The Chery A5 is a compact sedan produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery from 2006 to 2010, based on General Motors J platform and facelift of Daewoo Lacetti. This car heavily resembles the Nissan Altima and Maxima, despite being unrelated. A facelifted variant of the A5 called the Cowin 3 was produced from 2010 to 2013.
Specifications
The car is available with three engine options: a 1.6-litre engine, a 1.8-litre engine or a 2.0-litre engine. A hybrid version, named Chery A5ISG or A5BSG, is also produced. It is considered to be the first Chinese-designed mass-production hybrid vehicle. It is equipped with safety features such as ABS, EBD and ESP.
