Meet the Future: Chery Super Hybrid Technology

 

Imagine gliding down the open road with the quiet confidence of a whisper and the assured punch of a heartbeat. That’s the everyday magic that Chery’s Super Hybrid technology brings to life. This isn’t just another set of letters on a spec sheet. It’s a statement about what driving can be—cleaner, smarter, more intuitive, and unapologetically enjoyable. Welcome to the new era of hybrid mobility.

Vision Meets Engineering

In an age where electrification isn’t just a trend but a responsibility, Chery stepped up with a solution that balances real-world performance with tomorrow-ready efficiency. The Super Hybrid system blends a high-efficiency petrol engine with a robust electric motor and clever energy management to create a powertrain that’s both spirited and sensible.

Think of it as the best of both worlds: electric motor smoothness for everyday driving and combustion engine stamina for wherever the road leads.

The Brains Under the Bonnet

At the heart of Super Hybrid is a next-generation 1.5-litre TGDI (Turbocharged Gasoline Direct Injection) engine. It boasts industry-leading thermal efficiency of around 44.5%, meaning more fuel goes toward moving you forward and less gets wasted as heat.

Paired with this is Chery’s Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT). Imagine a conductor orchestrating a duet between engine and electric motor so seamlessly you never notice the transition. That’s what DHT does, delivering almost uninterrupted power with mechanical efficiency up to 98.5%.

But it’s not just how powerful it is—it's how smart it feels. The system automatically picks the most efficient mode—EV for city runs, hybrid for longer drives, or petrol only when truly needed—providing a refined driving experience without driver intervention.

Electric Freedom Without the Chains

One of the standout features of Super Hybrid is its impressive pure-electric range. With an 18-20 kWh class battery, many Super Hybrid models can cruise up to about 90 kilometres on electric power alone—perfect for daily commutes or quiet evening errands.

And if you’re on a long trip? Forget range anxiety. A single tank plus the hybrid system’s efficiency can take you well past the 1,200 km mark—where city meets country without a second thought.

Charging is flexible too: plug in at home or at a DC fast charger, where you can go from ~30 % to ~80 % battery in around 20 minutes.

Everyday Comfort, Everyday Value

Efficiency isn’t just numbers on a brochure. It’s the smooth rollout from traffic lights with near-silent electric torque. It’s the regenerative braking that captures wasted energy. It’s the clever blending of power sources so you feel more in tune with the road, not overwhelmed by technology.

In real-world driving, that equates to lower fuel bills, reduced emissions, and an ownership experience that feels surprisingly luxurious for what you pay. That’s the essence of Super Hybrid—efficiency with soul.

 

In short: Super Hybrid isn’t about choosing between electric or petrol. It’s about letting them work together in harmony—intuitively, efficiently, and with drive-time pleasure at the forefront. Whether you’re hauling the family, tackling traffic, or cruising long distances, this is hybrid technology that feels like progress in motion.

 

 

Chery Super Hybrid Technology FAQs

What is Chery Super Hybrid technology?

Chery Super Hybrid is an advanced hybrid powertrain that combines a high-efficiency turbo petrol engine, a powerful electric motor, and a dedicated hybrid transmission. The system intelligently switches between electric, hybrid, and petrol driving to deliver strong performance, excellent fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions without compromising driving comfort.

Is Chery Super Hybrid the same as a plug-in hybrid?

Yes. Chery Super Hybrid vehicles are plug-in hybrids (PHEVs). This means you can charge the battery using a home charger or public charging station and drive on electric power alone for everyday trips, while still having a petrol engine for longer journeys.

How far can a Chery Super Hybrid drive on electric power?

Depending on the model and driving conditions, Chery Super Hybrid vehicles can travel up to approximately 90 kilometres on pure electric power. This makes them ideal for daily commuting and short trips without using any fuel.

Do I need to charge a Chery Super Hybrid?

Charging is recommended to get the most benefit from the electric driving range, but it’s not essential. If the battery is low, the vehicle will continue to operate efficiently using the petrol engine and hybrid system, so you’re never left stranded.

How fuel-efficient is Chery Super Hybrid technology?

Chery Super Hybrid technology is designed to significantly reduce fuel consumption compared to traditional petrol vehicles. With intelligent energy management and regenerative braking, it delivers excellent real-world efficiency, especially in city driving where electric power is used most.

How long does it take to charge a Chery Super Hybrid?

Charging times vary depending on the charger used. With DC fast charging, the battery can typically charge from around 30% to 80% in approximately 20 minutes. Home charging overnight is ideal for everyday use.

Is Chery Super Hybrid good for long-distance driving?

Yes. Chery Super Hybrid vehicles are designed for both city and long-distance driving. With the combined range of the electric motor and petrol engine, total driving range can exceed 1,200 kilometres, making them perfect for road trips.

Are Chery Super Hybrid vehicles reliable?

Chery Super Hybrid technology has been engineered for durability and everyday Australian driving conditions. The system is designed to reduce engine load, which can help minimise wear over time while delivering a smooth and refined driving experience.

Can I test drive a Chery Super Hybrid vehicle at Sinclair Chery?
