Specifications

= Battery electric =

The Sterra ES uses the company's E0X all-electric platform, which supports a 800V high-voltage fast-charging system for higher trim level models and 400V fast-charging system for lower trim level models. The high-voltage fast-charging system can charge up to {{Convert|150|km|mi}} of range within 5 minutes of charging time.{{cite web|url=https://carnewschina.com/2023/08/18/cherys-all-electric-exeed-sterra-es-sedan-with-catl-battery-and-720-km-range-officially-unveiled-in-china/|title=Chery's all-electric Exeed Sterra ES sedan with CATL battery and 720 km range officially unveiled in China|website=CarNewsChina|first=Dong Yi|last=Chen|date=18 August 2023|accessdate=1 February 2024}}

The base variant of the Sterra ES uses a single rear motor outputting {{convert|185|kW|hp PS|abbr=on}}, while higher trims receive a {{convert|230.|kW|hp PS|abbr=on}} motor. Standard variants of the Sterra ES are available with a selection of different batteries including a 60.7{{Nbsp}}kWh BYD-supplied LFP Blade battery with a CLTC range of {{Convert|550.|km|mi|abbr=unit}}, a 66.4{{Nbsp}}kWh battery with a CLTC range of {{Convert|605|km|mi|abbr=unit}} and is the only option to use a 400-volt platform, a 79.9{{Nbsp}}kWh CATL NMC-LFP hybrid cell chemistry battery with a CLTC range of {{Convert|720.|km|mi|abbr=unit}} and power consumption of 11.7{{Nbsp}}kWh/100{{Nbsp}}km, and a 97.7{{Nbsp}}kWh CATL sourced NMC battery with a CLTC range of {{cvt|905|km|mi}} for the long range top trim level.{{cite web |last=Zhang |first=Phate |date=8 January 2023 |title=Chery's Exeed brand rolls out new variant for Sterra ES, lowers starting price by $3,770 |url=https://cnevpost.com/2024/01/08/exeed-new-variant-sterra-es-lowers-price/ |accessdate=1 February 2024 |website=cnevpost.com}}

The top-level dual motor performance variant of the Sterra ES was first launched in December 2023, which uses a {{convert|123|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}} front motor and {{convert|230|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}} motor in the rear powered by CATL's NMC-LFP hybrid cell chemistry batteries, achieving a 0 to {{Convert|100.|km/h|mph|abbr=unit}} acceleration time below 3.8 seconds. The higher trim levels of the Sterra ES are also equipped with air suspension and CDC electromagnetic damping system, as well as an interactive signal display under the headlamps.{{cite web|url=https://cnevpost.com/2023/12/21/chery-exeed-launches-sterra-es/|title=Chery's Exeed brand launches 1st electric sedan with CLTC range of up to 905 km|website=cnevpost.com|first=Kang|last=Lei|date=21 December 2023|accessdate=1 February 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://www.electrive.com/2023/12/21/chery-brand-exeed-launches-electric-saloon-in-china/|title=Chery brand Exeed launches electric saloon in China|website=electrive.com|first=Carla|last=Westerheide|date=21 December 2023|accessdate=1 February 2024}}

== 2025 update ==

In August 2024 for the 2025 model year, the Sterra ES had its powertrain updated with specifications similar to the Sterra ET. All pure electric versions now use an 800-volt electrical architecture, and the battery have been slimmed down to new two options. The standard battery is a 77{{Nbsp}}kWh LFP pack supplied by CATL with a peak DC charging power of 420{{Nbsp}}kW, allowing for a 30–80% DC charging time of nine minutes. It can be paired with the previously used {{convert|230.|kW|hp PS|abbr=on}} single-motor rear-wheel drive or {{convert|353|kW|hp PS|abbr=on}} dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations. The top trim is available with a 100{{Nbsp}}kWh CATL-supplied NMC pack with a peak DC charging power of 297{{Nbsp}}kW, and is available exclusively with the all-wheel drive powertrain.{{Cite web |last=Chen |first=Dong Yi |date=2024-07-19 |title=2025 Exeed Exlantix ES all-electric sedan pre-sale starts in China |url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/07/19/2025-exeed-exlantix-es-all-electric-sedan-pre-sale-starts-at-27500-usd/ |access-date=2025-03-31 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}

= Range extender =

A range-extender version of the ES was introduced in 2025 with two variants. They both use a 1.5-litre turbocharged direct-injected all-aluminium inline-four petrol engine using the Miller cycle and with a compression ratio of 14.5:1, achieving a claimed 44.5% peak thermal efficiency. It outputs {{Convert|115|kW|hp PS|abbr=unit}} at 5,200{{Nbsp}}rpm and {{Convert|220.|Nm|lbft|abbr=unit}} of torque at 2,500–4,000{{Nbsp}}rpm, and does not mechanically drive the wheels.{{Cite web |last=Chen |first=Dong Yi |date=2025-02-19 |title=Chery's Exeed Exlantix ES EREV with 1,645 km range opened pre-sales starting at 22,400 USD |url=https://carnewschina.com/2025/02/19/cherys-exeed-exlantix-es-erev-with-1645-km-range-opened-pre-sales-starting-at-22400-usd/ |access-date=2025-03-31 |website=CarNewsChina.com |language=en-US}}

Power is supplied by a choice of two Gotion-supplied LFP batteries, a 34.7{{Nbsp}}kWh pack for rear-wheel drive models and a 41.2{{Nbsp}}kWh pack for all-wheel drive models. The latter is capable of 2.4C DC charging with a peak power of 107{{Nbsp}}kW allowing for a 20–80% charging time of 17.5 minutes. All variants have an electric CLTC range rating of {{Convert|205|km|mi|abbr=unit}}, with rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models capable of {{Convert|1645|km|mi|abbr=unit}} and {{Convert|1570|km|mi|abbr=unit}} of total range, respectively.
