The Qoros 3 Sedan has been launched in the China car market during the 2013 Guangzhou Auto Show.

The price starts at 119,900 yuan (US$ 19,700) and ends at 167,900 yuan. Qoros Auto is a new brand, born out of a joint venture between Chery Automobile and Israel Corporation. The Qoros 3 Sedan is their first car, soon to be followed by a Qoros 3 hatchback.

The Qoros brand will be launched in Europe as well, the roll out will start around 2015. Before that Qoros wants to gain some mass and money in China. The complete Chinese automotive press is very positive about the Qoros 3, so it seems off to a good start.

The Qoros 3 Sedan is available with two engines - a 1.6-litre with 126 HP and 155 Nm and a 1.6-litre turbo with 156 HP and 220 Nm, both mated to a six-speed manual or a 6-speed DCT.

Qoros is also working on a 130 HP three-cylinder 1.2-litre turbocharged engine which will join the line-up later.

Dimensions - 4,615 mm / 1,839 mm / 1,445 mm and the wheelbase is 2,690 mm.

Wheels fit perfectly in the wheel-arches. The Qoros 3 Sedan does not come with small tyres. Boring colors are the new trend in China, we see many brown and gray and this Qoros is painted in a mix between gray, dark gray and bland. What has happened to red, yellow and blue?
