Chery has showcased the Fulwin A9 Wagon at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, expanding its EV portfolio with a new body style. Based on the A9 electric sedan, the wagon version adopts a shooting-brake design, aiming to combine practicality with performance.
This move marks Chery’s entry into the emerging electric wagon segment, currently seeing limited but growing competition.

The Fulwin A9 Wagon retains the overall design language of the sedan but adds an extended rear section for improved cargo space.
- Wheelbase: 2,900 mm
- Estimated length: approximately 4.95 meters
- Shooting-brake style rear profile
- Sedan-like front design with similar headlamp setup
The design focuses on blending utility with a sleek, premium appearance.
800V Platform And Expected Pricing
Built on Chery’s 800V electric architecture, the A9 Wagon shares its underpinnings with the sedan version.
While official pricing has not been announced, market estimates suggest a price range of:
- 180,000 to 250,000 yuan (approx. $25,000–$34,700)
The model is currently in concept form, with a potential production timeline around 2027, depending on market response.

These features allow adaptive ride height and driving dynamics.

Expanding EV Body Styles
The A9 Wagon builds on the Fulwin A9 sedan, which was earlier showcased at the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show.
With this model, Chery is exploring new EV formats beyond traditional sedans and SUVs, entering a niche currently occupied by models like electric touring wagons.
Market Context
Sales data indicates that smaller Fulwin models like the A8 have seen a decline in recent quarters. However, Chery continues to expand its lineup with new offerings like the A9 Wagon to strengthen its EV portfolio.
This strategy reflects a broader industry trend, where automakers are diversifying EV body styles to attract a wider range of customers.
