[edit]

The Chery Arrizo 8 PHEV (codenamed M1E-PHEV) was launched during the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show with the name Arrizo 8 C-DM, while later in October 2023, Chery teased that the Chery Fulwin A8 would be launched, which is in fact the previous Arrizo 8 C-DM model. The Fulwin A8 is equipped with Chery's third generation hybrid system with a 1.5 liter turbo engine developed exclusively for the hybrid system and a 1DHT130 transmission. The pure electric range could exceed 100km, resulting in a combined 1300km range. The WLTC fuel consumption is 4L/100km.[3]

The Fulwin A8L C-DM was unveiled during Auto Guangzhou 2024 as a longer C-DM variant of the Fulwin A8. Featuring restyled front and rear bumpers, the Fulwin A8L C-DM is 10mm longer than the regular Fulwin A8. The Fulwin A8L C-DM is powered by Chery’s Kunpeng Super Performance Electric Hybrid C-DM system with a 1.5 liter turbo engine and an electric motor. The C-DM powertrain can produce a maximum engine power output of 115 kW (154 hp) and a peak torque of 220 Nm. The A8L C-DM is equipped with a 18.67 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack supplied by Gotion High-tech, capable of a pure electric range of 106 km (CLTC conditions). The top speed of the Fulwin A8L C-DM is 185 km/h.[4]
