Chery Automobile Malaysia opened its largest 3S (sales, services, spare parts) showroom in Malaysia last Friday. The 110,000 sq ft facility, located in Section 13, Petaling Jaya, has 30 service bays and two car wash bays, and is able to accommodate up to 70 cars daily, with a wide variety of services ranging from night drop off service to an express servicing lane available.
The flagship outlet brings to a total 55 sales and service centres for the brand throughout the country. Apart from the new building, facilities and equipment, the brand has also invested in RM5 million worth of spare parts and 73,000 line items to meet growing demands.
The launch of the new facility also saw the introduction of the Eastar ST, essentially a kitted out version of the regular Eastar ES. New features include a new grille, LED running lights, a bodykit as well as some improvements to the interior material and trim. The vehicle, available only in a red exterior shade, goes for RM96,888 on-the-road.
Besides this, there was mention of the brand expanding on Malaysia’s role as its right-hand drive export hub. It is set to increase exports to Thailand, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka as well as have Pakistan join the list of export countries once its new plant – being built at a cost of RM250 million – is completed by 2015.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Buy me and you can smell RM2 shop everytime you enter into the car!!
Waah…the LED really looks like its done by after market shop…
wah… good news
very very good car
purplish DRL?..seriously?..
The LED lights really looks ugly, like it’s an after-market add on
If you have to put something on a car, better not do so half hearted, those DRL is like someone who is deprived of having them and decide to remove the headlamp cover and install sendiri.
Every car manufacturer had caught the the daytime running lights syndrome from the pioneer Audi on its A4. But some does it elegantly while others such as the Chery Eastar ST makes theirs look so ridiculous.
Oh my! Those LED running lights look… cheap. Like those Christmas deco lights.
That making 6 car maker produce car in Malaysia…proton,perodua, vw, pug, subaru n cherry…..not bad rite
nice cheapo LEDs there
Cinaman selling China products :)
Another Audi cheapskate wannabe…
I’m not entirely convinced by those LEDs, but the grille is indeed very nice! Suits the car very much.
They say Proton Exora is the best, it can even defeated Toyota Alphard..haha..
fugly… those China Chinese really need to hire good designers.
That DRL looks real cheap!
Keep supporting China things…mehh… no wonder “Malaysian Auto” are more “advance”…Rather than this better take Proton Exora Bold…
i wonder if the guy in the pic designed this car….
well…audi-ish center chrome style..with LED/DRL/wat ever its call….so lame……… and yeah..the red color suit wth their brand name CHERY..buah ceri merah maa…
cheap china car with cheap DRL haha… u pay peanuts u get monkey…
97K is not cheap bro…
No Name = No Reputation
That is one gay ass LED . Typical cheap Chinese quality
more and more car want the big grille design
cap ayam s40 wagon second generation.
Wat the fuck?! What kind if LED was tat? Look so ah beng. Typical ah beng car.
the LED reminds me that hari raya is just around the corner
Seriously considering replacing my Innova with Eastar Offers better ride, comfort, handling and gadgets. Just love the driving position and comfort of the back seat
ugly. exora bold is much much better.
Can Audi sue Chery for uglying the beauty of adopting LED headlight????I feel vomit when i look at the easter headlight, similar to accs shop cheap china pair of LED. suck!
Lost word to comment. Only can laugh. Hahahahaha.
the only car you can buy from china is a toyyy car. seriously
Guy, I am driving one of this… frankly…the car was not too bad…Its ok for the price you pay… It suits the middle income earner like me, just like the Exora. It just that Chery need to improve after sales like the service centre and the sparepart supplies to convince customer. However, with this news, it makes us, the owner, feel better and shows that Chery listen to the customer feedback.
laubeh ah beng aftermarket drl..
China products suck!
i kinda like all the comments.many stated they dislike the chinese invasion…i am still wondering why we like to comment up to the wall without being fair…perhaps commentors just like to agitate the invasion of china’s market in malaysia…like they had never played or own a chinese made toy before..the mentality of imported good from western are the best still controling our choice or am i just kidding ?
still china is producing I-phone which they have a huge estate for the employee…then could we just ignore the fact that the broadband a name like zte is actually in many houses…stigma of chinese makes is lousy is just a faint voice…
China currently the world 2nd biggest economy, technology coming up, they sent taikonauts to space recently. Which country can sent? Even Malaysia single astronaut have to pay taxi fare to go up. A lot of countries afraid the giant company will be #1. Your house modem, tv, handphone, ipad, pc are all made in China. Proton need government protection to survive. This MPV can be easily sold for 50 or 60K if not compensate toll paid to AP. If not cheaply made in China, you can’t enjoy the common modernity you have now. People use to laugh at Japanese & Koreans car…
Your huawei modem and your acer laptop are also made in china maaa,why so skeptical. If u have more money then u buy wish,stream or alphard la,not everyone rich like you all.
ya lo… why u all so LOL about this eastar maa… economic MPV for middle income. Exora just 1.6 compared to eastar 2.0 – Handling fuel speed brake Performance – Fuel Consumption
Better than exora? hahahhaa
Exora cfe have more fuel efficiency rather than 2.0 cherry. For handling, exora have lotus techno which u should try it by ur self. perforamance??? Turbo VS typical 2.0 china engine..try it n you know it. space?? exora of course. anyway..test drive before make that comment…
go malaysia! but remember chery is a built in malaysia too, pekan and johor factory. we learn from each other, both have their upside and downside. Turbo VS is only a ‘soft’ turbo and not full turbo in a sense. normally putting a turbo charged in an engine lower than 2.5 c.c is harmful in the long term. Tell me do you really need to go faster than 160 km/h NORMALLY WHILE CARRYING YOUR FAMILY on a highway?
Chery A lot problem,so think twice Workmanship out.
Which car no give you problem ????
Nothing is perfect…
all the technologies and the brand got pro and cont… if u like, u buy and used, if u don’t like don’t blame just give ur comment what’s need to improve…
For the Chery with the price of below 100k
u get …
-British Lotus tuning suspension.
-breaking system with ABS + EBD supplied by Bosch.
-Chasis supplied by Mitsubishi Grandis.
-ACTECO(AVL CHERY TECH. CORP)Engine is a continential Engine developed by AVL from Austria.
and a lot more feature wich is we don’t expect from china Brand…
more comment from people who don’t used chery…
personally i used my Chery almost 5 years… still in good condition …
I’m car dealer selling all brands and models… 017-2824669
Must not buy this car..
Extremely poor quality. Extremely low second hand valued. Super extremely unsatisfied every few month problems came and come for non stop. Eg. Gear box then suspension broke then radiator then auto cruise then change gear box then gear box change but still problems, then alarm system problems then power windows then Buber motor gone, then some accessories missing and somany need few day to list up. To the Malaysian don’t buy this car not even consider or look at this car.. If buy let buy local Malaysia car is really better than chery. Not take this advice will regrets and loss at lot of money…tq
I think you got a bad luck or your self got problem.
what we call is USER PROBLEM ….. :)
well many things now are now from china what? even go massage in puchong also got another ‘cherry’ from china.. now car also from china ma.. why afraid? this is cheap car..except for our tax not cheap..
The Chery Cars are actually not bad. Sure they are not Mercedes or BMW quality but you are not paying thoses prices or giving half in taxes. The problem is the Local Malaysian Customer service for Chery which is lousy, completely incompetant and useless. That is reason enough for not buying this brand!
