Chery Karry K60
The very first Spy Shots of the
new Chery Karry K60
mini MPV. The Karry K60 will debut on the Beijing Auto Show in April and launch
on the Chinese car market in the second half of the year. Karry is the
commercial vehicle division of Chery Auto, the K60 is their first real
passenger car.
The Karry K60 is basically the same car
as the Cowin V3 mini MPV, but with a slightly less luxurious
interior, so the K60 will likely be cheaper than the V3. The V3 also has
a super fancy touch
screen which the K60 doesn’t get, although the screen in
the K60 is still of sizable size.
The K60 will be powered by a 1.5 liter four-cylinder petrol with 107 horses, mated to a five speed manual. The V3 will
get the this very same 1.5 liter and also a 125 hp 1.6 liter. Dimension size is 4606/1790/1750 mm, wheelbase is 2765 mm.
Launching two such similar cars under
two different names normally doesn’t seem a very smart idea, especially when
one of those names normally makes commercial vehicles. The Karry name however
is strong in rural China where the Cowin brand is (yet) unknown.
