Chery
Alpha 5 Concept
This
is the brand new Chery Alpha 5 concept car, launched today on the Shanghai Auto
Show in China, looking sporty and very orange. The Alpha 5 previews the
upcoming Chery Arrizo 5 compact sedan, and it is a continuation of the 2014
Chery Concept Alpha.
The
Arrizo 5 has been delayed, it was expected for launch in the autumn of last
year. Launch is now scheduled for the third quarter. Price will range from
60.000 to 100.000 Yuan, and that is cheaper than we heard earlier on.
There
will be two engines available: a 1.6-litre four-cylinder with 126 Hp and 155 Nm,
and a new 1.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 130 Hp and 212 Nm. Both engines
will be mated to a 5-speed manual or a CVT.
The
design of the interior is 99% production-ready bar for the center console,
which is really cool. One giant bulbous touch screen for controlling almost
everything, graphics look great. Sadly, the real thing will get a much smaller
flat screen, but the control panel for the aircon will go into production
unchanged.
