Chery is now the largest shareholder of Qoros, and
it will basically be operated as a Chery brand. Model Young is a new line of
semi-sporty semi-premium vehicles under Qoros that will be aimed at young car
buyers, hence the idiotic name.
The SUV is the first car of this Model Young brand.
We don’t know the name yet, but we know its code name: T1x. So the full name of
the SUV is going to be like this: Chery-Qoros Model Young.
The SUV is not at all a new car, it is basically a
rebadged Chery Tiggo 7. Qoros didn’t even bother to change the lights, all they
did was alter the grille a bit and add fake air vents on the front fenders.
The engine is the same as in the Tiggo 7: a 1.5
turbo with 154 hp, mated to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed DCT.
