The Exeed brand, a subsidiary of Chery, plans to bring a hybrid version of one of its models to the Russian market in 2024. Alongside this, Exlantix electric vehicles are set to enter the local market, signaling a broadened electrified lineup for the brand in the region.
Officials from the brand’s press service highlighted a busy 2024 agenda. In addition to the hybrid introduction in the first quarter, Exeed intends to launch the Exlantix electric product range, beginning with a sedan model. This move aligns with a broader push toward electrification and alternative propulsion in the mid-range segment that Exeed targets in Russia.
Details about which specific Exeed model will receive the hybrid system have not been disclosed. Presently, Exeed offers three plug-in hybrid models in its lineup, including the RX CD-M and VX REEV crossovers, as well as a compact LX crossover that uses the ET-i hybrid system. These options reflect the brand’s strategy to provide regional customers with electrified choices across different body styles.
The Exlantix brand is launching the E03 electric sedan, which is available with three power outputs: 252 hp, 313 hp, and 480 hp. The claimed range for the E03 reaches up to 700 km on a full charge, underscoring a strong emphasis on long-range capability within Exlantix’s initial offering. The model lineup mirrors a global trend toward higher-performance electric sedans that combine efficiency with acceleration to attract both everyday commuters and enthusiasts.

This context places Exeed’s 2024 rollout within a broader industry move toward electrification, sustainable propulsion, and premium-crossover versatility in global markets.
