Chery to speak Russian: Chinese cars will feature navigation from Yandex

The updated EXEED VX SUV was the first to acquire a solution from Yandex

As part of a partnership with Yandex, Chery Automobile will introduce a navigation system based on NaviKit SDK from the Yandex API in its cars. The application will show the route, travel options, the location of traffic lights, warn about road works and cameras along the way. The first car equipped with the new navigator was the premium EXEED VX SUV.

Our cooperation with Chery Automobile will make trips for Russian drivers more comfortable, because they will be able to follow the route on the car's on-board panel, taking advantage of the familiar navigation and the extensive database of the Yandex Maps API

According to Vladimir Shmakov, General Director of Chery Automobile in Russia, the Chinese concern strives to provide maximum comfort for drivers.

Partnership with Yandex will allow us to adapt the most relevant navigation technologies
