Chinese firm's hybrid EV offers 1,250-mile range with lithium iron phosphate battery
The A9L debuted at the Hong Kong International Automotive and Supply Chain Expo on June 12, with pricing expected between $20,700 and $27,600. The car measures 5.018 meters in length, 1.965 meters in width and stands at a height of 3 meters.
Under the hood, the sedan is powered by Chery's advanced Kunpeng Super Hybrid Electric 6.0 system, paired with a stepless DHT Pro transmission. Its 1.5T turbocharged engine produces 160 kW of peak power and 310 Nm of torque, working alongside a 33.7 kWh lithium iron phosphate Kunpeng Blade Battery.
The hybrid setup enables a pure electric range of up to 161 miles and a total combined range of roughly 1,243 miles when fully charged and fueled. Chery has equipped the A9L with a high-performance infotainment system driven by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8255 chipset, a streamlined variant of the more advanced 8295.
For driver assistance and autonomous functions, the vehicle relies on 27 intelligent sensors—including LiDAR, millimeter-wave radars, surround-view and panoramic cameras, as well as ultrasonic sensors—all connected to the Orin Y 200T computing platform for enhanced situational awareness and semi-autonomous capabilities.
Thanks to this sensor suite and computing power, the A9L supports features like memory parking, Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) for both highway and urban driving, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and blind spot lane change alerts. However, some variants may forgo LiDAR, offering standard Level 2 driver assistance instead.
This month at the 2025 International Automotive and Supply Chain Expo in Hong Kong, the company's Chairman Yin Tongyue announced that Chery will soon become the first Chinese automaker to export over 5 million vehicles. This event also marks Chery's first appearance at the Hong Kong Auto Expo, and the company plans to officially launch its vehicles in Hong Kong later this year, CarNewsChina reported.
According to figures, between January and May 2025, Chery Group sold 1,026,517 vehicles, marking a 14% increase over the previous year. New energy vehicle (NEV) sales soared 111.5% year-on-year to 287,798 units, while exports reached 443,940 cars—meaning, on average, one Chery vehicle ships overseas every 29 seconds.
In May, Chery Group sold 205,732 vehicles, a 9.1% increase, including 191,567 from Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., up 7.2%. New energy vehicle sales rose 47.7% to 63,169 units, and exports grew 7.7% to 100,737 units. By the end of May, Chery had over 16.7 million users worldwide, with more than 4.94 million outside China.
Now, the Chery Fulwin A9L is gearing up for its global launch in the first quarter of 2026, highlighting the company's dedication to growing its international footprint and advancing its global expansion plans. Executives also confirmed that funds raised from Chery's upcoming IPO will mainly be invested in NEV research and development, as well as expanding into overseas markets.

Stocks mostly rise on trade deal optimism
Asian markets mostly rose Thursday on optimism that governments will hammer out deals to avoid the worst of US President Donald Trump's tariffs even after he broadened his range of measures. Negotiators from around the world have tried to reach agreements with Washington since Trump in April unveiled his "Liberation Day" tariff bombshell, with a July 9 deadline recently pushed back to August 1. Letters have been sent in recent days to more than 20 trading partners -- including Japan and South Korea -- setting out new tolls, with some higher and some lower than the initial levels. The US president also said this week he would put a 50 percent tariff on copper imports, while considering a 200 percent charge for pharmaceuticals. However, analysts said the threats are largely being seen as negotiating tools, and investors have increasingly taken them in their stride, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting all-time highs in New York. And David Chao, global market strategist for Asia Pacific at Invesco, painted a positive picture even in light of the threatened levies. "Should the US ultimately impose higher tariffs on Asian countries, the region appears better positioned to withstand the resulting headwinds," he wrote. "A softer dollar should give Asian central banks greater flexibility to ease policy to support their domestic economies without heightened concerns over currency depreciation." Asian stocks mostly advanced after a healthy lead from Wall Street, where the Nasdaq hit another peak thanks to a surge in Nvidia that pushed the firm to a $4 trillion valuation at one point. Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sydney, Singapore, Seoul, Taipei, Manila and Jakarta all rose, though Tokyo edged down with Wellington. The broadly upbeat mood helped push bitcoin above $112,000 for the first time. There was also little reaction to news that Trump had hit Brazil with a 50 percent tariff as he blasted the trial of the country's ex-president Jair Bolsonaro. In a letter addressed to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, he called the treatment of his right-wing ally an "international disgrace". Bolsonaro is on trial over accusations he plotted a coup after his 2022 election loss to Lula. Lula said he will impose reciprocal levies on the United States. Brazil had not been among those threatened with these higher duties previously, with the United States running a goods trade surplus instead with the South American giant. Traders were given few guides on the Federal Reserve's interest rate plans after minutes from its June policy meeting showed officials divided on the best way forward. Boss Jerome Powell's patient approach to lowering borrowing costs has drawn the ire of Trump, who on Wednesday said they were "at least" three points too high. While the board sees the president's tariffs as inflationary, the minutes said there remained "considerable uncertainty" on the timing, size and duration of the effects. Companies might choose not to raise consumer prices until they depleted their product stockpiles, for example, but supply chain disruptions caused by the levies could trigger larger price hikes. "While a few participants noted that tariffs would lead to a one-time increase in prices and would not affect longer-term inflation expectations, most participants noted the risk that tariffs could have more persistent effects on inflation," the report said. - Key figures at around 0230 GMT - Tokyo - Nikkei 225: DOWN 0.5 percent at 39,610.61 (break) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: UP 0.2 percent at 23,938.07 Shanghai - Composite: UP 0.3 percent at 3,503.13 Euro/dollar: UP at $1.1741 from $1.1719 on Wednesday Pound/dollar: UP at $1.3608 from $1.3590 Dollar/yen: DOWN at 145.95 yen from 146.30 yen Euro/pound: UP at 86.28 pence from 86.21 pence West Texas Intermediate: DOWN 0.2 percent at $68.28 per barrel Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.1 percent at $70.15 per barrel New York - Dow: UP 0.5 percent at 44,458.30 (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.2 percent at 8,867.02 (close) dan/rsc Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Japan's 20-Year Bond Sale Demand Lower Than 12-Month Average
Demand at Japan's 20-year government bond auction was lower than the average over the past 12 months, as an upcoming election highlights the likelihood that the nation's sovereign debt will keep rising. The average bid-to-cover ratio was 3.15, compared to the 12-month average of 3.29. The ratio was 3.11 for the last auction. In another sign of lackluster investor demand, the tail, or gap between average and lowest-accepted prices, was 0.18, compared with 0.28 at the previous sale.

Is China Dodging US Tariffs? Direct Exports To America Plunge 43% As Vietnam And Indonesia See Big Spurts: Report
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. China's exports to the United States have plunged over 43% year-over-year in May, representing a $15 billion drop in trade value, yet at the same time, China's total exports have increased 4.8%, according to official figures, despite the trade and tariff-related turbulence. What Happened: On Monday, in a post on X, The Kobeissi Letter shared the latest trade data coming in official Chinese sources, hinting at the rerouting of goods to circumvent the current U.S. trade and tariff regime. The post notes that exports to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) rose 15% year-over-year during the month, while shipments to the European Union climbed 12%. Meanwhile, there was a 30% spike in Chinese exports routed through Vietnam, and a similar 25% increase via Indonesia. Trending: GoSun's Breakthrough Rooftop EV Charger Already Has 2,000+ Units Reserved — These figures have since fueled speculations that China is shifting its trade strategy, rerouting exports through regional partners to maintain global market access while reducing direct exposure to U.S. tariffs. This comes amid growing efforts made by the U.S. Government to close potential backdoors for Chinese goods. The recent trade deal with Vietnam, which involved a 40% tariff on rerouted goods, is largely aimed at the same, and is thus being seen as a 'proxy trade war' with China. Why It Matters: Economists believe that President Donald Trump's 40% tariff on rerouted goods from Vietnam could warrant backlash from China, with economist Rana Sajedi saying that it might be seen as a direct challenge, leading to targeted trade measures. The U.S. has also been urging Vietnam to reduce its reliance on Chinese technologies that are used in the production of goods that are later exported. Experts have long viewed tariffs as an opportunity for rerouting and transshipment, rather than a threat. 'During 2018-19 when similar tariffs were put into effect, cargo was rerouted through Southeast Asia, Mexico and Europe, and a similar pattern is emerging now,' says Moritz Fuhrmann, the Co-CEO of MPC Container Ships ASA (OTC:MPZZF).
