Here are the first two photos of the Qoros brand’s second production model that was teased earlier, the C-segment Qoros 3 hatchback. Essentially a hatchback version of the Qoros 3 Sedan, it will debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in March this year.
There are visual changes to the front to differentiate it from the sedan – it has a new front grille, front bumper and fog lamps to create a bolder look for the face. On the rear, other than the obvious hatchback tailgate instead of a sedan boot, there is a new tail lamp design.
The Qoros 3 hatch will also get an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system called Qoros MMH. It supports multi-touch control. Optional is QorosQloud, which delivers a comprehensive suite of free-for-life services with 3G connectivity, including vehicle monitoring, social networking and enhanced navigation.
Under the hood is the same engine range as the sedan – 1.6-litre naturally-aspirated and turbocharged engines and six-speed manual and dual-clutch automatic transmissions.

Before you bashers say that China cars are now better than Proton, think again. Qoros is half Chinese, half Israeli. Proton is 90% Malaysian, 10% Lotus. Qoros is not a true Chinese effort, China still hasn’t ‘arrived’ yet. Give them a few more years and they will, of course.
So please think before bashing.
It’s not about the racial ownership. Proton established back in 1983 and Qoros in 2007. Is Proton 24 years better than Qoros? Not quite.
If this car is half Israeli, then this car is haram. We as Malaysians must try not to buy anything made by Jews. Haram kereta ini!
Don’t use FB, computers, smartphones it’s all haram Jews products. Go pindah live inside the cave OK.
The Jews and Chinese hated German and Japanese so much that they build a car to compete with them.
Haram abah koo…narrow minded..like perkosa katak
that is his own opinion, no such thing as kereta haram.. but one cannot denies that jews r brilliant bunch of people but israel zionis r damn brilliant evil m*****f*****..
Intel CPUs are also developed in Israel… I believe the Pentium M was developed there, which formed the basis for the Core CPUs…
Kereta Haram. How to buy when our own passports ban us from going to Israel?
But lots of Israel-originated firms got offices/branched here especially in Cyberjaya. Kick them out also?
What company?
This car Made in China, sure to blow up one day. You trust China products? Susu bayi pun ada racun kat China and China tak kisah.
Please use ur own ID!
Dude, almost everything now is made in or assembled in China.
u r not the real kzm..
Even worse only ownership is 50%. Managers, engineers, designers are mostly europeans.
For any car manufacturer to excel, first of all competent and capable people must be hired to enable the company to progress in the competitive industry. It is in the manufacturer’s best interest to hire capable persons regardless of their race and nationalities.
What’s the point of hiring a Malaysian designer if we don’t have the requisite expertise in car designing? If the europeans have the relevant expertise, just hire them – at least they can help to groom a team of competent local designers during their tenure with the company!
IMHO, Proton is a lost cause, at the expense of the rakyat.
Kia hire a foreigner as CEO. Proton still jaguh kampung mentality?
Balik makan kangkung!
Well, no differ with all the Koreans isn’t it? Koreans also bought the entire European to design cars for them. So both China and Korean are walking on the same wave now.
But do remember that potong is joint venture with Mitsubishi at the beginning where should be 80% “Japan” and 20% “malaysia” during that period.
Current market is depend how competitive ur car is, how young or fresh ur company are will not be an excuse! That the fact!
Proton is 90% dreaming syok sendiri, 10% effort.
Thomas Edison once said, Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration, however in DRB and proton case, it is 1% perspiration and 99% dreaming that they are the best.
Mod abit, DRB and proton case, it is 1% perspiration and 1% dreaming that they are the best and 98%….. aaaaaaahhh, just rebadge lah! Lol
Ya ya ya…everything is bolehland related is junk, not gud, bad, dreaming, suck,…other better better a billion times….lol
Aero surely 100% blind macai unable to see Proton as a failure.
in reality qoros was set up only in 2007 n they hv already came out with these kind of world class vehicles. Sadly proton is 30 years old…what hv they produced?
These makes qoros really awesome.
