Why was the Chery Arrizo GX discontinued?
1 Answers
Because Chery had completed its planned objectives at that time and needed to re-strategize its future flagship models. Following the trend of suffix naming, the GX was essentially the Arrizo 5 Plus, marking a return to the right path, with the 7 series waiting in the wings. Below is the relevant introduction: Background: SUVs were dominating the consumer market, and the Arrizo GX, which lacked platformization and lightweight design, occupied a portion of production capacity while generating too low a profit. Purpose: With the release of powertrain resources, Chery aimed to introduce a true successor to the Arrizo series. This required advance planning, waiting for the SUV series to complete its updates, and then launching a new sedan model.
