Chinese name: 奇瑞艾瑞泽5 (qíruì àiruìzé 5) Year of launch: 2015 Chery Automobile was the largest Chinese carmaker for quite some time, thanks to successes of the QQ, Tiggo, A5 and the old Windcloud/Flagcloud (Fulwin/Cowin) models. Chery is a state-owned company founded in 1997. It began automobile production in 1999 after acquiring toolings and a license to produce the first generation Seat Toledo. Interesting is that Chery was only granted a production license for passenger cars in 2003, which means Chery cars couldn't be legally sold until 2001. Until then Chery was officially only producing automotive components, albeit in a fully assembled form. In 2001 Chery solved the problem by piggybacking on a SAIC Motor license, China's largest state-owned car manufacturer. Chery surely knowns the way around the law... After rising tensions between Chery Automobile and General Motors (GM) and Volkswagen, two of SAIC's joint venture partners, the 20% ownership SAIC once held in Chery was sold. GM was not amused and filed lawsuits after Chery copied their Spark (Matiz) and Epica (Evanda/Magnus) models. Volkswagen also planned a lawsuit against Chery, because they apparently secretly purchased the Seat Toledo blueprints, which is quite interesting considering Seat is a subsidiary of Volkswagen... The Tiggo, Chery's first SUV, was launched in 2005. It is a copy of the second generation Toyota RAV4. It has received three facelifts so far and is still going strong. It was renamed Tiggo 3 as Chery was expanding the line-up, starting with the Tiggo 5 in 2013 and followed by the all new Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 3x (a raised and heavily revamped Fulwin 2) in 2016 and Tiggo 5x in 2017. The Tiggo Coupe Concept was first shown in Shanghai in April. Thanks to the newly launched models, the successful Arrizo 5 sedan, Chery Tiggo 7 and the recently launched second generation Tiggo 5, Chery seems to have found new success. The Arrizo 5 is currently Chery's best-selling model and is the production version of the 2015 Chery alpha 5 Concept. I think it is one of the best-looking sedans on the Chinese market, with a great stance and understated look. Sales figures: carsalesbase.com/china-car-sales-data/chery/chery-arrizo-5/ |
