Facelift Chery QQ coming with Crossover version

---

The Chery QQ has fought a long hard battle since its first introduction into the Chinese market way back in 2003, it was difficult for Chinese consumers to warm to small cars in the early days as they were deemed unsafe (and they weren’t wrong) but the QQ won everybody over with its cute looks and cheap price, but from 2008 onwards an entire legion of cheap low cost Chinese mini cars has hit the market but Chery have not update the QQ. A next generation QQ is set to hit the roads in either 2012 or 2013, and in the meantime the below facelift QQ is going to have to take the fight to the market pending the introduction of the next generation model.

Engines for the QQ will largely be the same – 800cc, 1.0L and 1.1L, the middle 1.0L is a next generation engine with slightly improved power output and fuel consumption, the other two remain the same as the previous QQ models. The Riich M1 was slated to be the next generation Chery QQ but it was pulled over to the Riich project leaving the Chery brand without a convincing small car for the next two years, hopefully the facelift QQ will resonate with consumers that want to have a sound and well known car.
