Next, in the fall, Tiggo 7 Pro e + with a hybrid power plant will reach Russian dealers. Another hybrid, the Arrizo 8 e+ sedan, is expected in early 2024.

Well, the hybrid hybrid Chery Arrizo 8 with the prefix C-DM debuted at the Shanghai Motor Show just last week. The C-DM in the name is the third generation hybrid technology designation. It is known that the power reserve of such a sedan is 1.3 thousand kilometers, and without activating the internal combustion engine, it can travel over 100 kilometers. The declared fuel consumption in the WLTC combined cycle is four liters per 100 kilometers.
Chery also shared details about the company that produces hybrids. The factory, which covers an area of 550,000 square meters, implements the advanced concepts of digital intelligence and environmental protection. On the territory there are shops for stamping, welding, painting, assembly and general assembly, as well as the production of engines and transmissions. In the welding shop, the human factor is eliminated as much as possible and an automatic quality control system for the produced bodies is used – more than three hundred robots are responsible for it.
The production site allows the simultaneous production of both passenger cars with internal combustion engines and cars powered by alternative energy sources.
