Chery Mars Architecture-Super Hybrid Platform
Mars Architecture-Super Hybrid Platform was built by six R&D centers in China, including Wuhu, Shanghai, North America, South America, Europe and Central Asia. Based on 26 years of technology precipitation, it took 36 months to build. Under the blessing of "Technology Chery", the Mars Architecture-Super Hybrid Platform has undergone "Global Adaptability Development Verification" covering seven dimensions of temperature, humidity, oil, corrosion, illumination, precipitation and dust, plus 30,000 hours of bench verification and 5,000,000 kilometers of vehicle verification, providing a reliable endorsement of global verification standards for every product on the production line. At the same time, the platform originated from Chery’s experience in serving 11.2 million users in more than 80 countries/regions, and it is also the co-creation result of users all over the world.
The Mars Architecture-Super Hybrid Platform originated from Chery’s "Eta Ursae Majoris 2025" strategy, which represents the direction of Chery’s hybrid and fuel vehicles in the next five years, and shows Chery’s new vision of transforming to new energy travel. The "Hybrid Special Module" is based on efficient hybrid development, which is compatible with traditional fuel power and realizes the compatibility between hybrid and traditional power. Its modular design idea expands infinite combination ways and possibilities, with a variable wheelbase of 2700-2900mm and a variable tread distance of 1600-1640mm, which can realize the super derivative matrix of different models, levels and functions such as SUV and MPV.
Thanks to the latest third-generation hybrid technology and the fifth-generation hybrid engine of Chery Eta Ursae Majoris Laboratory, the Mars architecture-super hybrid platform can reach the maximum thermal efficiency of more than 44%, and exert the power of every drop of fuel to the extreme. In addition, the Mars architecture-super hybrid platform is also equipped with a new generation of intelligent hybrid gearbox, with a four-wheel drive acceleration of 4.5s for 100km, a comprehensive battery life of over 1,300km, and support for 60kW fast charging. It only takes 18 minutes to charge the battery from 30% to 80%.
The platform will adopt Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, with 28 high-sensing sensors (intelligent assisted driving adopts an integrated parking scheme, independent intelligent driving domain controller, 6 forward-looking and panoramic cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter-wave radars, etc.). The new platform products are equipped with high-level Chery Pilot intelligent driving, with 21 basic ADAS functions and 11 high-level intelligent driving functions. In the future, the new platform will be equipped with Chery Pilot L4.0 intelligent driving system.
Editor’s point of view: The release of Mars architecture-super hybrid platform will help Chery further transform and upgrade from "technical Chery" to "technical Chery" and enhance the global recognition and influence of China brand. In addition to the Tiggo 9, it is believed that there will be more models based on this platform in the near future, and Chery will further complete its own electrification transformation.
