Chery Exeed EX7 REEV's design patent has been officially registered in India.

Chinese manufacturer, Chery has registered a design patent for their Exeed EX7 REEV (Range Extender Electric Vehicle). This has been reported after the Chery Exeed Exlantix ET was being recently spied testing on the Indian roads, thus suggesting JSW-Chery's plans for introducing their SUV for the Indian market. 

The model comes with a range extender technology, where the combustion engine does not provide power to the wheels directly, instead it generates electricity to charge the battery, which then transfers power to the electric motor. 

Exeed EX7 REEV Design & Features

Visually, the Exeed EX7 REEV comes with a boxy design equipped with squared-off headlight housing, a closed-off front grille and open air-vents. The SUV also features flush door handles, roof rails, and alloy wheels. 

However, the alloy-wheel size can range from 19 to 21-inch wheels, depending on the variant. The Exeed EX7 REEV is also expected to come with a LiDAR sensor as a part of its ADAS safety suite. 

FEATURES

• The electric SUV will come with an all-LED lighting package, which adds to the vehicle’s modern design language. The cabin also features technology-focussed heavy themes, with multiple displays presented on the dashboard. 
• The driver also gets a dedicated digital instrument cluster along with the addition of a heads-up display, while at the center of the cabin is a substantial 30-inch 6K-resolution infotainment screen that stretches to the front passenger side. 
• Other features include a 50W wireless smartphone charging pad, 60W USB Type-C charging ports, a 23-speaker audio system and leatherette upholstery.
