Quite Possibly The Cheapest Car EVER!
The Chery QQ was tipped as being the cheapest car in China, at 21,000RMB for the smallest engine QQ, with the least optional extras is quite a bargain, $2700USD for a car that will take you around town, and get you from A to B in the cheapest possible way. Just hope you don’t crash it, otherwise the money you saved will probably go on medical bills, and those extended stays in hospital can really add up!
Erik at CMVDC pointed this car out to us, we posted about Pride Autos previously but decided this paticular model needs extra special attention. We show you, the Pride mini car. We don’t even know its proper name, only that it looks, and is probably based off the Daewoo Tico. This cars price tag is a bargain 19,800RMB or $2500USD. However, you probably wont see this on the roads of the USA or Europe anytime soon.
update: After a little bit of further research into Pride automobiles, we found out that the above Daewoo tico like mini car is being touted as the ‘farmers car’ We believe Prides goal is to set themselves up as having the Chinese ‘Peoples Car‘ at 19,800RMB per car, I think they might just do that!

For a company that wants to help people get into the Chinese car market, there is a lot of criticism of Chinese cars. I wonder if this is wise?
Woon, its a light hearted dig at the most economical cars on the market.
Dont stress about it.
“Just hope you don’t crash it,…”
Yes indeed, I would love to see the video of C-NCAP’s test of this one.
Do these folks have a manufacturer’s license to sell outside of Shandong Province?
Dragin, I cant reply to your emails! Everytime I sen dthem they bounce back to me saying they were spam/profane! Very strange.
Anyway, I found I had a look on Baidu and couldnt find anything about non Shandong residents buying it. Did find a few jokes about the cars quality though!
Hi!
The company has got a website:

Hi,
when are these cheap car are being shipped in India.Is it better than tata’s $2700 car shown in delhi auto expo.
Not really…
“the cheap Tata car will outclass some of your cherys & BYD in the C-NCAP
I VISITED THE FACTORY,BUT FOUND NO PRODUCTS ONLY SAMPLES ,WITH BAD QUALITY ,LATER I HEARED THAT THEY STOPED TOTALY.
This model is originally a suzuki Alto, i think its between 1991 and 93, the car was well known for its fuel economy at 56mpg it justifies all it’s comprimises, daewoo licenced the model which is the tico, which never came in the gt two door model as with the suzuki brand which also had the AltoWorks turbo all wheel drive model, so for a car already loved by millions in the third world for reliability and economy it’s a shame it failed a come-back under chinese branding, with so few parts and a proven engine its really hard to screw up build quality, pity, i want a new one, my 93 is no rust but a bit aged, still drive it everday.
I owned a Daewoo Tico from 1998 until 2003 during part of my university years in South America. This car was quite remarkable as it was built not by Daewoo Motors, but by Daewoo Heavy Industries (the same division that built the Daewoo cargo ships, cranes, backhoes, etc.
I drove it every day in city and mountains, on road, off road for about 60.000 km and it never gave me any trouble.
I had the chance to see a crashed Tico at the repair shop; it had been in an offset frontal collision and then it rolled over in a ditch. The habitacle survived in remarkable good shape, no one died. For a vehicle that weighs only 600kg, that is a very good outcome.
