- The Chinese automaker Chery has unveiled its first model of its new brand Qoros. This C-segment model has been specifically designed for the European market. It should be presented at the next Geneva Motor Show (March 2013).

- This is the first time a model made by a 100% Chinese manufacturer  has been designed to be sold exclusively on the European market.

- The model fits perfectly into the market with its styling inspired from existing models,  to appeal to European customers. Chery’ target is to sell 50,000 units per year initially (150,000 at a cruise level).

- It may be noted some styling likeness to Renault (Fluence), Volkswagen (Jetta) and even Skoda (Octavia).

- But using  the term copy is not appropriate.  It is not here a copy of an existing model, as  it was previously the case for models built by this carmaker Chery.  The drawing (notcback) is clever but very classic. The dashboard is  very simple but of good quality. So far no price has been announced.
