Chery has released information on their latest compact car, the Chery QQ6 known internally as the S21. The Chery QQ6 is a small notchback said to be inspired by the design of the Volkswagen New Beetle. The notchback form is popular in China, as evident by Citroen developing the Citroen C-Triomphe, a special notchback version of Citroen C4 the specially for the Chinese market. The 4-door supermini is based on a new platform, not carried over from the previous Chery QQ and the notchback form is the first in a series that will also include a hatchback and a stationwagon.
This platform is said to be developed by Chery entirely on it’s own. It offers two engine options, a 1.1 litre and a 1.3 litre. It will be priced between US$5,250 and US$6,500 in the Chinese market. With the introduction of the QQ6, it’s sibling the Chery QQ will be renamed the Chery QQ3 as Chery intends to continue selling the Chery QQ3. More photos after the jump.

wtf!!!
a thumb down.. but a compact sedan car idea is not bad.. it can be a pioneer in compact car's design & concept… may be daihatsu or p2 can follow the trend with better designs… engines dah ada macam-macam… so no problem punya…
see!!! told ya! chili sauce paint! it looks like a cherry.. now wheres the whipped cream?
aiyoh…looks like a egg with 4 wheels.. or a rat without its tail. better not make it available in CarTaxland. !!!!
bodo…
Funny looking car.
Why all their names are QQ? What does the QQ stand for?
I dunno, QQ = Cute Cute?
i think…QQ = quang quang quang…plus another Q
interesting idea. maybe p2 can consider this. a compact car with a tail. i found in another website a photoshopped savvy with a tail. quite nice. hope the big wigs at p1 study the potential. afterall, malaysians still prefer a visible and larger boot for long balik kamoung trips. agree or don't agree?
if it comes here, wonder how much the chery "cute cute" sedan (a very corny sounding name indeed) will cost.
inspired by the VW beetle…?! holy mother of… thats the biggest insult ever…!
this stupid qq looks inspired by the elantra, sephia, and city/liana instead…
OMG..what is that?
inside quite impressive…better than savvy i guess..
if Sutera can sell, don't see why this QQ can't…. if the price is right & spec is right.
VW Bettle ehhh….not even close!!!…
i think i better kill myself…lol
erk.. lazy to read.. cauze its look worse than *******.. even more! better kill myself.. =.=''
This car must have been designed by some Ah Lians.
Chinese car vs Malaysian car
whoever wins…we lose again..
sigh…
Looks more like a Seat than a New Beetle : )
uuuurrrrggghhh….
That, my dear friends, is the most absolutely stupid looking car I have ever seen.
pppeeerrrggghh…hhhooorrrroooorrr
Inspired by the Beetle? OMGWTF!! Can't really find words to describe how ugly i think this car is… Cherry would do better copying other cars like it used to
i see the design is not bad..inovative…better than car design by local maker.
QQ have a global mindset…
Ii price is good, should be can sell .well..
put a chevy spark front panels on it and it will look decent…
wahh .. looks better than our beloved PROTON … so long PROTON
really cannot!
oh my… the first pic looks ugly… I can't understand why chinese automakers design something like that… hmm… the design looks old… but the interior doesn't look bad… doesn't match the exterior of the car…
Eeeeeuuuuuwwwww….. *PUKE*
the idea is good. with a sense of business.
wa! kao!
Funny look leh….
Come on ……
IT IS REALLY A CHINA CAR>>>
u can knew it by his LOOK….
hahaha….
I can see that most ppl here cannot accept Chinese made vehicle. For me, from a subjective point of view, they're improving all the time. OK, it may look stupid now. But looking back in 1985 when the first Proton came out, it didn't look any better. Even though Proton is making lost now, yet they're still the market leader here. So, I will not look down on Chinese car. Certainly, Naza's boss has the same view.
yucks , where da designer get da idea frm ?
crap man !
c'mon guys, give them a chance to prove themselves..we dont know yet whether the performance of the car is good or bad. open ur mind a little bit…anyway, the car looks fine to me, just the front lamp looks quite 'childish'..whatever..
