New Qoros 3 GT Crossover and Electric Concept
Qoros is ready to launch its first
sports crossover sedan for the Chinese market, dubbed the 3 GT, and has
released a preview ahead of its official launch at the 2016 Guangzhou Auto Show.
Qoros says that the 3 GT creates an entirely new
segment in the market catering towards customers "who prefer both the
driving comfort of a sedan and the traffic ability of an SUV".
The 3 GT powered by the brand's standard 1.6-liter
turbocharged engine producing 156 hp and is differentiated from other Qoros
models through its black body cladding and design inspired by the 3 Q-Lectric
concept unveiled earlier in the year.
The 3 Q-Lectric concept will also
be on display in Guangzhou as a proposal for the ever-increasing domestic EV
market, with Qoros hoping that a production version would rival the Chevrolet
Bolt but be even cheaper. Qoros says that the concept has a range of 350 km and that it can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7 seconds and
continue to a 162 km/h top speed.
