The Exeed Sterra ES, known as the Exeed Exlantix ES outside the Chinese market, is a battery-powered and range-extended full-size sedan produced by Chinese automobile manufacturer Exeed, a premium brand of Chery. Production of the vehicle started in late 2023. The Exeed Sterra ES is a sister model to the Luxeed S7; both models are similar in size and share the same platform.

Overview

Originally codenamed E03, the Exeed Sterra ES was revealed as a prototype in April 2023, at Auto Shanghai with a coefficient of drag of 0.205Cd.[1]

Interior

The interior features both a full LCD instrument panel and a 16 in floating center touchscreen with an AR-HUD digital head-up display, a Bose audio system, and mobile phone wireless charging. The operating system is Huawei's HarmonyOS with an addition of Chery's LION AI system that supports voice control, facial recognition, AR navigation, driving assistance, internet services, and smart home functions, etc.

Specifications

Battery electric

The Sterra ES uses the company's E0X all-electric platform, which supports a 800V high-voltage fast-charging system for higher trim level models and 400V fast-charging system for lower trim level models. The high-voltage fast-charging system can charge up to 150 km of range within 5 minutes of charging time.[3]

The base variant of the Sterra ES uses a single rear motor outputting 185 kW, while higher trims receive a 230 kW motor. Standard variants of the Sterra ES are available with a selection of different batteries including a 60.7kWh BYD-supplied LFP Blade battery with a CLTC range of 550 km, a 66.4kWh battery with a CLTC range of 605 km and is the only option to use a 400-volt platform, a 79.9kWh CATL NMC-LFP hybrid cell chemistry battery with a CLTC range of 720 km and power consumption of 11.7kWh/100km,[3] and a 97.7kWh CATL sourced NMC battery with a CLTC range of 905 km for the long range top trim level.[4][3]

The top-level dual motor performance variant of the Sterra ES was first launched in December 2023, which uses a 123 kW front motor and 230 kW motor in the rear powered by CATL's NMC-LFP hybrid cell chemistry batteries, achieving a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time below 3.8 seconds. The higher trim levels of the Sterra ES are also equipped with air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping system, as well as an interactive signal display under the headlamps.[5][6]

Range extender

A range-extender version of the ES was introduced in 2025 with two variants. They both use a 1.5-litre turbocharged direct-injected all-aluminium inline-four petrol engine using the Miller cycle and with a compression ratio of 14.5:1, achieving a claimed 44.5% peak thermal efficiency. It outputs 115 kW at 5,200rpm and 220 Nm of torque at 2,500–4,000rpm, and does not mechanically drive the wheels.[7]

Power is supplied by a choice of two Gotion-supplied LFP batteries, a 34.7kWh pack for rear-wheel drive models and a 41.2kWh pack for all-wheel drive models. The latter is capable of 2.4C DC charging with a peak power of 107kW allowing for a 20–80% charging time of 17.5 minutes. All variants have an electric CLTC range rating of 205 km, with rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models capable of 1645 km and 1570 km of total range, respectively.[7]
