Chery Company Presented the Fulwin A8 Sedan with a Transparent Body

At the presentation of the novelty for the Chinese press, the sedan was showcased with a body whose outer panels were made of transparent plastic – for presentation and educational purposes. The idea is to show the detailed construction and the extensive use of high-strength steels.

Next to the transparent Fulwin A8, a cross-section of the car's body was demonstrated, as well as a completely ordinary version of the car – this is the Fulwin A8 that went into production and onto the Chinese market.

The new hybrid versions are based on a naturally aspirated 1.5 engine with an output of 102 hp and 125 Nm, working alongside a 204 hp electric motor - resulting in a combined 306 hp and 435 Nm. The transmission is hybrid (DHT), single-speed. Drive is front-wheel. Top speed is 180 km/h.

In the earlier, more expensive versions, the hybrid setup involved a more powerful turbo engine, and the battery had a capacity of 18.6 kWh instead of the current 9.5 kWh. The electric range is now only 70 km, which is half as much as before, but the total driving range has only slightly decreased: 1,310 km compared to 1,400 km. Overall, it's interesting! Especially since the three new versions are sold in China at prices ranging from 79,900 to 93,900 yuan, which is approximately $11,000 to $13,000.
