Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 05:02 · Archive

Chery's Luxeed luxury brand will arrive in Australia in the second quarter of 2027, with the LLounge people mover as the first model. Shawn Xu, CEO of Omoda & Jaecoo International, confirmed the plans at Luxeed's global launch in Wuhu, China, on 21 October. The Luxeed Stormax electric SUV will follow, though an Australian arrival date has not been announced.

Australian pricing and final specifications remain unannounced. The LLounge is the export counterpart to China's Luxeed V9, which measures 5359mm long with a 3250mm wheelbase—204mm longer than a Kia Carnival. The Chinese V9 offers seven seats in a 2+2+3 layout and a range-extended electric powertrain with a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine and 53.4kWh battery.

Luxeed is the second Chery brand confirmed for Australia this month, following Exlantix. Luxeed and Exlantix join Freelander, iCaur and Jetour on the list of Chery Group brands preparing to enter the Australian market, with Lepas due before the end of the year. These brands will supplement the existing Chery and Omoda Jaecoo brands already operating in Australia.
