Exeed Yaoguang

Among the 21 Chery Automobile entries in the MotorJury library, the Exeed Yaoguang holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2022. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Exeed Yaoguang properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2020s were the current era, in which battery-electric platforms, software-defined cars and China's rise as the world's largest producer are rewriting a century of industry order. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Nissan Nissan Z, the Kia Kia EV6, the Tesla Tesla Cybertruck — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Exeed Yaoguang reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 2.0 L Chery ACTECO engine / Acteco F4J20C Straight-four engine / I4 Turbocharger / turbo / Petrol-plug-in hybrid: / 1.5 L Chery ACTECO engine / ; quoted output is 195 kW (261 hp; 265 PS) (Petrol) / 449 kW (601 hp; 610 PS) (C-DM PHEV); kerb weight is recorded at 2270 kg; drive goes through 7-speed Dual-clutch transmission / DCT / 3-speed DHT; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout / Front-engine, front-wheel drive / Front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout / Front-engine, all-wheel drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 86 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Chery Automobile story

Within Chery Automobile's own catalogue the Exeed Yaoguang sits alongside the Cowin C3, the Cowin X3, the Exeed LX, the Exeed Sterra ES. The record names the successor = as its predecessor and the model_code = M38T as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to class = Mid-size crossover SUV. Assembly is recorded at China: Qingdao, Shandong / Malaysia: Shah Alam, Selangor / Iran: Bam, Iran / Bam, Kerman Province (Modiran Vehicle Manufacturing Company / MVM).

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Exeed Yaoguang was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
