4.2 l/100 km in conditions with a depleted battery. On the other hand, the TIGGO9 CSH, equipped with a specialized hybrid battery, demonstrated rapid charging capabilities, achieving 30-80% charge in merely 20 minutes. This feature is especially beneficial for users who enjoy outdoor activities, thanks to its 6.6-kW V2L function that can power camping equipment.
The high-speed performance was equally remarkable, with the vehicles maintaining a speed of 120 km/h over a 600-kilometer test. This capability reinforced the Super Hybrid’s status among its competitors, proving that performance does not need to sacrifice efficiency.
Advanced Technology
In terms of safety and comfort, the CSH models are equipped with nearly 20 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features. They also maintained a cabin noise level of just 60 dBA at high speeds, significantly enhancing the driving experience.
Chery’s involvement in this challenge is not solely about showcasing automotive technology. It embodies the company’s philosophy of “technological equality,” emphasizing that advanced technology should be accessible to all. Following the China segment, the endurance challenge will expand to include further testing in Malaysia and beyond. Over 40 practical tests in more than 20 countries and regions are anticipated, featuring other vehicles from the CSH lineup. This extensive testing is meant to illustrate the versatility and adaptability of the CSH system across varying environments.
In conclusion, Chery's successful completion of the Endless Horizon Worry-Free Voyage endurance test at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show not only solidifies its reputation for innovation but also establishes its commitment to technologically advanced, efficient, and reliable hybrid vehicles. As the automotive industry shifts towards sustainability, Chery stands at the forefront, ready to meet the needs of environmentally conscious consumers.
