In this context, the new S900 PHEV 4x4 stands out as the most ambitious offering, targeting the segment of Europe's benchmark large electrified SUVs.
Rising sales and the context of the PHEV market in Spain
EBRO's first sales cycle in Spain reflects a positive reception among those seeking Eco or Zero emissions labels, with some 2.200 units delivered in November alone and a high presence of electrified models. The market for plug-in hybrid SUVs, where the S900 competes, has grown by around 115%. Between January and October, it positioned itself as an intermediate alternative between combustion engines and pure electric vehicles. In this context, the EBRO s900 PHEV 4x4 is presented as an option for users who want electrification without being entirely dependent on public charging. Thus, the brand is making progress in a market where demand for PHEVs continues to be strong.
In recent months, EBRO registered 1.633 registrationsThis reinforces a very favorable year for their business strategy. These results serve as the basis for the decision to launch a larger and more powerful model, aimed at competing with offerings from brands such as Hyundai o KiaThe evolution of the market and EBRO's own offering points to a more ambitious positioning within the SUV segment. This approach combines electrification, size, and differentiated equipment with a strategy aimed at consolidating the brand's presence in an environment of growing demand.

T2X-E Platform: Next-generation technical base and chassis
The EBRO s900 is the first European model based on the T2X-E platformCreated by Chery for medium and large vehicles with various electrified systems, this architecture employs high-strength steels and composite materials to balance rigidity, safety, and weight control. Its goal is to offer dynamic stability without compromising efficiency or insulation.The structure is intended to meet the requirements of an SUV of its size and capabilities.
The multi-link H-shaped rear suspension provides a balance between comfort and precision, while also allowing for the integration of a high-capacity battery and an electric all-wheel-drive system. The electronics predictively manage torque distribution to improve traction and efficiency. The development of this platform is the result of collaboration between different engineering centers of the Chery GroupIts modularity allows EBRO to create future models adapted to European regulations and preferences. This gives the brand industrial and technical flexibility.
EBRO s900 plug-in hybrid engine: 425 hp, all-wheel drive and ZERO emissions label
The plug-in hybrid system combines a 1.5 TGDI engine with three electric motors to deliver 425 hp and 580 NmThese are paired with intelligent all-wheel drive. This configuration allows for acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 5,8 seconds, impressive figures for a seven-seater SUV. Energy management automatically switches between electric, series hybrid, parallel hybrid, or combustion modes, depending on driving conditions.
The driver can select up to seven driving modes These features adjust response, torque delivery, and traction control. They allow the vehicle to handle roads, highways, and low-grip surfaces within the limits of a family SUV. Performance is thus adapted to diverse needs, from long journeys to everyday urban or rural driving. The ZERO emissions label adds advantages for urban mobility.
Battery, autonomy and charging in the EBRO s900
The 34,46 kWh battery allows up to 140 kilometers WLTP in electric mode and nearly 177 km in strictly urban use, high figures within the PHEV segment. In combination with the combustion engine, the total range exceeds 1.000 km and the official fuel consumption is around 1,7 l/100 km. As with all PHEVs, real-world consumption depends on usage and charging frequency. Efficiency is maximized on daily electric commutes.
The It supports AC charging at 6,6 kW and DC fast charging up to 71 kW.allowing it to charge from 30% to 80% in about 25 minutes. It also includes a V2L function to power external devices, useful for leisure or work. This set of charging solutions enhances its versatility both in the city and while traveling. The energy design aims to balance battery life, convenient charging, and performance.
This is how the new EBRO s900 is progressing
After getting behind the wheel of this new model during its national presentation in Malaga, it becomes clear to us that it is a car extremely comfort-oriented of all its occupants. Despite this, it doesn't use an overly soft suspension setup; even over speed bumps or raised crosswalks, if approached too enthusiastically, there's a slight jolt, though it's not at all bothersome. Furthermore, despite its weight of over 2.300 kg, it's not an overly clumsy car on winding roads.
The best thing about the carHowever, as with any good flagship vehicle, the best experience is from the rear seats, with someone else taking the wheel. In the second row, the spaciousness and comfort (plush upholstery, electronically adjustable seatbacks, heated seats, and the feeling of spaciousness with the panoramic sunroof open) make you wish the journey would never end. The last two seats, on the other hand, are best reserved for emergencies or small children.
We continue to break down the dynamics because the steering, although it has a decidedly assisted feel, is sufficiently precise and with the three different driving modes It is possible to regulate the power or demand maximum performance, depending on whether we choose Eco Mode, Normal or Sport Mode.
The degree of regenerative braking can also be adjusted between three different options, although this requires navigating through various submenus on the central screen (it would have been much easier and more practical to install small paddles behind the steering wheel for the same function), and it is equally worth mentioning that the battery reserve never runs outIn other words, when the energy level is low, the gasoline engine starts generating electricity on its own to keep the car running in conventional hybrid mode until the battery is fully recharged at a home charging station. Therefore, average fuel consumption, while not reaching the 2-3 l/100 km of hybrid mode with a full battery, will generally not reach double digits either. In any case, it's advisable to reserve electric power for urban driving, as with any PHEV.
Price, versions and warranty
The initial Luxury version starts from 46.990 euros with promotions (38.990 euros if we include the more than likely future government aid in the equation)Positioning itself competitively within its category. Without discounts, the price can reach close to €50.000 for a direct purchase without financing or subsidies. This price range places it as a high-performance PHEV SUV at a mid-range price.
EBRO backs the model with a 7-year warrantyThis is an added value in a PHEV with a large battery and complex technology. The DGT's ZERO emissions label offers benefits in low-emission zones and regulated parking areas, depending on the city. The competitive price combines performance, equipment, and extended warranties.
Production in Spain and cooperation with the Chery Group
The EBRO s900 will be produced in the Barcelona Free Trade ZoneThis is part of a reindustrialization project focused on electrified vehicles. This approach adds value to the product and a strategic component at the local level. The plant aims to become a benchmark for the brand's growth.
Technical collaboration with Chery Auto It allows for combining expertise in modular platforms with Spain's industrial commitment. According to EBRO's management, this project reinforces technical evolution, quality, and sustainability. In a context of decarbonization and technological transformation, the s900 emerges as a pillar of competitiveness for the brand in Spain and Europe.
