2 Answers
Kaiyi Auto is a new automotive brand under Chery Holding Group, established in March 2014. Here is relevant information: 1. Kaiyi Auto, formerly known as Wuhu Kaiyi Automobile Co., Ltd., was officially established in 2014. It was jointly invested by Anhui Jiangbei Development Co., Ltd., Chery Commercial Vehicle (Anhui) Co., Ltd., and Wuhu Construction Investment Co., Ltd. 2. Kaiyi Auto Company itself does not engage in vehicle production; its products are manufactured by Chery factories on its behalf, with Kaiyi solely responsible for research and development as well as sales. Most of Kaiyi Auto's models are produced at the Jiangbei Base in Wuhu, Anhui. On December 15, 2017, Wuhu Kaiyi Automobile Co., Ltd. was officially renamed Yibin Kaiyi Automobile Co., Ltd.
As a seasoned car enthusiast, I know quite a bit about Cowin: It's a sub-brand established by Chery in 2014, focusing on cost-effectiveness. It started with the C3 sedan and later specialized in SUVs like the X3 and E3 series. I recall it shares Chery's technical platforms, excels at cost control, and offers affordable prices (80,000-150,000 yuan), making it quite popular in smaller cities. Now transitioning to electric vehicles, it launched the E3 electric version with a range of about 300 kilometers, targeting average families and practical buyers. Though not a major brand, it's reliable and durable, and has added smart connectivity features like voice control to enhance the driving experience. The domestic market is highly competitive, but with Chery's backing, Cowin continues to innovate quietly and may expand its new energy vehicle lineup in the future.
