Overview edit
The design of the production Exeed LX is previewed by the Exeed LX concept car released in 2018.[1] In July 2019, the production Exeed LX compact crossover was revealed based on the same platform as the first generation Chery Tiggo 7 while featuring restyled front and rear ends. Exeed is the premium brand of Chery marketed towards the European market, and the LX is the second model under the brand following the Exeed TX. Interior-wise, the LX designs are completely different from Tiggo 7, with the instrument panel and multimedia screen integrated as a single set. The central console is floating and houses the gearshift knob and the digital air conditioning controls.[2]
The Exeed LX has a length of 4,533 mm (178.5 in), a width of 1,848 mm (72.8 in), a height of 1,699 mm (66.9 in), and a wheelbase of 2,670 mm (105.1 in). The Exeed LX was launched on the Chinese car market in the fourth quarter of 2019 with pricing to start around 130,000 yuan ($18,950).[3]
Exeed Zhuifeng edit
The Exeed LX received a facelift with an additional Chinese name called the Zhuifeng (追风) in August 2021 for the 2022 model year.[4]

The transmission of the Exeed LX is an automated seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.[3] A 1.5-litre petrol turbo engine producing 156 hp (116 kW; 158 PS) and an estimated torque of 24 kg⋅m (235 N⋅m; 174 lb⋅ft) mated to a 9-speed CVT transmission was added to the 2020 model year.[5]
Markets edit
Brazil edit
Caoa Chery in Brazil is the producer and distributor of products from Exeed, with the first Exeed model commercialized in the Brazilian market from the first quarter of 2021. The LX crossover SUV was chosen for the debut of Exeed in Brazil due to the T1X platform and other components shared with the Tiggo 7 made in Anápolis.[6]

The Exeed LX was launched to the Russian market in March 2022[7] with a 1.5-litre petrol turbo engine producing 145 hp (108 kW; 147 PS) and a CVT transmission.
