Exeed VX: a large seven-seater crossover and what to know
Exeed VX — the large crossover from Chery's Exeed brand, launched around 2019. We look at what makes it special, its mechanics, and what to check if you're considering buying such a car.
Exeed VX in brief
The VX is the largest crossover in the Exeed family, around 4.9m long, with three rows of seats. This model is aimed at families needing space and buyers seeking something more premium than a typical Chery.
In China, the VX is sold as the Exeed Lanyue. It's not officially available in Europe, so it's rare in Lithuania — usually a private import from other markets where the model is officially sold.
What stands out
The VX boasts large screens, generous equipment, and a striking exterior with a wide front grille. Interior materials are decently quality, and the amount of kit often outshines rivals at a similar price point.
Downsides include pricier servicing and parts availability outside of China or Russia, plus an unknown long-term reliability, as the model is relatively new.
Engines and gearboxes
The VX is typically equipped with a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, producing around 250hp. That's plenty for such a large car, and acceleration is brisk enough.
The gearbox is a dual-clutch automatic (DCT). Both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are offered.
What to check when buying an Exeed VX
First and foremost — documentation and ensuring the car can be registered in the EU. Check where you'll get parts and qualified servicing.
Test the DCT gearbox — it should shift smoothly and change gears without any juddering. Check the turbo engine (oil condition, external noises), suspension and body condition.
There are plenty of electronic features, so check that the screens, cameras, parking sensors and other systems are working.
