Chery and Huawei Unveil Smart Crossover with Retractable Handles and Self-Driving Driving System
Chery, through its Jetour division, will release the Dasheng crossover, which is based on the new Kunlun platform, as well as smart systems from Huawei. The novelty should go on sale in the third quarter of 2022.
The front of the Jetour Dasheng is adorned with two-tier optics and a frameless grille. It also received unusual daytime running lights that evoke associations with the new Hyundai Tucson, but in Jetour Dasheng this whole system looks much more futuristic.
The car will get large 9-spoke 20-inch wheels, as well as retractable door handles. You can open the car using NFC. That is, the doors will automatically unlock when the owner approaches with a key, a special card or a phone that has been “linked” to the car in advance.
Huawei’s filling will enable Dasheng to provide Level 3 autonomous driving, which allows the car to drive independently in many scenarios. Huawei is already supplying hardware and software for new machines from various Chinese brands.
The Jetour Dasheng will be driven by the Kunpeng e hybrid power plant, which is installed in the Chery Tiggo 8 Plus. It includes a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 156 hp. and two electric motors. The total power is 326 hp. at 565 Nm of torque.

“Duster’s little brother” will be a completely new model – a hybrid or an electric car
Edition L’Automobile, citing its own sources, writes that Dacia is going to release a completely new crossover.
The model should place itself between the 3.73m long Dacia Spring electric hatchback, whose second generation is expected in 2024, and the new Duster, which is about 4.4m long.
It is expected that the new crossover will receive a hybrid powertrain, like the 7-seater Jogger Hybrid. However, the manufacturer can make the power plant completely electric. In any case, Dacia will focus on the market and its budget segment.
Positioned between Spring and Duster, the compact crossover Dacia will have a format that is quite comparable to the Jeep Avenger (4.08 m). But at the same time, the novelty should be much more accessible to buyers.
According to preliminary data, the “little brother of Duster” will appear on the market only in 2026.
The Japanese auto concern Toyota Motor reported on the results of its work last year, which confirmed that the company remains the world leader in the supply of cars.
At the end of 2022, Toyota and its subsidiaries (Daihatsu and Hino) sold 10,483,024 worldwide, which is only 0.1% less than a year earlier.
Volkswagen, the closest pursuer of the Japanese giant, previously reported that the concern sold 8,262,800 cars last year. At the same time, Toyota overtook the competitor in November, when more than 9.5 million cars were sold.
Earlier it became known that China in 2022 ranked third in global car deliveries after Japan and Germany, overtaking the United States and South Korea.
