New independent automotive manufacturer, Qoros, has taken the wraps off the GQ3, the first of a family of all-new models designed and developed by an international team of specialists specifically for markets in China and Europe.
The new model from Chery`s premium division is a C-segment saloon that introduces design themes and styling features that will define the unique brand identity across the forthcoming family of Qoros models. The GQ3 features an elegant exterior, a spacious, feature-packed interior and is engineered to achieve top European and Chinese crash test ratings.
The GQ3 has a sporty, elegant profile with a long wheelbase, short overhangs, a coupé-like silhouette and a roof that flows smoothly into the strong rear quarters. A prominent matt aluminium strip above each side sill adds to the visual stretch of the side profile, with muscular arches, accommodating alloy wheels up to 19-inch in size.
The GQ3 will offer generous interior space, and the horizontally arranged ‘floating’ dashboard will further enhance the impression of space in the cabin. In its ergonomics and quality, the Qoros GQ3 sets new standards for cars produced in China and will be comparable with the best-selling cars in Europe.
Prominently occupying the GQ3’s central console is the innovative eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system that represents an automotive industry first. Replacing the array of switches and buttons that blights many modern car interiors, the capacitive touchscreen enables users to manage entertainment, navigation, ‘Cloud’ connectivity and in-car networking functions with intuitive finger ‘swipe’ movements that will be familiar to smartphone users.
The car’s structural architecture incorporates the latest developments in the field of crash safety. In addition, occupants are protected by a comprehensive package, including front, side and curtain airbags, as well as seatbelt restraint systems.