Than most other chinese car maker should maloo oso la…since they form earlier than qoros
Yeah took them 6-7 years only to produce such world class vehicles! So this mean… Your Toyota also lousy la… took them 60 years to produce hybrid cars! and until now they cant produce flying car ! What a shame lor… Oh btw, Proton took 32 years to produce hybrid… so is that mean Proton better than Toyota lor… hahaha
They’ll reply “ingat buat keter macam goreng pisang?”, “you so smart, go design your own car la!”
See, people bash, people give input, tak mau dengar. I said before proton fc so bad, can’t even beat vios, they say i stupid to compare 1.6 turbo with 1.5. They say should compare with 2.0, I say compare with mazda skyactiv, they call me stupid hahahahahahaha
Tak sedar diri, duduk dlm tempurung diorang!
The world is changing outside, see this Qoros can produce safest car in the world (euro ncap 2013’s best scorer). And they can be content with just ancap, not much else.
can i bash by saying, this is an israeli junk, that is why they are not producing it in israel. hehehe
I not want to bash, but when i see it….i want to sleep.
Proton perdana = honda accord without honda logo.
90% malaysian, 10% lotus. Hahahah
To develop an entirely Malaysian Perdana would be idiotic. Sales figures would never, ever justify the expenditure. Other, way bigger car makers wouldn’t so that either, unless they want to show off what they can do. Like VW with the Veyron. (They did something stupid and developed the Phaeton, which I’d say was a flop). Typically if they want to extend/fill a segment with not big enough sales/too little expertise in that area they will rebadge too. Even Mercedes. Even the Japs.
Proton design is 10 years lagging if compared with Qoros. Doesn’t matter who are the owners, the design matters.
So please open your eyes lah Aero, OK budak mentah.
Ya, what about proton simply rebadge honda and mitsubishi? since 1980s?
even with rebadging a mistubishi proton can still f*ck up brilliantly with their sales with the inspira.
So no, at least this is a 100% all new effort from the two countries. How many people bought a proton pervert out of this country? 5?
The amount of hype this car is getting just based on its looks, im guessing its going to sell like hotcakes.
Proton so shame la…
proton fans pls dun say Proton 90%malaysia and 10% lotus….. because proton still got rebadge old Honda Accord and mitsubishi …hahahaha
Qoros:
The base car which uses a normally aspirated 126 PS/155 Nm 1.6 litre VVT petrol engine mated to a six-speed manual cost just RM64k, and the top spec gets goodies like a turbocharged 1.6 litre engine doing 156 PS/210 Nm mated to a six-speed dual clutch gearbox.
90% or 50% or whatever.. i know proton is improving, but at a very slow rate.. thats the problem. pls work 24/7.. faster proton faster.. if not u will die.
ooohooo,,,looking better than our suprima …
Everything p1 do is ugly…other do ok
Suprima is better
but the fact that they did this in 6 years is what makes them awesome…what has Proton done in 30 years?
In 30 years Proton is all but a suffering to 30 million rakyats.
Look how Qoros can get its design right at first attempt. Flawless and delicate design.
Unlike Proton given another 30 years still the same old crap design lah…
Design is subjective. Love it or hate it. But then I bet that if this car has smaller wheel arch & smaller wheels, it would not look as handsome at it currently is with 18 inch wheels.
Proton’s exterior design is already good, except that they have to polish the interior design and fit & finish.
“they have to polish the interior design and fit & finish”
Ha Ha Ha cheap plastik kasar like batu pasir kah? Global car joke
Polish? more like junk it and get a proper designer to redo the whole interior….
Qoros never cried itself as global car this, global car that yet managed to showcase its cars in Geneva autoshow.
Proton don’t even care to show off at KLIMS autoshow, own backyard! Small booth space konon! What, Proton got 20 concept cars kah? PFFTTTTT
If I recall correctly actually they did.
