2 Answers
Chery Flagcloud 1 sedan has a curb weight of 990 kg. Introduction to Flagcloud: It is a sporty family sedan launched by Chery Automobile in 2003, initially with a displacement of 1.6L. In 2005 and later, the Flagcloud series expanded to include 1.3L and 1.5L models, enriching Chery's product lineup. The Flagcloud is one of Chery's best-selling main models, and Chery also has the Chery Star series. The selling point of the Chery Flagcloud is its "2002 World's Top 10 Best Engines," which is unmatched in the domestic same-class sedan market. Fuel consumption of Flagcloud: Its outstanding advantage is its strong power combined with ultra-low fuel consumption. According to statistics, the "Flagcloud Star" (originally the Flagcloud Sport version) has a fuel consumption of about 6 liters per 100 kilometers under urban driving conditions. In the "Urban Road Fuel Economy Competition" held by Beijing TV's "I Love My Car" program in 2005, the participants' results did not exceed 5 liters per 100 kilometers, with the best result being only 4.25 liters per 100 kilometers.
I've been driving a Chery Fulwin 1 for a few years now, and I remember its curb weight is roughly between 1050 to 1150 kg—mine is labeled at 1100 kg. This weight is quite suitable for city driving: it's light and easy to handle, making steering effortless when parking, and it also helps save fuel, averaging around 6 liters per 100 km on the highway. The lighter weight also aids in acceleration, so the car doesn’t feel sluggish when starting. However, I’d recommend checking the official manual to confirm the exact weight when purchasing, as factors like tire size or interior trim can cause slight variations of a few kilograms. Overall, the car’s weight significantly impacts handling—lighter cars are more agile in the city but might feel a bit shaky on windy days, so it’s important to maintain safe driving habits, like keeping a proper distance to prevent instability during sudden braking.
