Fengyun, once a classic fuel car owned by Chery, quickly became popular as soon as it was launched. Unfortunately, the car was discontinued after only two generations of models were launched.

In December 1999, Fengyun, the first product of Chery, officially went off the line, but because Chery did not have a car-building license at that time, Fengyun could not be listed in the national car production catalogue, so it could only be listed in the national car production catalogue with the help of the Wuhu municipal government. appear in the public eye as a taxi. In order to open the market as soon as possible, two years later, Chery chose to marry SAIC, and Fengyun was able to successfully enter the sedan sedan market in the name of "Shangqi Chery". With a low price of 88000 yuan, Fengyun sedan became popular as soon as it went on sale. 28000 cars were sold that year, and the next year's sales reached 50, 000. By 2003, Chery Fengyun's cumulative sales reached 100000. This achievement is quite classic in Chery's car department, and even directly props up half of the Chery brand.

In 2010, Fengyun 2, a successor model, was launched, but the car is not in the form of a Fengyun hatchback, but a hatchback similar to the Honda Feido, and the price is cheaper, and the price of 5.18-60800 yuan is sought after by many users. Data show that Fengyun 2 sold 150000 vehicles in the year it went public.

In 2013, Chery carried out a comprehensive reform, Ruiqi, Weilin and Qiyun were suspended, leaving only the Chery brand, and then the products within the Chery brand were further integrated, retaining only the four major product systems of QQ, Fengyun, Ruihu and Erize. Due to the short wheelbase, ordinary rear seat and storage space, and a lot of options for models of the same class, the car gradually faded off the stage and eventually stopped production in 2016.

Now that Fengyun has made a comeback, it is no longer focusing on fuel vehicles, but mainly on mixed models, and to some extent, the Fengyun series may be seen as the key to Chery's transition to new energy.

On September 16, Chery officially announced that it would officially name the previously exposed series of Chery's high-end new energy products "Fengyun". The first model, Fengyun A9, was unveiled simultaneously, which locates medium and large sedans. Like the new series of other brands, the Fengyun series will adopt the new brand LOGO. According to officials, the Fengyun series will focus on hybrid products, which is expected to be officially released in the fourth quarter, and the Kunpeng super hybrid C-DM will be carried on the Fengyun mass production model.

At present, Chery is gradually expanding in the field of new energy. In the field of pure electric, Chery already has many brand layouts of Chery New Energy, Xingtuo, Shortcut and iCAR. With the release of Fengyun series, Chery Group passenger car plate architecture matrix will be further improved. According to the plan, by the end of 2024, Fengyun series will launch a total of six new products. As for the resurrection of Fengyun, it will take more time for Chery to figure out whether it can stand up in the new energy market.
