Chery A6 Coupe in second half of 2008

Chery A6CC

Chery’s new Chery A6 Coupe will go on sale in the second half of 2008. The front wheel drive coupe was based on the Chery A6CC Concept shown at Shanghai 2006.

It is built on Chery’s new B2 platform, and has a wheelbase of 2700mm. The original concept had a 3.0 liter V6, but for the production version three engine options are available - a 3.0-liter V6, a 2.4-liter V6, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine.

Read the linked post below for more photos of the A6CC Concept.

    3.0L V6. Any indication on the power output?
    I guess around 220BHP +. If its engineered well, I’ll be interested to see how well it competes with the Integra, Celica and Eclipse.

    If this car same price with Satria Neo, for sure i’ll go for Neo.
    Only one word i could think of this car. “WEIRD”

    Very similar looking as the Neo, only wider on the fenders.

    The lights look similar to the Nissan cars today i.e. Latio, Livina..

    It would be a smack on the face for Proton if this car ever come to MY.

    Its not a bad looking car though. wanna see how the butt looks like.

    If Chery Malaysia imports this model and sells it for less than RM70k, it’ll be the next cheap coupe, just like the early Proton Putra. XD

  15. cecibo said,

    January 3, 2008 @ 11:24 am

    i do sense some similarity to neo (a very good looking proton), only the major leap forward is the engine, for about just 10 years of existents but capable producing some goodness…

    This car only caters a small market segment in Malaysia. I doubt it will sell well if it is introduced here..

    At risk of calling everyone a cheapskate (LOL), it will sell well if its cheap enough.

    With a good engine, it will appeal to performance or younger people with limited budgets. Looking half decent cant do much bad either. Follow the link in the post and you will see the rear end pictures.

    In the same flavour of the Putra, although that car, however good it was, was about 10k more than the market demographic it was targeted. Same goes to the GTI.

    The only thing I see resembling a Satria is the colour…..

    Now the party piece, knowing the chinese, its probably compatible with a lot of engines “from other people…”.

    Looks almost like an Infiniti. I say it’s a very good effort from a company that’s only 10 years old. Chery only started production in 1999 and by 2003, they were already designing their own cars and are now working to produce 18 engines! Proton supporters who kept on moaning that Proton is a “young” company should look at Chery and STOP saying Proton is young! Proton should feel the presure of global competion to improve, not protected and be complacent as they have been for so many years.

    Some of curve line looks like Satria Neo…. bravooo….

  25. cecibo said,

    January 3, 2008 @ 3:46 pm

    Chery , 10 years consider to be young but capable of producing 18 engine is some huge gap, but point is right now is how well are all those were made, how reliable it is and this may refer back to quality issue, but have to admit it is productive…,

    Proton, which turn 22 this years of production (correct me if i’m wrong) has just producing 1 engine (with help from lotus) yet they still concentrating on some parts, still researching in terms to deliver a well made engine and that’s good at some point

    but automotive world is a fast growth world nowadays more challenging & demanding, and taking through that matters, Proton seems a bit too slow

  26. legacy88 said,

    January 3, 2008 @ 6:01 pm

    Much better styling than S Neo, but the rear exhausts are really hideous. Yuck!

  27. cole planet said,

    January 3, 2008 @ 6:11 pm

    Proton should produce bigger cc engine such as 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 with turbocharger.

    Anyhow the car look good… hope fully it’s cheap (haha so i can buy hahaha)

  28. BigFish said,

    There are still sceptic from those die hard proton supporter who are always perceiving Proton have a better build quality than Chinese made car.

    Time will come (after 2010) our market will be flooded with Chinese makes and Chinese assemble (Japs or Conti car). This may included rebadge Europestar (Gen-2) or other Proton models.

    We have to be more realistic, Proton is our Jaguh Kampong and the Chinese will dominate manufacturing sector on the world scale for all kind of products and services.

    China is the superpower of 21st century, at least economically, if not militarily.

    So, those die hard supporters and blind defenders alike, don’t “yucks-hu-hu-ha” about Chinese products as they give value for money. They won’t sale low quality at high price. You want quality, they quote you “quality price” yet still competitive, and vice-versa.

    How great…they manage to squeeze neo and cls design into one. Unfortunately it doesnt fit properly…notice the uneven gap between the hood and grill.

    How about crash safety? Since Cherry or Geely or Brilliant failed miserably on that area. Would you buy one?

    give me 10 cherry cars.. even if they cost a mere 10 cent each. i dont think i will ever want to buy it. And.. they are not even cheap.. at all.. a silly chery, copied down 100% costs 40K. i’d rather buy a proton. BTW, does chery make its own engine? for as far as i remember, they put a toyota engine in their geely.. hmmm..

    this car really have neo’s styling cue..

  39. KL-ATR said,

    January 4, 2008 @ 11:24 am

    @mejaneujoe, Yes, they’re designing engines with an Austrian company. FYI, Geely is ANOTHER Chinese manufacturer. Chery’s first partner in 1999 was with the Spanish company Seat.
    ——–

    After looking at a couple of Neo in my rear view mirror yesterday, I have to agree that Chery has copied quite a bit of Neo’s design.

    The die hard proton support and blind defender bouught Chinese toy car and it can spoil easily, then they perceive the real car have same quality as well. How many of them who complaint about low quality is actually purchase Chery QQ or China makes in Malaysia?
