Представители китайских автомобильных компаний постоянно жалуются на то, что российские чиновники не хотят давать «добро» на строительство сборочных заводов. Якобы, это делается по просьбе руководителей отечественн
На автосалоне в Пекине хорошо известная у нас компания Chery представила сразу несколько новых автомобилей. Но мы сейчас расскажем о маленькой машинке, которую можно было с первого взгляда и не заметить – это Chery QQ Sport. Чтобы понять, почему нас заинтересовала эта машина, следует напомнить, что QQ Sport построена на базе… Daewoo Matiz. Однако благодаря [...]
This is Chery's second big launch of the show, also with Italian design input, but here from Pininfarina rather than Torino Design. The A3 is a compact C-segment model available in four-door or five-door bodystyles and the co-ordinated presentation of the cars - all in silver - was very good and gave a sophisticated impression to the booth. The exterior design picks up a number of current design cues that are typical of current Chinese car design: the DLO kicks up at the rear, similar to the new Roewe 550 or the GAIG 4-Door Coupe concept. The bodyside is sculpted and there is a hidden rear door handle, like the Alfa 156. The wide clamshell hood has a character line from the A-pillar that drops down into the front mask and the upper grille has an interesting wave section, with a h
Chery is China's top selling domestic brand, with sales of over 300,000 last year. The company is best known for its small cars, and is already exporting cars to markets such as Russia and Southeast Asia, particularly the successful QQ model that bears a striking resemblance to GM's Chevrolet/Daewoo Matiz model. But Chery is changing fast and has become one of the first Chinese makers to realize that it needs to embrace design in a more professional way in order to develop their image, both in China and for export markets. The new Faria range is a key component of that strategy, as is the larger Pininfarina-designed A3 model, also launched in Beijing this week. The Faria is a whole new family of seven B-segment models, styled by Torino Design in Italy, and represents a clever use
It is known that the exhibition area of Chery is 2,500 square meters. The exhibits include 26 models under 6 series. Both the area and vehicle quantity exceed the scale of the previous years. Read more...
American automaker Chrysler inked a pact with Chinese automaker Chery last year for selling its cars China. Part of the understanding was Chery's small car A1, would in turn be sold in the United States re-badged Dodge. The deal has everyone looking now-Chrysler is taking this up seriously and with a solid reason. The demand for small cars in the United States is rising as is fuel costs. The Chery A1 is infact in the final stages of its tests program which is required for it to be sold overseas. The compact sedan A3 will be Chery's next product after the A1.The Chery A1 looks like a Chevrolet Spark/Matiz clone. As long as it is safe, reliable, cheap to run and exciting to drive, there shouldn't be a problem.
Government-owned Chery Auto, China's largest and most well known auto manufacturer has just started flexing its muscles with the release of five compact minis set to be revealed at Auto China 2008. Called the Faira, the five vehicles which will be released at the show are: a 3-door two-passenger hatch (shown in blue), a 3-door sports hatch (yellow), a mini SUV/CUV (white), as well as a 4-door notchback sedan and a 5-door hatch. These five vehicles are presumed to share the same platform. Each vehicle displays interesting design and manufacturing solutions, such as Cherys' unique emblem 'nose' which differentiates the front end in a two-tier 'sports' and 'city' theme. The 'sports' derivatives - sports hatch and SUV/CUV - receive more aggressive front design with headlamps running fu
Chrysler will start making the Chery A1 available in the Mexican car market. Dodge will be handling the release of the re-badged Chery A1 mini car in Mexico very soon. This is the very first time that the collaboration of Chrysler and Chery would reach success in the Mexican car market. The news was reported by the Xinhua News Agency.A Chery official was able to inform, "Chery A1 cars, built at the company's Wuhu plant, will start to be sold as Dodge brand vehicles in Mexico as scheduled," but he declined to comment on sales target or distribution channels for the model.The A1 model of Chery was the subcompact model Chery QQ with a 1.3-litre petrol engine designed to run at a top speed of 156 km/h. The brand new car is opting to hitch younger customers and in its current data, they were ab

Chrysler and Chery have resumed discussions for a possible co-operation for building subcompact cars in China for the US. Chery stated that their hiatus in this deal was to get a better look on the Americans' future. Cerberus has taken over Chrysler and they're back in the talks.According to Automotive News, an official at Chery leaked the word that Chery will build two cars for Chrysler. One model would be destined for low-end markets such as South America and sources say it could be the Chery A1. The other car is stated to be the Hornet, which will be based on the Hornet Concept. The Hornet will be both engineered and built in China as soon as 2010.[Source: Autoblog]
Chery has released the first photos of the Shooting Sport Concept it will be unveiling later this week in Shanghai, and it's quite faithful to the sketches the automaker released earlier in the month. An attractive three-door with a particularly Prius-esque look up front, the Shooting Sport appears to be production-ready save for some of the more concept-like elements inside the passenger cabin. For example, the fancy gauges, abundant white leather, green trim, and yellow mood lighting would likely go in favor of more conventional-looking, less costly materials. That said, the basic shapes of the console and IP are not unorthodox and could likely carry over.[Source: Autoblog]Continued- Article, more imagesPower 8-way seats, a normal-looking DVD navigation system, and a 60/40 split back seat are among the other features on the concept that would probably transfer to a future production car. Save for the "inspired by" Toyota face, the rest of the car looks like something that wouldn't
Chery, casa costruttrice di auto cinese, alleata anche con Fiat Group, ha deciso di proporre questa concept, Shooting Sport, che svilupperebbe il tema del progetto dell’Audi Shooting Brake (che non verrà realizzata). Il design si ispira molto ai modelli europei e gli interni moderni sono molto caratterizzanti per questa vettura, pronta a debuttare al prossimo Salone di Shangai insieme ad altre due concept car e ben 30 modelli con il marchio Chery.

DaimlerChrysler's Supervisory Board today approved plans for a partnership with China's Chery Motor Company to develop affordable, small vehicles. The news follows the announcement of a preliminary agreement between the two companies in December.Under the partnership, Chery-built vehicles will be distributed under Chrysler brands, primarily in North America and Western Europe.Although the long-rumored Chery deal was expected to lead to a production version of the Dodge Hornet concept, Chrysler CEO Tom LaSorda said in January the projects were not related."The Hornet is a great statement of our design," LaSorda said. "It is also a statement that it’s something that we’re going to continue to take a look at, and depending on the business case going, we’ll look at that independently from this particular project."The new small vehicles will allow Chrysler Group brands to "compete in segments in which the brands do not currently compete, and which are especially important in price-
Let's recap. Chrysler builds pickup trucks for Mitsubishi. Chery is working on a U.S.-market subcompact for Chrysler. Chrysler is selling a rebadged Chery as a Dodge in Mexico. Volkswagen is selling Chrysler-built minivans in the U.S. Nissan is building small trucks for Suzuki to sell in the U.S. and Versas to be sold as Chryslers in Brazil. Chrysler has been talking with Great Wall Motors in China about something. Now, just in case all these relationships aren't confusing enough, The Detroit Free Press reports that Chrysler and Nissan announced Chrysler will build a version of the Ram pickup in Mexico for Nissan to sell in the U.S. In return, Nissan will build a North American-bound small car in Japan for Chrysler. In a way, all this makes sense, particularly the Chrysle
