The flagship version of Chery’s X3L will have an all-electric driving range of over 200 km or 124 miles
The funky off-roader you’re looking at is the Fulwin X3L and is built by Chery in China. Despite what you may be thinking, it isn’t a battery-electric vehicle but rather is equipped with a range-extender powertrain, arguably more suitable for a vehicle like this, designed to tackle tough terrain.

If the design of the Fulwin X3L rings some bells to those familiar with Chinese models (well, okay, with Land Rover Defenders too), that’s because it is essentially a rebadged version of the iCar 03T introduced by Chery last year. We’re not sure why the company felt it necessary to offer two versions of essentially the same vehicle under different brands, but it’s 2025, and we’re living in interesting times indeed.
Stance and Size
The X3L is 4,545 mm (179 inches) long, 1,950 mm (76.7 inches) wide, and stands 1,815 mm (71.4 inches) tall, with a 2,783 mm (109.5-inch) wheelbase. The styling clearly borrows cues from classics like the Land Rover Defender and to a lesser extent, the Mercedes G-Class, resulting in a square, upright form that should turn heads on Chinese streets. Pricing is aggressive, starting at 119,900 yuan (around $16,800) and topping out at 149,900 yuan (roughly $21,000).
Powering the X3L is Chery’s Kunpeng Golden range-extender. It combines a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with 154 hp, working on conjunction with either a single rear-mounted electric motor with 248 hp, or a pair of electric motors in the all-wheel drive version, combining to deliver 422 hp and 373 lb-ft (505 Nm). Chery says the X3L needs just 4.7 seconds to hit 100 km/h (62 mph), which is pretty rapid for a vehicle like this.
The all-electric range will reportedly vary between 135 km (84 miles) and 215 km (133 miles) depending on the version. When combined with the engine and fuel tank, the X3L should be able to travel up to 1,200 km (746 miles) without stopping.
Off-Road Toys
A slew of different driving modes and off-road-focused settings come standard. These include a tank turn function, off-road cruise control, and low-speed crawling options. Other key features include side steps, a side-opening tailgate, and the option of several different off-road modification kits.
The cabin looks quite nice, even though it won’t win any awards for creativity. Among the key features are a 15.6-inch infotainment display, a small digital gauge cluster, rectangular air vents, and chunky grab handles.
