Nowadays, when it comes to "Qoros", I think many people are very unfamiliar, at least as far as I am concerned, the last time I heard about the Qoros model was about the "linkage cloud" car rental of the explosion network last summer.
Of course, if you are willing to open the search engine to look for it, the first sentence of the "Qoros" entry is: "Founded in 2007, Qoros is a Chinese automobile company created in China with industry-leading standards." The short history of development and the deafening slogan have given Qoros a touch of mystery to Qoros; but so far only Qoros 3, Qoros 5 and Qoros 7 models are on sale, which has put a layer of haze on the above terms.
In the eyes of many people, Qoros Automobile is one of the domestic brands focusing on technology, which is quite similar to its "old owner" Chery Automobile; however, the current situation of changing hands in danger and stagnating products once again gave people the illusion of "being shut down". Until the recent release of Qoros Auto's new models, Qoros 6 official pictures and product information, this ill-fated independent brand has returned to the public vision. The significance of Qoros 6 for the Qoros brand is like the existence of "savior".
Why? From the sales level, Qoros Automobile's annual sales in 2021 were 5234 vehicles, compared with 14604 vehicles in 2020, a year-on-year decline of 64.16%; for other car companies, such sales data is even difficult to share research and development, manufacturing costs, and dare not expect profits. Secondly, as far as the three models under Qoros Automobile are concerned, the latest model is the Qoros 7 listed in September 2020, which neither changes nor replaces, making Qoros' sales and research and development fall into a "dead cycle".
Because of this, Qoros 6 has been placed high hopes, and in terms of current product strength, it is also worthy of this expectation. First of all, Qoros 6 got rid of the existing family front face, the new car shape is more sci-fi, taking into account the elegance and atmosphere; at the same time, the fuel version and the pure electric version use different grille shapes, while deepening consumer cognition, it will also bring different visual enjoyment. What is even more rare is that the new car also has a sneaky shape and dynamic curves, bringing a refreshing and sporty design aesthetic.
Secondly, from the perspective of size, although the Qoros 6 is a "compact car" in the official definition, its length, width and height are 4800/1874/1460mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2820mm, which is fully comparable to the joint venture B-class car, and also well caters to the needs of the Chinese people in pursuit of large space. The last domestic car with such a cross-level size performance is still the Geely Xingrui that is still selling well today.
Finally, in terms of power, the Qoros 6 fuel version model will be equipped with a 1.5T+ 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, the maximum horsepower of 177Ps, the maximum torque of 260N·m, the official zero hundred acceleration time of 8.5s, which is remarkable in the domestic car market; the pure electric version will provide 52kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and 72kWh of ternary lithium pool two configurations, endurance of 450km and 600km, basically able to meet the needs of most people's cars.
In addition, the Qoros 6 also provides a wealth of intelligent configurations, such as facial recognition ID, intelligent driving assistance, and a head-up display on the pure electric version of the model. As for the interior design of the new car, as well as the specific price and experience, it needs to be further understood after the new car is launched.
Conclusion: Objectively speaking, if you change to a domestic brand such as Geely or the Great Wall, it is worth waiting for a model like "Qoros 6", but when you see the complaints of Qoros car owners personally experiencing "local 4S stores are gone" and "car dealers dare not collect car dealers in 6 years", I believe that most people will underestimate in their hearts. As netizens asked: "Does Qoros Still have the need for 'rescue'"? Maybe there is, but only relying on the Qoros 6 to launch a new car, it is far from achieving the desired effect.
