On May 10, Star Journey officially started delivery of vehicles. The first batch of a thousand vehicles was delivered at Chimelong in Guangzhou. During the delivery ceremony, Chairman Yin Tongyue of Chery Holding Group arrived and delivered a speech.
Yin Tongyue said that Chery’s achievements today are closely related to every car owner and potential car owner. Without everyone’s support and trust, Chery would be nothing. Yin Tongyue also mentioned that there are no Chery executives or leaders present at the event today. Those who came are all serving our car owners, delivering the first batch of Star Tours ET to our car owners smoothly and happily.
At the scene, many car owners spoke. Lawyer Guo Peijie from Beijing shared his story with Chery. His first car was a Chery QQ, then he switched to a Tiggo 3, and later added a Tiggo 8. The Tiggo 8 has accompanied Mr. Guo for 140,000 kilometers without major issues, showing the quality of Chery cars. As a representative of new energy vehicles, the Star Era ET left a deep impression on Mr. Guo. After test driving it, he placed an order without hesitation and became one of the first owners. Mr. Guo clearly stated that this car will continue to accompany him in creating a new life, bringing more brilliance and joy. Representing post-2000s car owners, Ms. Guo Li from Shanxi shared her car selection story. She first learned about the Star Era ET through a network blogger’s introduction and was deeply attracted by the car’s appearance, interior, materials, technology, and comfort. But her city doesn’t have a Star Journey 4S store, the nearest one is over 100km away. So, trusting Chery and with a friend’s recommendation, she placed an order right away and became one of the first owners. Only when she first entered her beloved car did she completely relax and declare that her choice was not wrong. This is her “dream car”. They say Chery is a “tech guy” car maker, so how can the first owners not be “tech guys” too? Just like Mr. Qing Zhengyi, representing the new generation of “tech guys”, he made a summary speech at the scene. He said that the charm of the Star Journey Star Era ET is irresistible, both in appearance and interior. With just one look, it leaves a deep impression in your mind. As for Chery, Mr. Qing also said without reservation, “I trust and support this state-owned car company very much.” Many people say that joint ventures and imports are the best, but I believe that Chery understands the needs of the Chinese people better. What’s more, Chery has started selling abroad, and the results are very good. This also shows that our own cars are gradually being accepted by the world. So I sincerely hope that Chery can definitely become a global brand, bringing good technology and products to more families in need of them.
Finally, the exciting moment arrived. Chairman Yin Tongyue not only personally handed out car keys to each user, but also presented a signed car model of the Star Era ET and took photos together. This down-to-earth and close interaction moved every car owner, creating a very joyful atmosphere. During the launch event of the Star Era ET, the number of orders was announced. From pre-sale to May 9th, there were over 18,000 orders. After just one night, the number of orders soared to over 22,000 and continued to increase. In our view, the success of the Star Era ET is not a coincidence, but a result of absolute strength. For example, the extended-range version can run 2141.4 kilometers on full gas and electricity. It achieved a 31.9-meter high-altitude drop test without catching fire or smoking, with the door handles popping out instantly and all four doors opening normally. Many competitors cannot match these features, not to mention the pure electric version of the Star Era ET, providing consumers with more choices. Will you be the next owner of the Star Era ET?
