Qoros 3 City SUV 1.6T exhibits the top quality engineering and excellent safety standards
New Qorus SUV unveiled at international event
DUBAI, November 23, 2014
Qoros, an international automobile manufacturer, revealed its third series production car, the new Qoros 3 City SUV 1.6T, at the 2014 Guangzhou International Auto Show in China, recently.
The new compact City SUV is designed and engineered to appeal to consumers who are looking for a car to fit into their active, premium, city lifestyle. With distinctive, modern design it has the flexibility to balance the requirements of the urban commute with the pursuit of weekend leisure activities in the countryside.
Sitting 67mm higher than the 3 Hatch, City SUV drivers benefit from a more commanding driving position that delivers a sense of control, safety and security.
The higher ride height enhances driveability and manoeuvrability to give the driver more confidence on rough or uneven road surfaces.
Developed by an international team of experienced specialists and new, young automotive talent from China, the Qoros 3 City SUV 1.6T exhibits the top quality engineering and excellent safety standards with which Qoros is making a powerful global impression.
The City SUV is being manufactured in the brand’s new highly-efficient and environmentally-sustainable assembly plant in Changshu, 80km north-west of Shanghai, on the same production line as the 3 Sedan and 3 Hatch.
The new Qoros 3 City SUV 1.6T features a bold evolution of distinctive signature Qoros design cues, although aesthetic enhancements give the car a unique character and reflect the individualistic preferences of its target customers.
For the compact class, the Qoros 3 City SUV 1.6T features a comparatively long wheelbase (2694mm), generous width (1854mm), and a short rear overhang (815mm). These elegant proportions suit perfectly the vehicle’s bold, high stance (1504mm), distinctive body cladding and detailed styling.
At the front, additional cladding and a front skid-plate give the face a more rugged, masculine look. The round fog lights are set into boldly-contoured recesses that wrap around the bumper, details that provide energy and poise.
The side profile features bold wheel arches – defined by protective body cladding which continues along the side sills and doors – along with larger wheels and tyres and the larger two-part, two-colour roof spoiler.
The deep rear bumper (part body colour, part graphite) features twin exhaust pipes which are set into a new silver rear skid-plate to provide added protection when traversing poor road conditions.
Reinforcing its increased ride height, the City SUV is offered with large alloy wheels. As standard, 17-inch alloys are fitted on Active, Style and Style Plus models and 18-inch designs on the range-topping Excite model.
The Qoros 3 City SUV 1.6T will be available in a range of five exterior paint colours – all available without extra cost: Crystal White (solid), Starlight Black, Diamond Silver, Shimmer Grey and Sunrise Red (all metallic).
The new compact urban SUV is scheduled to go on sale before the end of December 2014 with prices starting from RMB140,000 ( $22,847 ). – TradeArabia News Service
