Beijing – Kaiyi, a brand under Chinese automotive giant Chery, has officially launched the 2025 edition of its Kunlun SUV. The new model boasts updated features and competitive pricing, aiming to capture a larger share of the burgeoning SUV market.
The 2025 Kaiyi Kunlun is available in five trim levels, with official guide prices ranging from 98,900 to 135,900 RMB (approximately $13,700 to $18,800 USD). However, Kaiyi is offering a one-price full payment option, significantly reducing the cost to a range of 78,900 to 115,900 RMB (approximately $10,900 to $16,000 USD). The specific pricing for each trim is as follows:
- 1.5T-6DCT Highland Edition: 98,900 RMB (One-Price: 78,900 RMB)

The Kunlun sports a modern design, featuring a frameless front grille with a dot-matrix chrome finish. The grille is flanked by X-shaped split headlights and angular faux air intakes on the front bumper. The vehicle incorporates hidden door handles and a rear diffuser design with quad exhaust outlets, all riding on 18-inch wheels. Color options include Jade White, Obsidian Black, and Crystal Purple.
Inside, the Kunlun features a floating 12.8-inch central control screen angled towards the driver, a design Kaiyi claims is more ergonomic. The base Highland Edition includes standard features such as front airbags, tire pressure monitoring, driver fatigue warning, cruise control, keyless entry/start, leather seats, and rear air vents. Higher trim levels add features like a 360-degree panoramic view, transparent chassis view, leather steering wheel, engine under-guard, Gaode map navigation, a panoramic sunroof, remote control via a mobile app, dual-zone voice recognition control, and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel.
The Kaiyi Kunlun measures 4738mm in length, 1968mm in width, and 1708mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2820mm. Engine options include a 1.5T, 1.6T, and 2.0T. The 1.5T engine produces 115 kW of power and 230 Nm of torque. The 1.6T engine delivers 145 kW of power and 290 Nm of torque. The top-of-the-line 2.0T engine generates 187 kW of power and 390 Nm of torque.
Conclusion:
The 2025 Kaiyi Kunlun SUV presents a compelling option for consumers seeking a stylish and well-equipped SUV at a competitive price point. The one-price full payment option further enhances its appeal. With its range of engine options and trim levels, the Kunlun aims to cater to a diverse range of buyers in the competitive Chinese SUV market. The success of the Kunlun will likely depend on Kaiyi’s ability to maintain quality control and effectively market the vehicle’s strengths to its target audience.
