A lidar sensor is also equipped above the front, indicating its robust intelligent driving hardware foundation.

Stepping inside, the EXEED ET5 creates a cabin environment that combines a sense of technology with a warm atmosphere.

These three screens support three-finger swipe operation, enabling cross-screen information sharing. The entire vehicle system is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8255 chip, ensuring extremely smooth operation and rapid response.
Interior and Layout: The vehicle features a gray and white two-tone interior scheme with blue elements. The materials used are solid, with soft-touch materials covering most surfaces, creating a simple and homey style. The steering wheel features a two-spoke design, with the upper half hollowed out to avoid obstructing the instrument panel. The gearshift mechanism is a column shifter, saving space in the center console area.
Comfort and Convenience Features: Both front seats are equipped with three levels of ventilation, heating, and massage functions. The passenger seat even features a "Queen's Seat" mode with adjustable leg rests.

Intelligent technology is one of the core competitive advantages of the EXEED ET5.
Hardware Core: This new car is the first model resulting from the collaboration between the CHERY Group and Horizon Robotics. It utilizes Horizon Robotics' HSD and Journey 6P assisted driving solutions as its computing core, boasting a computing power of 640 TOPS. It also features LiDAR, 12 radars, and multiple high-definition cameras, constructing a powerful perception system.
System Capabilities: This driver assistance system, named "Falcon 700," is the first domestically developed human-like, end-to-end architecture applied to mainstream family vehicles. It supports various functions including city driving, highway navigation, and intelligent parking assistance in all scenarios.
For family users, interior space is crucial.
Passenger Space: Thanks to its 2800mm wheelbase, rear passengers enjoy ample legroom, easily crossing their legs without any problem. The front seats also feature a "boss button" for rear passengers to adjust their seating position.
Detailed Design: In addition to providing a comfortable ride, the rear seats thoughtfully include small hooks for hanging items. Fast charging ports are also provided in the rear, enhancing practicality. The vehicle also boasts a sizable split-opening center armrest storage box.
