Exeed TX/TXL:

The Exeed TX or Exeed Lingyun in China is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by Chery under its premium brand Exeed.
The vehicle debuted at International Motor Show Germany in September 2017 in Frankfurt in pre-production form. The vehicle is based on the M3X platform developed by Chery with Magna International.
At the 2019 Shanghai International Auto Show, Chery showed off the production version of the TX under the new Exeed brand. Unlike the vehicle shown in Frankfurt, this version features no Chery branding whatsoever, instead featuring a larger grill and the Exeed name written out. Alongside the standard TX, Exeed also showed off the TXL which is a 7-passenger 3-row version of the standard TX. Other than the length and wheelbase, nothing else has fundamentally changed between it and the standard TX. Production start on 24 January 2019....(Read more on Wikipedia)

1.6T (197 Hp) AWD DCT Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

Maintains the robust 197 Hp output, but the added weight and drivetrain losses of AWD result in a slightly slower 0-100 km/h time of 10.5 seconds.

Fuel Economy

The AWD system slightly increases fuel consumption to 7.4 l/100 km, which is still reasonable for an all-wheel-drive compact SUV.

Best Use Case: All-Weather / Highway
