Fact Sheet

Vehicles on Display at the NADA Show VANTAS Booth

Vehicles on display from February 15 – February 17, 2020

 

 

The two SUV vehicles on display at the VANTAS Booth 3256C at the 2020 National Automobile Dealers Association Show are part of the Exeed platform, which is made by Chery Automobile in China.  These vehicles are similar to new VANTAS vehicles that will go on sale in the United States at the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022.  The mid-size TXL SUV is currently on sale in China.  The VX model is currently a concept vehicle from Exeed but is expected to go on sale soon in China and will be the basis of a full-size SUV for VANTAS.  As homologation work for the U.S. market has not yet been completed there may be some differences in specifications between what is listed below and what goes on sale in the U.S. and Canada.  VANTAS is a program of the Irvine, Calif.-based HAAH Automotive Holdings under a technical cooperation agreement with Chery.
