What is Chery Super Hybrid? The Future of Eco-Friendly Driving

Imagine a hybrid car that not only saves fuel but also delivers impressive speed and power. That’s exactly what Chery’s latest technology offers. Until now, many hybrid car owners felt they had to choose between efficiency and performance. Conventional hybrids were often seen as underpowered when extra strength was needed, while their fuel consumption wasn’t always optimal in every road condition.

Chery answers that challenge with the Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) is a cutting-edge system that combines high thermal efficiency, impressive EV driving range, and responsive acceleration without sacrificing energy efficiency. This system takes the hybrid driving experience to a whole new level.

Through the launch of the all-new TIGGO 8 CSH, Chery delivers an eco-friendly vehicle with zero compromises. Curious about how CSH works and why it outperforms standard hybrids? Let’s dive into the details below.

What is Chery Super Hybrid Technology?

CSH is Chery’s latest innovation, combining the best of Super Hybrid Electric Vehicle (Super HEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV) technologies. This combination allows the electric motor and petrol engine to work seamlessly side by side.

In fact, CSH earned a Guinness World Record by covering 2,369 km on a single refueling and charging session. This achievement reflects Chery’s commitment to building vehicles that are both energy-efficient and high-performing.

Powered by a fifth-generation 1.5L turbo engine and a high-capacity battery, CSH achieves maximum efficiency. According to NEDC MIIT China tests, it delivers up to 76 km per liter, making it one of the most fuel-efficient hybrid systems available in Indonesia today.

The CSH architecture is built on three key components: Dedicated Hybrid Engine (DHE), Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), and Dedicated Hybrid Battery (DHB). Together, they deliver up to 98.5% mechanical efficiency, allowing the vehicle to intelligently and automatically switch between full-electric and hybrid modes depending on driver needs and road conditions.

How Chery Super Hybrid Works: ACTECO Engine & Dual-Motor System

CSH uses Chery’s advanced ACTECO hybrid engine, paired with a large 18 kWh battery. This enables the car to travel 90–100 km on pure electric power alone.

For comfort, Chery has integrated a Dual Hydraulic Mount system to reduce vibrations by up to 30% and a Double Mass Flywheel (DMF) to smooth out excessive torque and minimize engine noise.

This combination creates a hybrid car that’s not only efficient with both fuel and electricity but also provides a smoother and more enjoyable drive, whether for daily commutes or long-distance journeys.

Advantages of CSH Compared to Other Hybrid Engines

After understanding the basic concept of Chery Super Hybrid, the next question is: what makes this technology superior to other hybrid systems? Let’s break down the various advantages that make CSH a worthy contender for the car of the future.

1. Delivers Maximum Thermal Efficiency

The fifth-generation ACTECO engine used in Chery Super Hybrid technology can achieve a thermal efficiency of 44.5%. This figure ranks among the highest in the automotive industry today, meaning fuel combustion is optimized to produce maximum power with minimal consumption.

2. Longer EV Range

Equipped with a high-capacity battery, vehicles with CSH technology can travel up to 90–100 km in full electric mode. This range is far superior to many other hybrid systems, making it ideal for users who are not yet ready to fully switch to an EV.

3. Powerful Performance Without Wasting Energy

CSH combines an engine, transmission, and battery that are specially dedicated for hybrid vehicles, enabling mechanical efficiency of up to 98.5%. This system allows for powerful, responsive acceleration while remaining energy-efficient, delivering a driving experience that is both thrilling and worry-free when it comes to efficiency.

4. Smooth Driving Mode Transitions

The DHT transmission system in CSH automatically manages the switch between EV mode, series hybrid, parallel hybrid, and engine mode seamlessly. As a result, drivers barely notice the transition between driving modes because everything happens smoothly and responsively.

5. Flexible Energy Recharging

Thanks to its regenerative braking system and the ability to recharge the battery via the gasoline engine while driving, vehicles with CSH technology are not overly dependent on external charging stations. This makes CSH more practical compared to plug-in hybrids (PHEVs).

How is CSH Different from Mild Hybrids?

Unlike mild hybrids, which only assist the petrol engine and can’t run on electric power alone, CSH can operate in full-electric mode. With its dual-motor setup, large battery capacity, and high-efficiency hybrid engine, it delivers stronger performance while remaining fuel-efficient. It also automatically switches between full-electric, hybrid, and parallel modes for optimal driving.

Chery Super Hybrid (CSH) is the answer for today’s drivers who seek efficiency, power, and comfort. With fifth-generation hybrid technology, 44.5% thermal efficiency, up to 100 km full-EV range, and advanced in-cabin features, CSH offers an unmatched driving experience. Through the launch of the Chery TIGGO 8 CSH, Chery proves its commitment to delivering eco-friendly vehicles without compromising performance.
