On May 23, 2026, EXEED—a premium Chinese automotive brand—officially unveiled the 2027 Yaoguang SUV at the Chengdu Airport Sports Park. Centered on the core philosophy of "Democratizing Luxury," the launch introduced three distinct models: the "Yaoye" Edition, the "Huanqiu" Edition 400T (Gasoline), and the "Huanqiu" Edition 120 Long-Range 2WD (C-DM Hybrid). The official guide prices for the series range from CNY 137,900 to 152,900. As the EXEED brand's first hybrid SUV to be exported to Europe, the Yaoguang has already ranked among the top three best-sellers in its class in key markets such as Spain and Italy; the 2027 model is poised to further solidify its global competitiveness.
The 2027 Yaoguang continues to employ the "Atlantis Light Aesthetics" design language—a style that previously earned it a Gold Award at the U.S. IDA International Design Awards—featuring an overall aesthetic that seamlessly blends Eastern artistic sensibilities with a sense of modern technology.
Exterior Highlights:
Low-Slung, Wide-Body Stance: Measuring 4,781 mm in length, 1,920 mm in width, and 1,671 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,815 mm, the vehicle features a long-wheelbase, short-overhang ratio that creates a sporty profile, boasting a low drag coefficient of just 0.308.
Interstellar Matrix LED Headlights: Equipped with intelligent adaptive steering and offering eight distinct light-pattern modes, these headlights possess a highly distinctive visual signature.
"Yaoye" Package (Exclusive to the Yaoye Edition): Features include an "Xuan Yu Black" body color, a black grille, red brake calipers, and black roof rails, all designed to accentuate the vehicle's sporty DNA.
Two-Tone Body Option: Available as an optional upgrade on the "Huanqiu" Edition, while the "Yaoye" Edition retains its exclusive monochromatic "Xuan Yu Black" finish.
Wheel Differentiation: The Hybrid version comes equipped with 19-inch wheels (235/55 R19), whereas the Gasoline and "Yaoye" Editions are upgraded to 20-inch wheels (245/45 R20) fitted with Michelin tires.
Body Structure: Constructed with a body shell comprising 78% high-strength steel—including the use of hot-stamped steel in critical zones—the vehicle strikes an optimal balance between safety and lightweight design, having successfully earned dual five-star safety ratings in both China and Europe.
Designed around the concept of a "Mobile Luxury Lounge," the 2027 Yaoguang brings the premium luxury experience typically found in the 400,000-yuan segment down to the 130,000-yuan market level.
