According to some chinese news sources, Chery Automobile reached the 800,000th car milestone and it was a Chery QQ6 car, a model launched last year. From the 50,000 cars made 5 years ago, to the 189,000 that were made 2 years ago and to the 300,000 Chery cars made last year, the chinese auto manufacturer continued to grow in size and reputation. At maximum capacity, the Chery plant can make

Though Chrysler isn't exactly peachy in the finance department, some possible good news they still got. Its been announced that they will team up with Chery Automobile to make the next subcompact car for the north-american car manufacturer. Now that Chrysler said yes, its Chery's turn to get their approvals from the chinese leadership. Its doubtful they will stall on this, since this is a

Couple of days ago some news surfaced that Chery Automobile is trying to make a partnership with the Malaysian company Proton to gain some ground in their market. Apparently Chery Automobile wants Proton to build two of their models and sell it in Malaysia. We don't know what cars they're talking about though. The source also said that in the first phase only 50 or 60 cars will be made when

Great news for the Chery lovers out there. Chery announced that in 2007 they will build the car with the number 1 million. By 2010 Chery will have a total production capacity of 1 million cars per year, and that's simply great! While they had a 120% rise in production in 2005, Chery got a 60% increase in 2006, going to a production capacity of 300,000 cars/year. Going from 300,000 to 1,000,000

Unfortunately this Chery Tiggo SUV is not their own design, but rather yet another car copied by Chery from the Toyota RAV4. If you'll look at the pictures you'll see that the cars are almost identical, while the Chery Tiggo has a much worse safety rating. The Chery Tiggo is a small SUV and it was launched into production in 2006. It's got five doors and has both front wheel and all wheel drive.

Chery begun the production of the QQ in 2003, later renamed the Chery QQ3 when the QQ6 supermini was launched. I talked before about the copying of the Daewoo Matiz by Chery so I'm not gonna go back on that. The price in China for the Chery QQ is around 3400 euro. The Chery car is also gonna be sold in Europe soon, but with a bit higher price, of around 5000 euro, making it the cheapest car to be

The Chery Flagcloud, also known as the A15, is basicly an upgraded Seat Toledo, which was built under the codename A11 in the past. The Chery Flagcloud has a 1.6L engine and a much better interior then the old Toledo had. The 1.6L engine has 114HP and its very efficient when it comes to fuel.When it comes to safety, the Chery Flagcloud has ABS, EBD and other braking technologies that help it stop

Great news for Chery. They really finished 2006 in style with an almost triple number of cars exported. While Chery exported 18000 cars in 2005, the number sold outside of China in 2006 was around 50000. All in all, the total number of cars sold by Chery, in China and outside, was up by 61%. That's a huge increase and one can only hope that Chery will continue to grow like this in the years to

I know, it's two years late, but I didn't cover this topic so I want to do it now. Two years ago, Chery was sued by GM through Daewoo for copying the Daewoo Spark design and using it for the Chery QQ. What was copied? Well, almost all of it. Interior body structure, exterior and interior design and many key components.What pissed GM off was that Chery was selling the QQ cheaper then the Spark,

Well, all that talk about Chery's low quality is proven right now. Chery is the first chinese car manufacturer to recall cars from the overseas. Chery announced that they're recalling 1875 cars, Tiggo SUV's to be more precise. All the Tiggo's recalled are with automatic transmissions and the reason is that they could suffer engine failure if the defective fan controller isn't repaired.The first

Despite what some analysts thought, Chery Automobile will make its initial public offering in 2008 instead of 2007. The reason for this is the low profit made in 2006, due to the massive expansion in other markets and the research done in this time. Chery will probably do its IPO in both the A-share market from China and on the Hong Kong market.According to Yin Tongyao, the Chery profit will

About two months ago, there was a rumour about Chrysler and Chery negociating for a deal. The idea was that Chery would build the Hornet model for Chrysler, at a cheaper price from what I understood. The fact that Chery has limited morals and poor quality might be a problem, if it isn't already. I'm not sure what happened or if the deal is still on the table right now.Anyway, if it was to happen,

I talked before about the lack of quality at Chery, and now this news comes to confirm it. Martin Bricklin and his company, Visionary Vehicles, have decided to stop their cooperation with Chery. Apparently Bricklin isn't satisfied with Chery's quality and safety control, so they will make their own cars.Bricklin's plan was to design his own models with western experts and then have the cars made

I was interested in writing an article about Chery and its future for some time now. And not so much about Chery, but also about the chinese automotive expansion. The saying that you have to understand the past to know the future is somewhat true here, if we make the connection between the japanese auto boom from the past and the chinese auto boom we see now, partly through Chery and other

Its called the Chery A5 ISG and its the first chinese hybrid car. At the Pekin Auto Show that takes place these days, Chery seems very busy. To be more concrete, Chery is launching two new prototypes, a coupe and an SUV, the new Chery A3 compact and a new version of the Chery A5, called the ISG. The new Chery A5 ISG is the first chinese hybrid car produced as a series model.The Chery A5 is a

Chery will launch at the Beijing Auto Show, the Chery V2.The new Chery V2 is a eight passenger car, with a ... distinct look. The look of the Chery V2 might not be appealing to many, but I'm waiting to see how it drives before I pass any judgement.The Chery V2 will have only one engine available, a 1.3L petrol. The Chery V2 will enter production after the launch at the Beijing Auto Show. Next to

Chery, the chinese auto manufacturer, has signed an agreement with Alfa Romeo to produce the models that will be sold in China. This agreement with Chery will begin three years from now. More details on this when they will become available.I'm hearing more and more about Chery going global and that can only make me happy. Right now Chery is expanding on the eastern-europe market, with intentions

The chinese auto manufacturer, Chery Automobile wants to export its models on the european market. Starting from 2007, Chery wants to also make some production centers in Europe, one trying to make it in Romania. Automotive News Europe says that Chery is analysing multiple possible locations, including Romania, Poland and other eastern-european countries with lower salaries. As far as the export

Fiat announced ten days ago that they signed a partnership with Chery in which the italian company will produce 1.6 and 1.8 petrol engines for Chery.

As I said in the previous post, Chery was founded in 1997, but their first cars only started to be made in 1999, on a licence taken from Seat for the Toledo chassis. Another problem Chery had was that they lacked a licence to sell cars in China. Chery got their license from SAIC eventually, when SAIC bought 20% of Chery. The equipment used by Chery was bought from Ford Europe, a total worth of
