What is qoros?
2 Answers
qoros is the brand name for Qoros cars. Taking the 2020 Qoros model as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category with the following dimensions: length 4600mm, width 1869mm, height 1658mm, wheelbase 2710mm, minimum ground clearance 180mm, and fuel tank capacity 55l. The 2020 Qoros features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 197PS, maximum power of 145kW, and maximum torque of 290Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I understand that Qoros is a Sino-foreign joint venture automotive brand born about a decade ago, co-founded by China's Chery Automobile and Israel Corporation, with the aim of creating Chinese cars of international standards. They hired a European design team, and their first models like the Qoros 3 sedan scored high in European safety crash tests, making me feel that it represented the ambition of Chinese automakers to challenge international brands. I remember around 2013 when it was launched, its stylish interior and exterior designs attracted a lot of attention, but high costs and weak marketing later led to mediocre sales. As an observer, I believe Qoros demonstrated the upward attempt of domestic cars, and although it faced challenges later, its safety concepts had an impact on the industry.
