Chery Exeed TX: the first Exeed crossover, engines and trims
Exeed TX — a mid-size crossover that marked Chery's entry into the premium Exeed brand. It later became known as the TXL. We look at its versions, engines and what to know before buying.
Exeed TX in brief
The Exeed TX was the first premium Exeed model, launched in 2018. It's a five-door mid-size crossover with a spacious interior, plenty of digital features and more kit than standard Chery models.
In some markets, such as Russia, the model is sold as the Exeed TXL. It's rarely seen in Lithuania, usually as an imported car.
Updates — what's changed
The first generation appeared in 2018–2019. The model was later updated with a new front end, headlights and interior details. Updated cars look more modern and come with more equipment.
When choosing a used Exeed TX, opt for the updated version (TXL facelift), as it features newer multimedia and driver assistance systems.
Engines and gearboxes
The model uses turbocharged petrol engines: mostly 1.6-litre, and 2.0-litre in some markets. Power varies depending on the engine and trim, so check the specific car's documents for accurate details.
The gearbox is usually a dual-clutch automatic (robotised). There are both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions.
What to check when buying an Exeed TX
Since this isn't an official model for the Lithuanian market, ensure all paperwork is in order and the car can be registered. Check if you have access to software updates and language settings.
Test the dual-clutch gearbox (especially at low speeds) and the turbo engine's performance. Inspect the body and suspension. Note the availability of parts — some may need to be ordered from abroad.
