History
The vehicle debuted at International Motor Show Germany in September 2017 in Frankfurt and is being sold in China since June 2018.[2] The vehicle is based on the M3X platform from Chery.
At the 2019 Shanghai International Auto Show, Chery showed off the Chinese spec models of the TX under the new Exeed brand. Unlike the vehicle shown in Frankfurt, this version features no Chery branding whatsoever, instead featuring a larger grill and the Exeed name written out.
Exeed TXL
Alongside the standard TX, Exeed also showed off the TXL which is a 7-passenger 3-row version of the standard TX. Other than the length and wheelbase, nothing else has fundamentally changed between it and the standard TX.
Vantas TX
Under the name Vantas TX/TXL, the Exeed TX will be the first Chery vehicle sold in North America starting in 2021 for the 2022 model year. Production will take place in knock-down kit form in the United States at a location to be determined. About 50% of the content will be made in China; the rest will come from North American suppliers. Over time, domestic content will increase, and Chery plans a full assembly plant in the US for Vantas vehicles.
HAAH Automobile Holdings will act as Chery’s US distributor for the Vantas brand, specific to North America. The Chery brand cannot be used in the US or Canada as General Motors feels that the Chery brand is too close to Chevrolet and its longtime Chevy nickname.
