Cowin Auto X3 SUV
The Cowin X3, code named XC51, is the production version of
the 2014 Cowin i-CX
concept, it will be launched on the Chinese
car market in the first half of 2016. Debut is expected for the Beijing Auto
Show in April.
Cowin Auto is a new car brand under Chery
Automobile focused on making cheap and somewhat trendy vehicles
for young car buyers living in second and third tier cities, a booming new
market in China with a vast potential for zillions of sales. Cowin Auto will
develop new vehicles from scratch and they will inherit
several vehicles that are now sold under the Chery name. The Cowin X3 is based
on the long-running Chery Tiggo 3 SUV.
A very dark but high tech dash with a
10.1 inch LCD touch screen in the center, and a 7 inch LCD screen for the
entire instrument panel. Above the central screen are three trendy round air
vents. The system is operated by the iCar 1.0 operating system.
The X3 will be powered by 1.4 turbo and
1.6 turbo four-cylinder petrol engines, both mated to a 6-speed manual or a
six-speed DCT, sending power to all four wheels. Cowin is also working on a
plug-in hybrid variant.
Large Cowin logo on the spare wheel
cover, but real wheels are as tiny as they come. Black plastic around the
arches for that cross-the-mountain feeling, and roof rails that appear to be
usable, but only just.'
