Chery Unveils the Transformable SUV

On November 24, 2025, Chery made a significant mark in automotive innovation by launching the world's first transformable multi-purpose SUV, known as the "Chery X," during the prestigious GAIKINDO Jakarta Auto Week. The event was attended by Mr. Zhou Dinghua, Executive Deputy General Manager of Chery International, alongside notable representatives from over a hundred Indonesian media outlets, creating an atmosphere charged with excitement and curiosity.

Revolutionary Design and Features

The Chery X boasts a striking design characterized by its standout features such as the bold "tiger roar" front grille and unique "tiger eye" taillights. The vehicle's exterior is complemented by three distinct "claw mark" lines, which give it a powerful and dynamic look. Inside, the adaptable layout is a game-changer, demonstrating Chery's vision for enhancing family mobility through inventive design.

With a length of 4,900 mm and a wheelbase of 2,800 mm, the SUV offers ample space for passengers and cargo alike, catering to various family scenarios. The versatility of the Chery X is highlighted by its ability to seamlessly transform—from a 7-seater for everyday use to a luxurious 4-seater, a camper van set-up, or an open-top SUV for adventurous outings. The second-row seats are foldable, while the third row features a quick-release mechanism, simplifying transitions between configurations.

Built for All Terrains

Moreover, the Chery X has been meticulously engineered to handle Indonesia's diverse landscapes, featuring a fully waterproofed powertrain, which includes the engine, transmission, electric motors, and battery system. It is designed to handle wading depths of up to 700 mm and has 220 mm of ground clearance, making it well-suited for traversing muddy paths and shallow streams with confidence. This adaptability ensures that families can enjoy reliable performance, regardless of the environment.

Filling the Market Gap

The introduction of the Chery X significantly enhances Chery's presence within the multi-form SUV segment in Indonesia. This model complements the existing product range, thereby forming a comprehensive portfolio that addresses family, off-road, and personalized automobile needs. With this latest release, Chery seeks to redefine what is possible for vehicle usage, aiming to expand its competitive edge in the regional market.

By delivering on the promise of "One Vehicle, Endless Lifestyles," Chery not only provides versatile mobility options but also aspires to unlock new dimensions of lifestyle for families across Southeast Asia and beyond. As the world watches, Chery is poised to revolutionize the concept of family vehicles with the Chery X's groundbreaking design and functionality.
