Chery unveils intelligent strategy, aiming for global smart driving expansion

On March 18, Chery Automobile held its intelligent?strategy conference in Wuhu, Anhui. The event marked the official release of Chery Group's intelligent?strategy and showcased key technological advancements, including the Falcon smart?driving?system, humanoid robots, and AI large models for smart cabins.

Chery introduced its "Falcon" smart driving system, which will be implemented across all of the group's brands and models in?2025. The system consists of three tiers: Falcon 500, an end-to-end large?model-based integrated driving and parking system supporting highway NOA, urban memory navigation, and automated parking; Falcon 700, featuring enhanced computing power for seamless full-scenario navigation, including valet parking?and spot-to-spot smart driving; and Falcon 900, an L3?system utilizing VLA and world model for advanced autonomous driving.

By the end of 2025, over 30 vehicle models across all powertrains (internal combution engine, hybrid, range-extended, and all-electric) will feature Falcon smart driving system, with global market deployment also in progress.

The Chery Little Ant (eQ1) Smart Driving Edition, priced at around 60,000 yuan, will set a new benchmark for affordable smart driving, offering 23 intelligent driving features, including automatic and remote parking, as well as highway NOA.

Chery's global user base has surpassed 16 million across over?100?countries. To meet diverse market demands, Chery is developing region-specific smart driving solutions, such as handling European roundabouts, Middle Eastern desert highways, and Southeast Asian high-density motorcycle traffic.

With dual EU certifications for cybersecurity and software updates, Chery’s smart driving system has accumulated over 4.5 billion kilometers in overseas operating distance. By 2026, Chery plans to introduce advanced intelligent driving models in Europe, accelerating the globalization of Chinese smart driving technology.
