Exeed LX: a compact crossover and what to check
Exeed LX — a compact five-door crossover introduced around 2019. We take a look at what makes it special, the engines used, and what to check if you're considering buying one.
Exeed LX in brief
LX is the Exeed brand model. It's a crossover around 4.5 meters long, aimed at buyers wanting a more modern look and more features than basic Chery models.
The model is not officially sold in Lithuania, so it's a private import from other markets where the LX is officially sold, such as Russia or China.
What stands out
The LX stands out with an expressive front end featuring narrow headlights and a wide grille pattern. The interior is much more modern than basic Chery models, and the features are plentiful.
Drawbacks include parts availability, servicing issues, and unknown long-term reliability, as the model is relatively new.
Engines and gearboxes
The LX is most often equipped with a turbocharged petrol engine — 1.5 l or 1.6 l. Power ranges roughly from 150 to 200 hp.
The gearbox is a dual-clutch automated manual (DCT) or, in some cases, a manual. Drive is to the front wheels or, in some versions, all wheels.
What to check when buying an Exeed LX
Firstly, the paperwork and whether the car can be registered in the EU. Find out where you'll get parts and qualified servicing.
Test the DCT gearbox — it should shift smoothly and quietly. Check the turbo engine, suspension, and body condition.
There are plenty of electronic features, so check out the screens, cameras, and parking sensors.
