Qoros
5 SUV
Qoros
has released the first official photos of the new Qoros 5 SUV, a bit earlier
than they planned and wanted. The 5 SUV, with ‘SUV’ being part of the name, was previously known as the Qoros XQ3 SUV. It will debut on the Guangzhou Auto Show
in November and hit the Chinese car market in early 2016.
The
Qoros 5 SUV will be the flagship of the Qoros range. It stands on exactly the
same platform that also underpins the Qoros 3 Hatch, the Qoros 3 City SUV, and
the Qoros 3 Sedan. The platform is not enlarged or stretched or otherwise
altered, as we and other media were made to believe earlier on. The 5 SUV is
basically a dressed & jacked up variant of the silly City SUV.
Taillights
all red, looking great on this red car. Large spoiler above the window. Roof
rails are sadly and badly completely useless. Large Qoros logo again. Chrome
strip on the low end of the hatch connects the secondary light units. Great
looking bumper section with the exhausts roundly integrated in the skid pad.
The
5 SUV will get the same 156 hp 1.6 turbo that is also available in the other
Qoros cars, mated to a six-speed DCT. However, we are hearing persistent rumors
about an additional engine, most likely a 1.8 turbo with about 180 hp, but this
hasn’t been confirmed yet and we don’t really count on it anymore.
Dash
very similar to the Qoros 3 trio. Very dark and very gray in here, in sharp
contrast to the flashy red paint of the exterior. A beige or white interior
would be a much better choice.
Big
panoramic sunroof is a good thing. Useless roof rails are a bad thing.
