As new energy vehicles gain popularity across the country, leading automakers are upgrading their traditional internal combustion engine models with advanced smart features to close the gap in user experience compared to electric vehicles. Recognizing that a sizable portion of consumers will still prefer fuel-powered cars, several manufacturers are rolling out new generations of these vehicles with improved core technologies, including intelligent driving systems and sophisticated cockpit interfaces.
Among these, Chery Automobile recently announced its new strategy focused on fuel-powered vehicles and introduced two new models—Tiggo 9X and Tiggo 9—aligned with this approach. The Tiggo 9X features Chery’s Falcon 500 assisted driving system and is notably the first in its class to be equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8255 automotive chip.
Meanwhile, Geely unveiled updated versions of its premium Xingrui and Xingyue L models earlier this year, incorporating integrated artificial intelligence, advanced smart driving capabilities, and the company’s Flyme Auto intelligent cockpit along with the Qianli Haohan H3 assisted driving system.
Despite the rapid growth of electric vehicles, domestic automakers continue to prioritize the traditional fuel vehicle market. Yang Dayong, the newly appointed executive vice president of Changan Automobile Group, mentioned earlier this month that around 35% of consumers still opt for internal combustion engine vehicles, indicating that the company plans to serve this ongoing demand.
Domestic sales of gasoline-powered passenger vehicles increased for the third consecutive month last month, with volume rising 14% year-over-year to reach 902,000 units.
