Chery Exeed RX SUV design patent filed ahead of JSW Motors' official India entry

Chinese automaker Chery has filed a design patent for the Exeed RX SUV in India. This comes on the back of the Chery and JSW’s joint venture, which would allow the latter to sell rebadged cars from the former’s stable in India. This would be JSW’s second automobile joint venture in the Indian market, since it already has a JV with SAIC Motors.

The Exeed RX SUV features an angular design with slim connected LED daytime running lights (DRLs) running across the width of the car, a muscular hood, C-shaped DRLs placed lower on the bumper, a projector LED headlamp, a diamond-shaped front grille, and a radar sensor for an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), among others.
