Chery has announced the preliminary pricing details for its Fengyun A8 Hybrid sedan also known as the Arrizo 8. The car will cost approximately 130,000–150,000 Yuan when it starts shipping in late January, but you can already make a pre-order.
Starting with the powertrain, it comprises
a 1.5-liter turbo engine and a single electric motor. The former makes 156 PS and 220 Nm of torque, while the taller produces a
superior 204 PS along with 310 Nm of torque.
Sprinting from zero to 100 km/h takes seven seconds. An 18.3-kWh battery pack lets you drive up to 125 km in electric mode. Firing up the main engine extends the range to over
1,400 km with the average fuel economy of 4.2 liters per 100
kilometers (that’s 56 miles per gallon).
Compared to the standard Arrizo 8, the
hybrid sports a different radiator grille, a slightly tweaked badge and new
wheels. Its domestic base trim will include 17-inch wheels, 10 airbags and a
Qualcomm 8155-powered infotainment system with a 24.6-inch twin-display setup.
A Sony audio system, a wireless smartphone charger and a panoramic roof are
included as well.
