Chery QQ: The Chery QQ is the first car in China specifically designed for young people, positioned as "the first car for young people," with its design principle being "happiness." The slogan of the Chery QQ is "Dreams, within reach." The QQ features a stylish appearance, embodying individuality and youthful spirit. Chery QQ's "Four Championships": Sales Champion: The QQ is truly the king of small cars. Quality Champion: The QQ has upgraded configurations and leads in quality.

I remember the Chery QQ so clearly. Since its launch in 2003, it became incredibly popular, almost a phenomenon in the Chinese automotive market. Industry insiders mentioned that its cumulative sales easily surpassed the one million mark, reaching around 1.1 million units. Particularly between 2005 and 2010, monthly sales often soared to tens of thousands. Young people especially loved its compact and cute design, coupled with its affordable price—the top trim was just a few tens of thousands, making it perfect for fresh graduates or students. As a microcar, it helped Chery establish a solid foothold. Although it was later discontinued, its presence on the streets witnessed the rise of domestic cars. Many of my friends had it as their first car—fuel-efficient, nimble, and often customized. In short, the QQ’s massive sales were all thanks to its precise market positioning and word-of-mouth reputation. Even now, it brings back nostalgia for that convenient lifestyle.
