Karry Automobile Company is one of the important components of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., mainly responsible for the research and development, production, and sales of micro passenger and cargo vehicles. Here is some extended information: 1. Karry is one of Chery's commercial vehicle strategic brands, focusing on 7-seater models. Karry is positioned as a work vehicle for industry users, logistics vehicles for small and medium-sized enterprises, tool vehicles for individual businesses, and multi-functional vehicles suitable for both commercial and family use. 2. Karry currently has nine models on sale: Karry Youyou, Karry Youjin, Karry K50, Karry K60, Karry Youyou EV, Karry Youjin EV, Karry K50 EV, Karry K60 EV, and Dolphin EV.

Just got this new Karry delivery van, let me tell you about this brand. Karry is actually the offspring of Chery - while Chery focuses on passenger vehicles, Karry tackles the tough commercial vehicle segment. My workhorses like the K50 and Youyou mini vans are all built at their Wuhu factory. After driving a Youyou for three years with Chery's ACTECO engine tech and reinforced chassis, it never failed me even with two-ton loads on rough rural roads. Nowadays you'll spot Karry badges on every third delivery van on the road, with widespread service networks making maintenance a breeze.

Helped my cousin pick a car a couple of days ago and researched Kaicheng's background. It became independent from Chery's commercial vehicle division in 2009, mainly focusing on practical work vehicles. The manufacturer cleverly leverages Chery's core powertrain technology, sharing over 70% of engines and chassis components. However, Kaicheng specializes in minivans and light trucks, like the Youjin T70 double-cab model that seats five while hauling 1.5 tons. I once saw a display unit at a Chery dealership - maintenance for the same engine costs about 100 RMB less than Wuling models.

Karry has quite a unique background. When it spun off from Chery in 2009, it specifically targeted the urban logistics market. Headquartered in Wuhu, Anhui, it shares R&D centers with Chery. Engineers at the factory told me that models like the Youyou Extended Version were specially reinforced with strengthened cargo floor panels capable of withstanding forklift operations. The new energy vehicles launched last year still utilize Chery New Energy's battery technology, with a rated range of 300km (actual 250km), making them quite popular among Huolala drivers.
