The model positioning covers small SUV, compact SUV and medium-sized SUV, that is to say, from small SUV to medium-sized SUV, there are corresponding product layouts for foreign products. In the past 2022, Ruihu series was the main sales force of Chery Automobile, but this situation has changed since 2023. Take the retail sales volume of the association as an example, the sales volume of Chery Automobile in May 2023 was 28516 vehicles.

As Chery's key strategy to impact high-end brands, Chery Automobile applies almost all advanced technologies to Xingtu and places high hopes on it, but the sales volume of Xingtu fails to meet expectations. Although its sales volume has increased year-on-year after entering 2022, it is still unsatisfactory.

In April this year, the brand-new generation of Xingtu Automobile was officially launched. The new car launched 6 models with the price range of 1899 - 233,900 yuan. After the new car is launched, it will compete with Toyota Highlander. According to the retail sales data of the Federation, the monthly sales volume of Xingtu in May was 1002 vehicles, second only to Xingtu Yaoguang (1517 vehicles).

Jietu is an automobile product series launched by Chery Holding Group in January 2018. It once belonged to Kairui Automobile. At the beginning of its launch, it adopted the model strategy of high configuration and low price, and quickly relied on Chery channel end for layout. At present, it has Jetu X90, Jetu X70 and other product series. According to the plan, Jetu brand will launch many more competitive brand-new models in the future. The brand-new product strategy will be arranged in four product series of X, T, P and V, focusing on SUV, hard-core off-road, hard-core pickup truck and MPV models respectively, forming the plan of "4 urban SUV+3 cross-border series +N hybrid models".
