The 2027 Chery Fulwin T11 has launched in China with roof-mounted lidar and Falcon 700 driver assistance now standard from 209,900 yuan, approximately A$46,300, according to Chinese launch reports.

The 5.2-metre, six-seat range-extender SUV went on sale on 12 November 2026, with four grades priced from 189,900 yuan, or approximately A$41,800.

Sold in some overseas markets as the Exlantix ET9, the T11 is not confirmed for Australia, although Chery's premium Exlantix brand is due to launch here from mid-2027.

The annual update follows the T11's original Chinese launch in October 2025 and lowers the starting price for standard lidar from 249,900 yuan on the 2026 model to 209,900 yuan.

A limited-time trade-in offer reduces each grade's Chinese guide price by 10,000 yuan, approximately A$2,200, bringing the promotional range to 179,900 - 239,900 yuan, or roughly A$39,600 - A$52,900.

Falcon 700 is now standard on both Max Smart Driving grades and the Ultra, combining roof-mounted lidar with a 4D millimetre-wave radar and urban navigation-assisted driving functions.

The entry-level Plus retains Falcon 500, but buyers can specify a Falcon 700 package for 12,000 yuan, approximately A$2,600.

Danxia Red and Xiayu Orange join the paint palette, while the SUV's dimensions remain unchanged at 5205mm long, 1998mm wide and 1800mm tall, with a 3120mm wheelbase.

Inside, the T11 retains six seats arranged in a 2+2+2 layout.

Cabin equipment includes a 30-inch panoramic dashboard display, a 17.3-inch rear entertainment screen and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8255 chip, alongside four electrically operated soft-close doors and a hands-free power tailgate.

Eleven airbags are standard.

The powertrain continues to use a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol range extender, with single-motor rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive configurations.

Rear-wheel-drive versions produce either 195kW/324Nm or 200kW/332Nm depending on grade, use a 33.68kWh battery and have a claimed 0 - 100km/h time of 9.3 seconds.

All-wheel-drive versions deliver 350kW and 642Nm, reducing the claimed 0 - 100km/h time to 5.4 seconds.

Claimed electric-only range reaches up to 220km, with combined range of up to 1400km, both measured on China's CLTC test cycle.

Battery-depleted fuel consumption is rated at 6.1L/100km for rear-wheel drive and 7.02L/100km for all-wheel drive under WLTC testing, while DC charging from 30 to 80 per cent takes approximately 15 minutes.

Australian context

The locally sold 2027 Chery Tiggo 9 CSH costs $52,990 before on-road costs for the Elite FWD and $59,990 before on-road costs for the Ultimate AWD, both above the T11's converted Chinese starting price of approximately A$41,800.

The Tiggo 9 has seven seats rather than six and uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol plug-in hybrid powertrain.

The 2027 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid starts at $76,500 before on-road costs for the Elite eight-seat AWD, with Calligraphy versions costing $89,900 for eight seats or $90,900 for seven seats, also above the T11's converted Chinese price range of approximately A$41,800 - A$55,100.

Its hybrid system produces 245kW and 460Nm, below the T11 AWD's 350kW and 642Nm, while its quoted combined fuel consumption is 6.8L/100km, compared with the T11 AWD's 7.02L/100km (WLTC) with its battery depleted.

Chery has also confirmed Australian pricing for its Stockman diesel plug-in hybrid ute, adding another electrified model to its local rollout.

Exlantix, the export name of Chery's premium Exeed brand, will begin its Australian launch with the ET SUV and ES GT wagon, with electric and plug-in hybrid versions.

That confirmed mid-2027 brand launch does not yet include the larger T11-derived ET9.
