The popular low-budget model of Chinese production Chery QQ can be said to have been continued in a new version - Chery QQ6. The updated car stands out with its own design and generous equipment.
Cars manufactured by the Chinese automaker Chery are an integral part of our roads today. Although a few years ago, domestic motorists could not have imagined that they would consider the possibility of purchasing a Chinese new car along with Russian, European, less often due to the remoteness, but not fame, American and auto products of developed Asian countries, such as Japan and South Korea ... All Chery cars are characterized by one thing in common - it sounds like a tautology, but they have no similarities in common. The reason is the copying of models from manufacturers of different brands. Baby Chery QQ6 - inherits the predecessor QQ, but does not echo it in appearance and copying Daewoo Matiz. However, in this case, he has a very good reason, namely, his own, individual, not copied design from anyone.
Of course, the appearance of the QQ6 is very distinctive and will not find a response in the hearts of car owners, for whom a car is primarily an image. But cheri qq6 is not designed for the image, because the car, as you know, is not a luxury. As an affordable and fairly comfortable means of transportation, the QQ6 is optimally suited for young people and buyers who are indifferent to any kind of "toughness".
When describing the exterior, the first thing that comes to mind is a comparison with a cartoon car. Chery QQ6 exterior design style can be described as rounded rusticity. One thing is certain, the shape of the body, in combination with the bright palette of the proposed colors, leaves few people indifferent. This is a plus for those who want to stand out on the road. Complementing the exterior of the QQ6 are 14-inch light-alloy wheels that have already become a good tradition. The "disadvantages" include the wide rear pillars, which organically fit into the design, but significantly limit the rear view, while small side mirrors do not save, but rather exacerbate the problem.
The interior trim in Chery QQ6 is made in light colors, and attracts the first glance, but of course it is impractical to operate. The quality of materials, unfortunately, as in all Chinese cars, still leaves much to be desired. The build quality, the presence of uneven gaps, is also satisfactory. An interesting feature of the interior is the dashboard, made in the form of a "drop", with one-in-one instrument scales. Such an original, one might even say fresh, design solution does not interfere with the readability of the devices. The spacious interior space is especially pleasing after contemplating the modest external forms.
The boot capacity is 500 liters, and there is room not only for a full-size spare wheel on a cast disc, but also for hand luggage. The driver's seat has 6 mechanical longitudinal adjustments.
What Chery QQ6 really is not ashamed to boast of is the rich bundle of additional options. The car has anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force distribution (EBD), which are responsible for active safety. Passive safety is represented by front airbags for the driver and passenger, a crash-proof steering column. Additional comfort and anti-theft protection are provided by the remote control central locking, alarm and immobilizer. The package also includes power steering, power windows for the front door windows and manual air conditioning.
In terms of technical characteristics, Chery QQ6 cars are equipped with two versions of a 1.1 liter gasoline engine. (68 hp, maximum speed 130 km / h) and 1.3 liters. (83 hp, maximum speed 160 km / h) with a 5-speed manual transmission. Chery QQ6 has independent front suspension with McPherson wishbones, anti-roll bar and hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers. Rear suspension - dependent spring, also with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers. Front brakes - disc, rear - archaic drum.
Driving and operational characteristics make it possible to successfully use Chery QQ6 in urban conditions - "sharp" steering wheel, tenacity of the braking system ... a noisy but productive air conditioner will also be useful.
The disadvantages include a stiff clutch pedal, a stiff suspension, "rattling" of interior parts while driving, quite high, as for such a kid, urban fuel consumption of 10-12 liters per 100 km.
Price - yes, many of the disadvantages of Chery QQ6 pale next to its price. In 2010, Chery QQ6 can be bought on the domestic market in two versions - Lux, 1.1L and Lux, 1.3L, for which they ask for 270 and 290 thousand rubles, respectively. Although the situation with its quality remains difficult, resulting in a constant need for repairs and tangible additional material, and often moral, costs.
