New Partnership between Huawei and Chery Unveils Exciting Future for the Chinese Automotive Market
A recent partnership agreement between Huawei and Chery Automobile has been announced, marking an exciting development in the Chinese automotive market. According to reliable sources, the collaboration will utilize a smart selection mode when purchasing models from Chery Automobile.
The newly formed brand name, "尚界" (Sihan), is believed to be targeting the younger demographic. The first Sihan model is expected to be launched within the mid-2025 timeframe, with a price range of approximately 17-25 million CNY and based off the Flying Falcon F7's original design.
The Flying Falcon brand currently offers two models in the market: the F7 priced between 18.99-30.99 yuan, and R7 priced between 18.99-38.49 yuan. Additionally, there is also an unpublished RC7 model by Flying Falcon that has yet to hit the market.
Initially planned as the ES37 for cooperation with Chery Automobile, ES39 was modified to become the original prototype model after Huawei had reservations regarding its suitability, and ultimately decided to use it with a new internal codename RH-A.

Regarding the potential fate of Flying Falcon products, according to existing plans by Chery Group, the ES39 should be an electric-powered luxury SUV running on Star Cloud Pure Electric platform. However, speculations suggest that under the new internal coding (RH-A), a potentially compact model may emerge, filling an existing void in Chery's lineup.
While more details need waiting for official confirmation from the parties involved, this collaboration has generated great attention within the automotive industry, and we will continue to monitor updates on this exciting story.