So freaggid weird, everything
I hate centre dashboards = i hate this car as a whole
=P
No comment. Just dunn dare to ride in this car. May fall over at high speed corner. Up coming Kancil looks better.
yeah baby.. we all can bash this QQ car inspire by the VW Bettle…"not even close" for this car and that VW.. that's how we (the world) look at this car. Now.. how bout those savvy adver saying be your 1st lotus car owning a savvy!!! how does that sound to the rest of the world? now we know. we just bash it just like how the rest of the world laugh at savvy's adver… LOL
looks cute
After scanning thru the comments posted here, i can only feel sorry for the mentality and attitute possessed by the majority of the bloggers here..( are most Malaysian like this ? ) Why need to be so sarcastic and contemptuos of something which we not even know very well ?
All great car manufacturers (human being as well ) have a very humble beginning, are you all aware how's American reaction towards Japanese and Korean car manufacturers when they first landed on their shore ? Now you just look at the quality of cars produced by these oriental manufacture and the profit they netted as compare to the plight faced at the moment by GM and Ford….so, who's laughing now ?
My point is that it doesn't really matter how's the quality of your pioneer product, more importantly if ones can learn from mistake, progress and improve with time as shown by established big players like Toyota, Honda and Hyundai…can anymore dare to bet that the Chinese won't be capable to join this list of elite manufacturers in another 20 years to come ???
malaysian, typical malaysian. i am so sorry to say that. i dont blame them for condemning other brand. Because these people are so afraid of competitor. so used to being jaguh kampung. i am a malaysian and i am so shy to say that i am one of them. Because of these few rotten eggs that tarnish the actual malaysian.
These people looked so uneducated, and i think these people are still in the third world country and please for you reader out there. Please understand and forgive these rotten eggs. Not all malaysian are like that.
you are right, Mickemouse….our country don't need first class infrastructure but third world mentality.
if u look closely, the shape of the car is almost exactly like the Chevy Aveo sedan (previous model). once again, a Chevy is turned into a Chery… SO SAD……
Holy Toledo!!!!…What a weird exterior design. But the front looks ok to me. Hmmmm however this car does remind me of the Mazda 121/Demio.
i just noticed something… thats the new vios front bumper.. lol
Sutera are the fugliest cars on the road. I dun get how pple can buy a sutera. yucks! make that double yucks! Add this QQ nonsense and you'll get another fugly car on the road. Comparing my rm6K charade aura and the rm30-odd sutera, looks wise and performance wise, I can't help but pity those sutera drivers. Have fun!
i've seen pics of this car online… it's a heavily modified Aveo. just like when they copied d spark… just need to wink a bit. note the doors
What makes you say that one's taste has got anything to do with his mentality? Am I supposed to like this car if I think it is ugly? Am I a chauvinist if I say one car is uglier than the other? It simply doesn't make any sense! And please tell me, what has any of these got to do with being afraid of competitors? I am – and I believe most of us are – DYING to own imported cars without breaking a bank. At the end of the day my friend, it all boils down to taste. I have a taste for decent-looking cars. I also have a taste for quality and reliability, but I wouldn't buy a high-quality car if it is butt-ugly. Anyway, I wish Chery all the best for the future. I admire them for their bold move, and I believe that one day they will come up with ground-breaking designs.
This QQ6 looks unique but my feel is, it's ugly… but maybe others will feel it's pretty… Eveyone have their own taste.
ugh looks like a bug on wheels!
Blueks!!!! Kanasai!!! So ugly!!!
To Yiamo & Mickey Mouse. I agree to both of you besides Chery is selling their car at lower price. Enjoy the unique style. I test drive it. Pretty good with full options. Crash test has passing mark.
Cons : I dont feel the strength of underchasis parts, like bushing, joints, and suspensions.
I have that car I think is important to Know more about this car, in my country we need parts of machine and we can supply them.
it's a nice car with trivial defects which are pardonable…
Good design and could be attractive to the old age customers
