When you think of Chery, what comes to mind? Is it the "tech geek" label or the "king of concept cars"? This time, Chery has introduced the Lie Feng—a shooting brake hatchback equipped with the Kunpeng solid-state battery, boasting an impressive 1,500km pure electric range and the ability to operate at -30°C. The moment this range figure was announced, it shook the entire EV industry!
Netizens: 1500km in winter? Insane!
Chery Lie Feng made its debut at the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show and immediately stole the spotlight. The reason? A solid-state battery paired with a shooting brake design—a combination that’s truly something special.
In the EV community, range anxiety has always been a hot topic. Many complain: "Turn on the heater in winter, and the battery drains like a waterfall." But this time, Chery is going all-in. Official data states that even in -30°C conditions, it can still achieve 1,500km of range, completely crushing all currently mass-produced EVs.
Netizens were shocked:
- "This is insane! A 1,500km range in winter? Even 500km on the highway is enough. 1,500km is just overkill!"
- "How big does this battery have to be?"
- "This must be insanely expensive! What's the point of a concept car? Chery, just sell the solid-state battery instead!"
Exterior: A Panamera Lookalike? Can Chery’s Design Compete?
At first glance, many netizens immediately noticed the Lie Feng’s design inspiration:
"Isn’t this just a Panamera shooting brake?"
- Front End: A closed grille with customizable light patterns, giving it a high-tech feel—even the logo lights up.
- Body: Blackout treatment from A-pillar to D-pillar, creating a floating roof effect for a sportier look.
-
Wheels: A three-stage diamond-cut wind blade design, full of intricate details. However, opinions were divided:
- "The car looks great, but the wheels don’t match the overall style."
-
Rear: A full-width taillight with an illuminated FULWIN badge. Some loved it, while others said:
- "Too flashy, like a neon sign!"
- "Too flashy, like a neon sign!"
One netizen brutally commented: "Concept car = Liu Yifei, mass production = Luo Yufeng." Meaning: the concept looks stunning, but the final product might be disappointing. Chery’s design team, you better step up your game!
Performance & Tech: 0-100km/h in 3s, L3 Autonomous Driving, Top-Tier Hardware
If the exterior is all about sportiness, then the Lie Feng’s powertrain and smart features take it to a supercar level.
- 0-100km/h in 3 seconds, top speed 260km/h, four-wheel steering, and dual-chamber air suspension for ultimate stability.
- L3 autonomous driving, featuring two hidden LiDAR sensors, using the same setup as Avatr.
- Huawei HarmonyOS cockpit + Snapdragon 8295 chip, supporting a 15.6-inch center console display + AR-HUD projection for a futuristic driving experience.
- 23-speaker high-fidelity sound system + dual wireless charging panels, delivering a luxurious atmosphere.
After seeing these specs, netizens were stunned:
- "Chery is really going all out! This chassis is on par with million-dollar luxury cars."
- "But Chery’s concept cars usually take over three years to hit production. They’re notorious for delays."
Range & Charging: 800V Fast Charging—Can It Beat Range Extenders?
The biggest game-changer? Lie Feng’s battery tech—solid-state battery + 800V high-voltage fast charging, combining extreme range with cold-weather adaptability.
- 1,500km range at -30°C—while most EVs struggle in winter, the Lie Feng simply ignores the cold.
- 800V fast charging, enabling 400km of range in just 10 minutes, faster than refueling a gas car!
Netizens were in disbelief:
- "Even 400km in winter would be impressive. Is Chery really serious about 1,500km?"
- "The real question is: how safe is this solid-state battery? Battery fires are a bigger concern than range."
While solid-state batteries are theoretically safer, they haven’t been mass-produced yet. Whether Chery can truly commercialize them remains a major question.
Conclusion: Can Lie Feng Disrupt the EV Market?
