By the end of the year on November 22, 2019, at Auto Guangzhou, a concept vehicle, called the VX, previewing the brand's flagship SUV was revealed. The production Exeed VX full-size SUV was released in January 2020.{{cite web|url=https://www.autohome.com.cn/advice/202001/960150.html|title=挺实在的大个子 全新星途VX外观实拍|website=Auto Home|date=1 January 2020|accessdate=29 October 2021|language=Chinese}}
In February 2020, it was announced that the Exeed TXL and VX would be sold in the United States by HAAH Automotive Holdings as the Vantas TXL and VX.{{cite web|url=https://www.carscoops.com/2020/02/chery-is-coming-to-america-in-the-form-of-the-vantas-crossover/|title=Chery Is Coming To America In The Form Of The Vantas Crossover|website=Carscoops|first=Michael|last=Gauthier|date=10 February 2020|accessdate=29 October 2021}} These models were planned to be launched in 2021.{{cite web|url=https://www.carscoops.com/2020/02/vantas-releases-preliminary-specs-for-u-s-bound-txl-and-vx-suvs/|title=China’s Vantas Releases Preliminary Specs For U.S.-Bound TXL and VX SUVs|website=Carscoops|first=Dan|last=Mihalascu|date=20 February 2020|accessdate=29 October 2021}} In April 2021, the Vantas brand release date was pushed back to 2022 and it was announced that the first models would be exported from China to the United States.{{cite web|url=https://www.carscoops.com/2021/04/vantas-launch-pushed-back-to-late-2022-first-models-to-be-built-in-china/|title=Vantas Launch Pushed Back To Late 2022, First Models To Be Built In China|website=Carscoops|first=Michael|last=Gauthier|date=21 April 2021|accessdate=29 October 2021}} However, later in July, HAAH filed for bankruptcy and the plans for Vantas and the company's other entry-level brand, T-GO, which planned to sell the second-gen Chery Tiggo 7, were abandoned.{{cite web|url=https://www.carscoops.com/2021/07/haah-automotive-goes-bust-abandons-plans-to-import-chery-based-models/|title=HAAH Automotive Goes Bust, Abandons Plans To Import Chinese Cars To America|website=Carscoops|first=Michael|last=Gauthier|date=19 July 2021|accessdate=29 October 2021}}
