Because of BYD, 2025 Becomes Another Turning Point in China’s Automotive History. The nationwide adoption of intelligent driving not only redefines automobiles but also transforms users' driving experiences.
However, BYD alone is not enough to achieve widespread adoption of intelligent driving. More major automakers must join in, and Chery is one of the indispensable players.
Chery, along with its five major brands—Chery, Exeed, Jetour, iCar, and Luxeed—has officially launched its intelligent strategy. With "Eye of the Gods," "G-Pilot," and "Falcon Intelligent Driving" forming a three-pronged ecosystem, Chery is making a bold statement in the industry.
Like BYD and Geely, Chery's Falcon Intelligent Driving system is divided into three main series. The Falcon 500 supports advanced functions such as highway NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) and city memory navigation. The Falcon 700 offers highway NOA, city NOA, and seamless full-scenario integration from parking space to parking space. The Falcon 900 features the next-generation VLA+ world model intelligent driving system, achieving L3-level autonomous driving capabilities.
In addition, Chery has launched the industry's first off-road intelligent driving technology—Falcon Intelligent Driving Off-Road. It covers three major all-terrain scenarios: H-NOA (Highway Navigation), C-NOA (City Navigation), and O-NOA (Off-Road Navigation), ensuring comprehensive coverage from urban roads to off-road adventures.
Chery has boldly set its sights on intelligentization: By the end of 2025, more than 30 models equipped with Falcon Intelligent Driving will be available in global markets, with official entry into the European market in 2026.
For a long time, new EV manufacturers have dominated the intelligent driving sector, holding the first-mover advantage and industry discourse power. Chery, much like BYD in its early days, remained relatively unnoticed.
BYD led the way in making intelligent driving mainstream in China throughout the past year. However, Chery’s latest intelligent strategy conference has demonstrated the true realization of universal intelligent driving.
All new models across Chery’s five brands—Chery, Exeed, Jetour, iCar, and Luxeed—will come equipped with different levels of Falcon Intelligent Driving systems.
BYD has lowered the entry price for intelligent driving to just 70,000 RMB with the Seagull, a move that excited EV enthusiasts. But Chery took things even further. It not only aims to popularize intelligent driving in new energy vehicles (NEVs) but also extends this technology to fuel-powered vehicles. The Chery Little Ant Model, priced as low as 60,000 RMB, will also come with built-in intelligent driving features.
From a manufacturing perspective, Chery has even greater confidence. Its collaboration with Huawei on the Luxeed brand has provided valuable experience in component supply chains, production processes, and technology—an essential pillar for accelerating the mass adoption of intelligent driving.
Although Chery does not have Huawei's QianKun Intelligent Driving system, Huawei's influence is still evident behind Chery’s intelligent strategy. Huawei’s expertise in intelligent driving technology, supply chain management, and quality control ensures that Chery’s push for global intelligent driving adoption stands at the highest industry level.
Unlike BYD’s "People's Intelligent Driving" for China, Chery's strategy aims directly at global users.
China has already become the world's largest car exporter, and Chery, having been the top Chinese auto exporter for 22 consecutive years, is a leader in both domestic and international markets. Chery’s intelligent strategy is not just focused on China—it is designed for the global stage.
In 2024, Chery completed its full transition to electrification in just one year. This rapid transformation hints at the massive industry shifts that its intelligent strategy could bring in 2025.
As China’s leading developer of self-researched fuel-powered engines, Chery has long taken a steady approach in the NEV market, much like Toyota’s methodical strategy. However, in 2024, Chery made a full-scale breakthrough.
In just one year, Chery launched over ten hybrid models globally, including the Fulwin A8, Fulwin T10, Fulwin T9, Tiggo 9 C-DM, and Tiggo 8 C-DM. The company completed an industry-leading transition, becoming the only automaker to successfully coordinate both fuel-powered and new energy vehicle development.
It is hard to imagine how Chery’s intelligent driving expansion in 2025 will further disrupt the industry. Chery boldly declares that intelligent driving technology should not be exclusive to NEVs—its "Oil & Electric Co-Intelligent Strategy" ensures that every user can access intelligent driving technology.
"Say the boldest words, take on the toughest challenges, and achieve the most remarkable results"—this is the spirit of Chery, the brand led by engineers.
BYD has introduced intelligent driving to the 70,000 RMB Seagull, breaking the price barrier for this technology. However, Chery’s simultaneous rollout of intelligent features in both fuel and NEVs, combined with its global strategy, makes its intelligent adoption even more significant.
As soon as BYD declared the goal of universal intelligent driving, the entire Chinese automotive industry followed suit. Any car lacking intelligent features could no longer claim to be a 2025 model.With Chery’s entry into the race, BYD’s vision of an intelligent driving world is finally complete.
BYD has the Seagull and the Yangwang U8 and Chery has the Tiggo 7 and a strong global market presence. For intelligent driving to truly go global, both BYD and Chery must work together—it cannot be achieved by just one brand alone.
The aggressive nature of Chery in the NEV market has become its defining strength. Now, as it aggressively advances intelligent vehicles, one must ask: is there anything Chery cannot achieve?
