Chery revealed the all-electric Fulwin A9 station wagon at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, boasting a 700 km NEDC range and 800V fast charging. The practical wagon targets families with spacious cargo and advanced tech, positioning itself against the Tesla Model Y and BYD Seal U.
Chery has taken the wraps off the Fulwin A9 wagon at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, an electric estate version of the A9 sedan. Combining generous interior space with cutting-edge technology, the wagon offers a 700 km NEDC range and 800V fast charging, making it a strong contender in the family EV segment.
What makes the Fulwin A9 wagon different from the sedan?
The most obvious change is the extended roofline and larger rear cargo area, providing significantly more luggage capacity. The front fascia remains sleek with a closed grille and slim LED headlights, while overall length has increased slightly to accommodate the wagon profile. Inside, the cabin features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch central touchscreen running Chery’s Cloud interface.
What are the key specs?
- Range: 700 km (NEDC) – sufficient for long-distance travel without range anxiety.
- Charging: 800V architecture enables 10-80% charge in 15 minutes using up to 350 kW DC fast charging.
- Battery: Lithium-ion pack from CATL (capacity not officially disclosed).
- Motor: Single front motor producing 230 kW (308 hp).
- Dimensions (estimated): Length ~5.0 m, width ~1.9 m, height ~1.7 m, wheelbase ~3.0 m.
- Seating: 5 seats.
How much will the Fulwin A9 wagon cost in Saudi Arabia?
Chery has not announced official pricing, but the sedan starts at around 180,000 yuan (approx. SAR 90,000). The wagon is expected to be priced between 200,000 and 230,000 yuan, translating to roughly SAR 100,000 to 115,000 (USD 26,700 to 30,700). Final Gulf pricing will include import duties and regional adjustments.
When will it arrive in the UAE and Saudi Arabia?
Sales in China are expected to begin in the second half of 2026, with Middle Eastern markets likely receiving the wagon in 2027. Given the popularity of station wagons in the Gulf, especially for family use, the Fulwin A9 wagon could be a welcome addition. Its long range is particularly suited for desert highways, though the lack of a Tesla-like supercharger network may be a drawback.
Does it compete with the Tesla Model Y?
Yes, the Fulwin A9 wagon directly rivals the Tesla Model Y and BYD Seal U. Its key advantage is the longer range (700 km vs. 533 km for Model Y) and superior cargo space. However, Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network in the Gulf gives it an edge in charging convenience. Chery will need to partner with local charging providers to close that gap.
