Exlantix will launch in Australia in mid-2027 as Chery adds another premium-focused brand to the local market.

Exeed CEO Lillian Xiong confirmed the Australian launch timing, with the brand to use the Exlantix name locally after trademark issues prevented it from operating as Exeed.

Exlantix and Exeed are the same brand, with Exlantix typically used across export markets.

The first Australian models will be the Exlantix ET SUV and Exlantix ES GT wagon.

Both electric and plug-in hybrid powertrains are planned for Australia.

The ES GT was shown in right-hand drive form and features a large display spanning much of the dashboard.

Xiong positioned Exlantix in the same premium new-energy space as Zeekr and Denza.

The brand will operate separately in Australia and will not sit under the existing Chery or Omoda Jaecoo structure.

The Exlantix plan adds another Chery-linked launch to Australia’s 2027 calendar, alongside the iCAUR brand launch, and upcoming Freelander launch.

Exlantix Australia launch details

The use of Exlantix at the start of each model name is also expected to avoid issues with model names that may otherwise appear similar to existing nameplates.

Further local details, including pricing, specifications and retail structure, are still to be outlined closer to launch.
