Everything about The Chery Qq totally explained
The
Chery QQ (codename
S11) is a
city car produced by the
Chinese manufacturer
Chery Automobile since 2003. From 2006 the car was renamed the
Chery QQ3 in China, when Chery launched their new supermini the
Chery QQ6.
In
China, it's sold for 29,000--50,000
RMB. The price on the
European market is going to be around € 5000, beating the
Dacia Logan as the most inexpensive car in that market. In Iran, the car is assembled as the
MVM 110 by the
Modiran Vehicle Manufacturing Company and is a replacement for the
Kerman Khodro built Matiz. In
Sri Lanka, the car is assembled with some locally manufactured parts by
David Pieris Motor Company.
The QQ3 was recently introduced into South Africa and is imported by Mcarthy Holdings and retails retails for 59,000
ZAR - 69,000
ZAR and is the currently the cheapest car available in the South African car market.
The Chery QQ is available with the following two
gasoline-powered engines (both
EURO III compliant):
- 0.8 L SQR372 I3 DOHC 12v — at 6000 rpm, at 3500 rpm
- 1.1 L SQR472F I4 DOHC 16v — at 6000 rpm, at 3500 rpm
Controversy
The car is at the center of an industrial rights controversy, since
General Motors have claimed that it's very similar to the
Chevrolet Spark/
Daewoo Matiz. GM executives have proved that the doors of the Chery car can be mounted on the Chevrolet Spark without modification, and
Car and Driver, an automobile magazine, calls it "a copy".
In Iran, the
Chevrolet Spark/Daewoo Matiz had been assembled by local company
Kerman Khodro since the year 2000 in a joint venture with the South Korean
GM Daewoo. However the crisis at Daewoo resulted in a take-over by the American
General Motors corporation, which then put a ban on Iran and stopped supplying
CKD kits to the Iranian company. This resulted in
Kerman Khodro licencing the Chery QQ car for the replacement and put it into production at their subsidiary
MVM.
Competition
Although once the cheapest in its class, the Chery QQ has recently been challenged by the new
Tata Nano from
Tata Motors, India. At a price of $2500, the
Tata Nano is now the cheapest available car in the world.
