Modern Chinese Automotive ReviewIn today’s fiercely competitive automotive industry, collaboration has become the key to breaking through development bottlenecks and enhancing core competitiveness. The deep collaboration between Wuhu Jetour Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. and Fujian Soueast Automobile embodies a classic case in Chery Automobile Group’s strategic planning. While serving distinct roles, these two entities have formed a “production-sales” golden chain through close collaboration, jointly driving Chery’s brand matrix toward higher-quality development.
I. Strategic Synergy: The Symbiotic Relationship Between Jetour and Soueast Wuhu Jetour Automobile Sales Co., Ltd., as the sales “pioneer” of the Jetour brand, is fully owned by Chery Automobile and focuses on national market expansion and service system construction. After being fully acquired by Chery in 2024, Fujian Soueast Automobile has transformed into a vital manufacturing base within the group. While operating independently, the two entities achieve deep synergy under the group’s coordination:
1.
Capacity Complementarity, Breaking Bottlenecks: Jetour’s sales have been soaring, but its original production capacity struggled to support its ambitious million-unit target. Through production line upgrades, Soueast provides strong capacity support for models like the Jetour Traveler, boosting monthly capacity to over 40,000 units—a crucial guarantee for Jetour’s aggressive goals.
2.
Geographical Advantage, Global Reach: Leveraging Fujian’s geographical location, Soueast not only巩固 domestic southeast markets but also serves as a critical springboard for Chery’s exports to ASEAN. Supportive policies from the Fuzhou government further strengthen this strategic positioning.
3.
Technical Empowerment, Quality Upgrade: Soueast’s 30 years of manufacturing experience and expertise in the four major automotive processes (stamping, welding, painting, and assembly) infuse Jetour products with high-quality craftsmanship. Deep integration of technical and management teams ensures optimal resource utilization.
II. Renewed Momentum: Analyzing Soueast’s Three Star Models After being acquired by Chery and renamed “Soueast,” the brand has launched three SUVs fully integrated into Chery’s technological ecosystem, showcasing formidable market competitiveness:
1. Soueast S06: Versatile Sports Mid-size SUV
● 
Powertrain: 1.5T/1.6T Kunpeng engines balancing performance and fuel efficiency; PHEV version offers 114km electric range, catering to new energy demands.
●
Highlights: Sharing a platform with Jetour Dashing, it combines agility and comfort, becoming a top choice for young families.
2. Soueast S07: Rugged Family-oriented Mid-size SUV
● 
Diverse powertrain options include 1.5T with 6MT/8AT, accommodating different driving preferences.
●
Size Advantage: 4724mm length and 2720mm wheelbase deliver spacious comfort, leveraging technologies from the X70 Plus for reliable quality.
3. Soueast S09: Flagship Spacious Benchmark
● 
2.0T high-power engine (254hp) paired with 7DCT for exhilarating performance; offers 5/7-seat layouts, with an ultra-long 2850mm wheelbase redefining flagship SUV experience.
●
Technologically对标对标 the X90 Pro, establishing a premium image with segment-leading configurations.
III. Global Ambitions: Future Vision Enabled by Synergy By integrating Jetour’s sales network with Soueast’s manufacturing prowess, Chery has constructed a “Made in Fujian, Sold Nationwide, Radiating Globally” strategic blueprint. This model not only resolves Jetour’s capacity constraints but also revitalizes Soueast’s production potential, achieving a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts. As Soueast deepens its presence in overseas markets like Russia and the Middle East, it is poised to become a pivotal player in Chery’s global brand matrix, alongside EXEED, Jetour, Omoda, and Jaecoo, jointly writing a new chapter in Chinese automakers’ global expansion.
Conclusion: In Chery’s strategic chessboard, the collaboration between Jetour and Soueast transcends mere resource integration; it vividly illustrates the transformation of “Made in China” into “Smart Manufacturing in China.” The debut of Soueast’s three models marks the fruition of this partnership. Looking ahead, there is every reason to believe that this “golden duo” will establish more industry benchmarks and elevate China’s automotive industry to new heights.
