The Exeed TX (codeproject M31T) is a mid-size CUV produced by Exeed a subsidiary of the Chery brand. [1]
The vehicle debuted at International Motor Show Germany in September 2017 in Frankfurt in pre-production form. [2] The vehicle is based on the M3X platform developed by Chery with Magna International.
At the 2019 Shanghai International Auto Show, Chery showed off the production version of the TX under the new Exeed brand. Unlike the vehicle shown in Frankfurt, this version features no Chery branding whatsoever, instead featuring a larger grill and the Exeed name written out. Alongside the standard TX, Exeed also showed off the TXL which is a 7-passenger 3-row version of the standard TX. Other than the length and wheelbase, nothing else has fundamentally changed between it and the standard TX. Production start on 24 January 2019. [3]
The Exeed TX and TXL is both powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine meeting the China VI (CN-6) emission standards. The Exeed TX is available in three models equipped with a 1.6 litre turbocharged direct injection engine producing 145 kW (194 hp; 197 PS) and peak torque of 290 N⋅m (214 lb⋅ft; 30 kg⋅m), mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Additionally, the top of the trim TX Platinum version is equipped with a all-wheel drive system. The fuel consumption is 6.8 L/100 km (42 mpg‑imp; 35 mpg‑US) for front-wheel drive and 7.4 L/100 km (38 mpg‑imp; 32 mpg‑US) for all-wheel drive, claimed by officials. [4]
The Exeed TXL received a facelift for the 2021 model year. In comparison with the model it replaces, the restyled TXL gained a redesigned bumper with a grid formed by horizontal bars in body color. Additionally, restyled LED daytime running lights are positioned vertically and the redesigned air intake is positioned the bottom. The rear end received refurbished deflectors, reworked fenders and minor changes to the inside of the tail lamps. The interior changes include redesigned IP with digital screens both in the instrument panel and in the multimedia center console integrated forming a single unit.
Mechanically, the Exeed TXL facelift still uses the same powertrain as the pre-facelift model. Powering the crossover is a 1.6-litre direct-injection petrol engine, producing 194 hp (145 kW; 197 PS) of power and 29.6 kg⋅m (290 N⋅m; 214 lb⋅ft) of torque. The gearbox is an automated seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. [5] A 2.0-litre direct-injection petrol engine producing 257 hp (192 kW; 261 PS) of power and 40.8 kg⋅m (400 N⋅m; 295 lb⋅ft) of torque was later added to the product line. [6]
As of early August 2021 the Exeed TXL was announced with an additional Chinese name called the Lingyun (凌云). [7]
Under the name Vantas TX/TXL, the Exeed TX was planned to be the first Chery vehicle sold in North America starting in 2021 for the 2022 model year. Production was to take place in knock-down kit form in the United States at a not-yet-determined location. About 50% of the content would be made in China; the rest would come from North American suppliers. Chery planned a full assembly plant in the US for Vantas vehicles when sales increases. In April 2021, it was announced that the first model would begin production in 2022. [8]
HAAH Automobile Holdings would act as Chery’s US distributor for the Vantas brand, specific to North America. However, the Chery brand cannot be used in the United States or Canada as General Motors citing that the Chery brand is too close to Chevrolet and its longtime Chevy nickname.[ citation needed ]
In July 2021, HAAH filed for bankruptcy and plans to sell the Vantas brand in North America were scrapped. [9]
