The Fulwin A9 is Chery's mid-size electric fastback sedan, launched in China from 109,900 yuan with 655 km of CLTC range, and offered alongside a range-extender (EREV) version for buyers who want no charging anxiety.
Chery
One of China's oldest carmakers, founded in 1997 in Wuhu, Anhui, and now the country's largest vehicle exporter. Chery sells sedans, SUVs and EVs under its own name and through export-focused sub-brands like Jaecoo, Omoda and Exeed, and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in September 2025.

News about Chery
Chery Jaguar Land Rover priced its first Freelander-badged model from 339,900 yuan (about $50,100), rising to 429,900 yuan for the top six-seater. The venture had publicly aimed at the 300,000 yuan segment, and the entry car lands 13 percent above that target.
Chery says the Fulwin A9 locked 18,173 orders in 72 hours, from 115,900 yuan ($17,100). Xiaomi's YU7 took 315,900 in the same window last year, and neither number tells you how many cars will actually ship.
Chery's Jaecoo and Omoda sub-brands will be assembled locally in Kazakhstan from Q3 2026, at the AMMKZ plant in Almaty. Jaecoo J5 and J7 PHEV are first; Omoda C5 and C7 follow. Astana Motors replaces Aster as the official distributor for both brands.
Explainers
The Volkswagens sold in China are built by two companies, and one of them is Chinese. That arrangement started in 1983 as a condition of entry, and it has since produced badges that exist nowhere else: Jetta, Wuling, and AUDI in block capitals with no rings. Who holds which half, which brands the ventures invented for themselves, and which of the old partnerships have quietly ended.
Aion is GAC, Jaecoo and Omoda are Chery, Deepal is Changan, Nammi is Dongfeng. Ten Chinese brands whose names do not carry the parent company, grouped by how each one relates to its owner: brands sold only outside China, recent badges on long-established state groups, brands two levels below the group, and one that Huawei supplies but does not own.
China's car market runs on a handful of giant groups, each fielding a stack of brands. Here is who owns what - the parent companies, the sub-brands, the Huawei alliance, and why the chart keeps changing.
Chery Automobile was founded in 1997 in Wuhu, Anhui province, making it one of China’s oldest independent carmakers. It built its early reputation on affordable sedans and SUVs sold domestically, then became the country’s largest vehicle exporter, shipping cars to Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Russia and Europe years before most Chinese rivals had an export strategy.
The core Chery brand still sells sedans, SUVs and a growing range of EVs and plug-in hybrids in China, including the Fulwin (Fengyun) sub-line. Alongside it, Chery has built a family of export-focused brands with distinct identities: Jaecoo and Omoda for adventure-styled and mainstream SUVs, and Exeed for a more premium positioning, all engineered on shared Chery platforms.
Chery listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in September 2025, the largest automotive IPO on that exchange that year, moving the company from a purely state-owned structure to one co-owned by the Anhui and Wuhu governments, employees and private investors.
