December 15th, EXEED debuted its cutting-edge REEV technology at a launch event in Beijing, revealing its premium EXLANTIX series of new energy vehicles. This revealing highlighted EXEED’s forward-looking technological leadership, with the REEV system demonstrating an exceptional combination of high performance and energy efficiency. Achieving a thermal efficiency exceeding 44.5% and an industry-leading oil-to-electricity conversion rate of 3.7 kWh/L, the REEV technology sets a new benchmark for excellence in the global automotive sector.
Additionally, May 7th, the two-wheel-drive variant of the ET REEV successfully completed an impressive range endurance test, covering 2141.5 kilometers with a full fuel tank and a fully charged battery. This achievement also marks the first instance in the industry of a vehicle successfully undergoing and passing a high-altitude drop collision test from a height of 31.9 meters.
During the event, prominent automotive media representatives from Eastern Europe and the Middle East conducted test drives of the ET REEV four-wheel-drive variant, which is equipped with this advanced technology. The empirical assessments highlighted the vehicle's outstanding performance, particularly its acceleration capability, achieving 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, which was highly commended by the media representatives.
44.5% Thermal Efficiency + 3.7 kWh/L Fuel-to-Electric Conversion Rate: Advancing the Energy Efficiency Revolution
As explained by Dr. Gao Xinhua, Director of the Automotive Engineering Technology Research Institute, the EXEED REEV System utilizes an innovative configuration that integrates both a generator and a drive motor. The system is powered by an independently developed fifth-generation high-performance range-extender engine, achieving a thermal efficiency exceeding 44.5%. The core components, including the range extender and drive motor, exhibit transmission efficiencies surpassing 98.5%, setting a new benchmark not only within the same vehicle class but also positioning EXEED as a global leader in transmission efficiency. These exceptional thermal and transmission efficiencies enable vehicles equipped with the EXEED REEV Technology to achieve an impressive fuel-to-electric conversion rate of 3.7 kWh per liter of fuel, optimizing energy use to its fullest potential. Additionally, the system is paired with a high-performance range-extending battery that supports rapid charging, with the ability to charge from 20% to 80% SOC in just 17.5 minutes. The dual effects of “energy savings”and “energy expansion” effectively eliminate range anxiety, ensuring an optimal user experience.
0-100 km/h in 4.8 Seconds: Sustained Dynamic Power Performance
Achieving an exceptional driving experience requires more than just superior energy efficiency; dynamic performance is also a critical factor. The EXEED REEV System is engineered to deliver a total output power of 345 kW and a peak torque of an impressive of 7,400 Nm. The system's performance is further enhanced by the high efficiency and high power characteristics of its integrated range-extender engine, dedicated generator, and drive motor, ensuring a robust balance between energy consumption and performance. This advanced powertrain configuration enables the vehicle to maintain stable performance across a variety of complex driving conditions while delivering outstanding acceleration capabilities. Specifically, the ET REEV four-wheel-drive variant achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.8 seconds when fully charged, offering a driving experience comparable to that of pure electric vehicles.
All-Scene Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive: Maximizing Driving Performance Across Diverse Conditions
The EXEED REEV System is further augmented by an all-scene intelligent four-wheel drive (4WD) system, which incorporates advanced technologies such as the IAS intelligent air suspension and the CDC damping system. These components enable precise, millisecond-level adjustments to suspension damping, thereby ensuring optimal vehicle stability and comfort across a wide array of complex road conditions.
The system's intelligent torque vectoring control allows for dynamic 0-100% front-to-rear axle torque distribution, ensuring efficient utilization of power across all driving scenarios. Moreover, the EXEED 4WD system offers up to seven distinct driving modes, including specialized settings for sand and snow, which are designed to enhance vehicle performance in challenging environments. This comprehensive suite of features enables the vehicle to deliver an exceptional driving experience, regardless of terrain, while maintaining superior handling and safety.
Following his test drive of the ET REEV four-wheel-drive variant, renowned Qatari automotive Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Jaber Al Malki expressed strong approval of the vehicle's remarkable performance. He remarked, "the vehicle delivers a perfect blend of speed and passion in the driving experience. The luxurious interior and meticulous craftsmanship further enhance the overall impression, with every detail underscoring a dedicated pursuit of quality."
Global Five-Star Standards: Advancing Safety with Robust Protection Mechanisms
Safety remains a primary focus for EXEED. As the first new energy vehicle brand in the industry to implement a six-dimensional electric safety system, the EXEED REEV Technology is paired with the Kunpeng battery, which has undergone comprehensive and rigorous reliability assessments. These include 100,000 kilometers of road testing, 39 hours of vibration testing, and 48 hours of water immersion validation, all of which confirm the battery’s outstanding durability and safety performance. In terms of passive safety, every EXEED range-extending model is designed in strict compliance with global five-star safety standards. The vehicle’s structure body incorporates 88% high-strength steel and aluminum, significantly enhancing the rigidity and crash resistance of the body.
It is reported that the EXLANTIX high-end new energy series is set to be launched in several international markets, including Eastern Europe, the United Arab Emirates, and Norway, starting in the first half of next year. This rollout will provide consumers in these regions with the opportunity to experience a range of new energy vehicles equipped with REEV technology, an advanced four-wheel drive system, and superior safety features. The expansion of REEV technology marks a significant step in EXEED's strategy to establish a strong presence in global markets, further advancing the brand's development and positioning it toward achieving recognition as a world-class luxury automotive brand.
