Chery introduced its "Falcon" smart driving system, which will be implemented across all of the group's brands and models in 2025. The system consists of three tiers: Falcon 500, an end-to-end large model-based integrated driving and parking system supporting highway NOA, urban memory navigation, and automated parking; Falcon 700, featuring enhanced computing power for seamless full-scenario navigation, including valet parking and spot-to-spot smart driving; and Falcon 900, an L3 system utilizing VLA and world model for advanced autonomous driving.

Expanding beyond vehicles, Chery is investing in future mobility solutions such as robotic automation, flying cars, Robotaxi services, and unmanned buses.

By the end of 2025, over 30 vehicle models across all powertrains (internal combution engine, hybrid, range-extended, and all-electric) will feature Falcon smart driving system, with global market deployment also in progress.

The Chery Little Ant (eQ1) Smart Driving Edition, priced at around 60,000 yuan, will set a new benchmark for affordable smart driving, offering 23 intelligent driving features, including automatic and remote parking, as well as highway NOA.

Chery's global user base has surpassed 16 million across over 100 countries. To meet diverse market demands, Chery is developing region-specific smart driving solutions, such as handling European roundabouts, Middle Eastern desert highways, and Southeast Asian high-density motorcycle traffic.

With dual EU certifications for cybersecurity and software updates, Chery’s smart driving system has accumulated over 4.5 billion kilometers in overseas operating distance. By 2026, Chery plans to introduce advanced intelligent driving models in Europe, accelerating the globalization of Chinese smart driving technology.
