Chery Introduces a Hybrid Crossover in Russia with a Patented DHT Transmission
A new hybrid crossover from Chery is slated to arrive in Russia, featuring an original patented dual-mode hybrid transmission. The vehicle blends a gasoline engine with two electric motors and pairs them with a DHT transmission that enables independent and coordinated control by both the internal combustion engine and the electric units. This setup creates a flexible drive system designed to optimize power delivery, efficiency, and driving feel across a variety of road conditions.
On electric power alone, the crossover is capable of traveling a considerable distance, exceeding 75 kilometers, while the combined fuel economy is reported to be exceptionally efficient, achieving around 1 liter per 100 kilometers in mixed driving conditions. This figure highlights the strong efficiency potential offered by the hybrid powertrain and the intelligent management of energy between the engines and the electric motors.
With the introduction of this hybrid model, Chery aims to secure a leadership position within the D-segment crossover category and to set new standards for efficiency and performance in the market. In the coming year, Chery is also planning a reform of model lines and a broadening of trim levels within its crossovers. The Tiggo 4, Tiggo 7, and Tiggo 8 series are expected to receive updates and expanded equipment portfolios to appeal to a wider range of customers seeking modern features and better value. In January, the Tiggo 7 Pro MAX is anticipated to be showcased at franchised Chery dealerships, illustrating the continued expansion of the Tiggo lineup.