Whatever you say…. still better than a Preve! So what its half Chinese and half Isreali…. both of them dont make cars whereas Malaysia has been doing it for 20 years….. :p
….With Gerd Volker Hildebrand, who helped redesign the Mini brand for BMW AG. + Mr. Roger Malkusson, head of design, comes from Sweden’s defunct Saab Automobile AB, and helped hire people from the likes of Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen to Qoros….and having Qoros 3 scoring high in Europe NCAP safety rating, Qoros 3 is also designed out from Munich design center. The Chinese part is chery 50% money and Israel corp chip in the other 50%. …and made in China
Suprima S is way better than this junk, guarantee!!!!
The “S” on Suprima S stands for “Sucks”! Balik kampung la Jaguh Kampung!
Proton’s then Senior Director Operations, Dr. Wolfgang Karl Epple revealed that the Prevé was developed by an international consortium consisting of experts from Malaysia, Italy, France, Germany and South Korea.[1] Additionally, several components of the car are also sourced from Japan, South Korea, Australia and Europe. “If you put global ingredients in the components, people, processes, styling and packaging, you get something which is global.”, Epple commented…source : wikipedia
Yes it’s a global team experts, but still design is outdated, lame and trying too hard to imitate VW European design kononnya. Har har har
Malaysian need about 25 years to get 5 star crash rating cars (Preve and Suprima). China and Israel need only 7 years using German brain and technologies as proxy.
Still, they got 5 star ANCAP right? Ur toyota dugong got?
Aaah people have already started to judge & compare this with Preve, while even journalists have neither drive nor gave any verdict about this car. By the looks, it is definitely handsome due to those 18 inch wheels & balanced proportion. But, does it handle & rides well? Reliability, interior fit & finish? fuel economy?
I reserve my judgement until some expert journalists rate this car. Malaysian motoring followers are pretty divided: Perodua fanboys kutuk Preve, Proton fanboys kutuk Vios, arrogant SamLoo & Toyota fanboys kutuk Kimchi, Japs fanboys kutuk VWs/Pugs etcs. Stereotyping & halo effect. In our country, no car is miles better than the other within the same segment. Tepuk dada, tanya selera.
Between this Qoros and Preve which one you choose if both RM64K?
Ha Ha Ha your answer will prove your hypocrisy!
IF 64k, listen listen listen. IFFFFFF.
between this BMW and Qoros which one you choose IFFFFFF both rm64k?
your answer will also prove your hypocrisy!
Obviously China will progress much faster in any area they wanted to! They are a pragmatic lot. To them it doesn’t matter if it is a black cat or white cat or a yellow cat. As long as it catches the rats then it is a good cat. Here we now talk about Kereta Haram, Kereta Halal, Kereta Yahudi…….bla bla bla. Always got stuck in a deep pit!
In the end, the final product that matters, this Qoros does deliver, in terms of safety, the best of 2013 tested in Europe, quality wise, you can judge by yourself. Instead of bashing better products, why don’t us Malaysians improve ours.
It took Proton 20 years to produce 5 star safety rating car (Preve and Suprima). It takes China and Israel company 7 years by using German brain, Engineer and technologies as shortcut.
Just cover the front end and rear end. Nobody will noticed either its Q3 or SS.
It depends on our G. If they allows it, somebody will buy it. If not, only die hard fans will find all the trouble to get it. Well, its not my money anyway.
Of course govt not allow Qoros to be sold here:
– RM64K price, it will kill Proton
– Jewish product, it’s haram
Any other silly stupid excuses? Add to the list
This is how the Preve and Suprima should have been designed
And still Proton dare wanna sell it to UK market…eiiii malu nya with weird outdated design
this article sadly shows how some are incredibly narrow minded…where race,religion r attached to everything….carfe good or bad doesnt matter , bt some replies are so dumb…
nice car but my fat ass can’t fit in the back seat of this
Without help frm the chinese Qoros wont make it.
why the interior looks like preve/suprima interior.
Qoros 3 is the safest car in the world says Euro NCAP 2013 Dec. What else have you got to say…..
OK sell it here RM64K price…tolong rakyat mah jimat duit beli kereta
Eh jangan…MITI cakap tak boleh…nanti Proton bankrap
Wow this is a stunner for the price. Cant get any better. Looks like evogue back abit. Damm handsome. Cant wait to hear the review by car critics..
