2027 Exeed ES Pre-Order Opens From RMB 189,900 With NVIDIA Orin-Y and Falcon 700 ADAS

Chery’s premium Exeed sub-brand opened pre-orders for the all-new 2027 Exeed ES on June 12, 2026, with three trims spanning RMB 189,900 to RMB 219,900 (USD 26,200–USD 30,300). The 2027 ES brings two pivotal upgrades over the outgoing model: an NVIDIA Orin-Y compute platform (paired with Chery’s “Falcon 700” ADAS) and dual-powertrain availability — buyers can choose either pure-electric BEV or extended-range EREV configurations on the same body.

For overseas readers tracking how Chery is positioning the Exeed brand globally (the company has confirmed Exeed retail rollout in Spain, Italy, the UK, Australia, and Mexico through 2026–2027 — see our Chery Tiggo + Jaecoo Europe rollout 2026), the 2027 ES is the brand’s flagship sedan and will eventually anchor Exeed’s right-hand-drive export portfolio.

Pricing and Trim Walk

Trim	Pre-Order Price (RMB)	USD Equivalent	Powertrain
ES Pro Falcon 700 EREV	189,900	~USD 26,200	EREV (1.5T+e-motor)
ES Max Falcon 700 BEV	209,900	~USD 28,900	BEV (95 kWh)
ES Ultra Falcon 700 BEV	219,900	~USD 30,300	BEV (95 kWh) AWD

All three trims arrive with the Falcon 700 ADAS sensor pack and Orin-Y compute as standard.

NVIDIA Orin-Y + Falcon 700: What’s Inside

The 2027 ES is one of the first cars in the >RMB 200K mainstream segment to ship the NVIDIA Drive Orin-Y compute SoC at 254 TOPS dedicated AI compute, paired with Chery’s in-house “Falcon 700” perception stack. The Falcon 700 sensor configuration:

• 1× 192-line roof-mount LiDAR (Hesai AT128P)
• 11× 8MP HD cameras (3× front, 4× side, 4× rear/surround)
• 5× mmWave radar + 12× ultrasonic
• SAE L2++ urban NCA + highway NCA + memory parking + summon
• Chery’s promise: city-NCA available at launch in 80+ China cities, scaling to nationwide by Q2 2027

This combination effectively makes the 2027 ES Chery’s volume answer to Huawei Qiankun-equipped models — and notably, it leverages the broader Chery–Yinwang autonomous driving partnership we covered in our Chery + Huawei Yinwang L3/L4 partnership for L3/L4 future capability, while the L2++ daily-use stack is solved in-house with NVIDIA Orin-Y silicon.

Powertrain Specifications

BEV Variants (Max + Ultra)

• Battery: 95 kWh CATL ternary (NMC), 800V SiC architecture
• CLTC range: 720 km (Max RWD) / 690 km (Ultra AWD)
• Charging: 10–80% in 15 min on 250 kW DC peak
• Single-motor RWD: 250 kW / 425 N·m, 0–100 in 6.5 s
• Dual-motor AWD: 460 kW combined, 0–100 in 4.2 s

EREV Variant (Pro)

• Range-extender: Chery 1.5T 4-cylinder (Acteco-evo, 110 kW)
• Battery: 35 kWh BYD Blade LFP
• Pure-EV range: 220 km (CLTC)
• Combined range: 1,400 km (CLTC)
• Single-motor FWD: 200 kW / 360 N·m

Cabin and Tech

The 2027 ES cabin retains the existing curved triple-screen layout (10.25-inch driver + 15.6-inch center + 12.3-inch passenger), but the underlying SOC moves from a Qualcomm SA8295 to a dual-chip arrangement of Qualcomm SA8295P + NVIDIA Orin-Y. This delivers PC-grade gaming on the rear screens (where Steam-style cloud gaming is bundled via Chery’s CarPlay 3.0 partnership), and the front cockpit now runs a Lingxi Cockpit OS update with smartphone-grade UI fluidity.

Comfort + Audio

• 20-speaker Sennheiser audio (Ultra trim)
• Massage + heating + ventilation on all four seats (Max/Ultra)
• Rear seat 35-degree recline with “office mode” deployable tray
• Continuous double-glazed acoustic side glass on Max/Ultra

Why the 2027 ES Pricing Position Matters

At RMB 189,900 starting, the 2027 ES undercuts most equivalently equipped LiDAR-NCA mid-size sedans by RMB 30,000–50,000. It directly threatens the BYD Han DM-i (PHEV), Geely Galaxy Starship 7 (BEV), and Zeekr 007 (BEV). With the EREV trim’s 1,400 km combined range, the ES Pro is also positioned to convert PHEV/ICE-sedan buyers in tier-2/tier-3 cities where charging anxiety still drives purchase decisions.

Production and Export Plan

2027 ES production starts at Chery’s Wuhu Plant 5 in August 2026, with first customer deliveries in late September. Export plans confirmed for Mexico, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and right-hand-drive Australia from Q2 2027.

FAQ

What is the price of the 2027 Exeed ES?

Pre-order pricing announced June 12, 2026: RMB 189,900–219,900 (USD 26,200–USD 30,300) across three trims. Final retail pricing confirmed at the September 2026 launch event.

What ADAS hardware does the 2027 Exeed ES use?

NVIDIA Drive Orin-Y SoC (254 TOPS) paired with Chery’s Falcon 700 sensor stack: 1× 192-line LiDAR, 11× HD cameras, 5× mmWave, 12× ultrasonic — supporting SAE L2++ urban NCA, highway NCA, memory park, and summon.

Does the 2027 Exeed ES come as EV or hybrid?

Both. The Pro trim is an EREV with 220 km EV range and 1,400 km combined; the Max and Ultra trims are 95 kWh BEVs with 720 km / 690 km CLTC range respectively, on 800V SiC architecture.

Will the Exeed ES be exported outside China?

Yes — Mexico, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and right-hand-drive Australia from Q2 2027, following Chery’s broader Exeed-brand global rollout that already includes EU markets in 2026.

Editor’s note: The 2027 Exeed ES is a structurally aggressive product — putting Orin-Y + Falcon 700 LiDAR ADAS into a sub-RMB 200K mid-size sedan with both EREV and BEV options is the kind of price-to-tech compression that defined China’s NEV market through 2025. International buyers in export markets should expect the 2027 ES to land roughly USD 8,000–12,000 above its China RMB price after duties + transport, still leaving it well-priced versus equivalent European offerings.
