What is Chery Super Hybrid?

Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) technology is now backed by one of the greatest British athletes of all time. Sir Mo Farah CBE, four time Olympic gold medallist and one of the most celebrated endurance athletes in history, is the face of Chery's latest UK campaign, "Go Like Mo", bringing the story of CSH technology to drivers across the country.

The partnership is built on a simple idea. Sir Mo Farah's career has been defined by consistency, resilience and the ability to perform at the highest level over distance. Those are exactly the same qualities that sit at the heart of Chery Super Hybrid technology. With up to 745 miles of combined driving range on selected models, who better to represent exceptional endurance than a four time gold medallist?

Chery Super Hybrid Explained

Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) is Chery's advanced plug in hybrid powertrain system. It combines a turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor and a rechargeable battery, allowing you to drive on pure electric power for short journeys and switch seamlessly to hybrid mode when you need to go further.

In simple terms, it gives you the smooth, quiet feel of an electric car for everyday driving, with the peace of mind of a petrol engine for longer trips. You get the best of both worlds without having to worry about range.

How Does It Work?

The system is built around three core components that work together.

The Engine

At the heart of CSH sits a 1.5 litre TGDI turbocharged direct injection petrol engine, achieving an impressive 44.5% thermal efficiency. That means more of the fuel's energy is converted into power rather than wasted as heat, making it one of the most efficient engines in production today. Chery has won China's Top Ten Engines award 11 times and holds over 2,000 engine patents.

The Transmission

Chery's Stepless Super Hybrid DHT (Dedicated Hybrid Transmission) achieves an industry leading 98.5% EV transmission efficiency. The three speed system manages the flow of power between the engine, motor and wheels, ensuring smooth, responsive acceleration whether you are pulling away from traffic lights or joining a motorway.

The Battery

A lithium iron phosphate battery powers the electric motor and can be charged from 30 to 80% in as little as 20 minutes using a rapid charger. The battery is IP68 rated, meaning it is dustproof and waterproof, and has been tested in a 1 metre deep water immersion for 48 hours without affecting operation. Chery's unique PSS smart switch technology can disconnect the battery in just 2 milliseconds for added safety.

What Does This Mean for You?

For most drivers, the real world benefits are straightforward. Drive on pure electric power for your daily commute, school runs and local trips with zero fuel cost Switch to hybrid mode for longer journeys with a combined range of up to 745 miles (Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid) Rapid charge from 30 to 80% in around 20 minutes and Low CO2 emissions, meaning lower road tax and potential company car tax savings with an additional smooth, quiet driving that feels closer to an EV than a traditional hybrid
