Really nice looking vehical, love it, and only 99 999 RMB sweet, too bad its not in Canada. The only thing that gets me is the name, i mean "eastar"???, dont you mean easter as it the egg? i know the original name is oriental son and theres lots of blah blah blah about it but i dont think changing the name to eastar would kill it especially if it wants to come to north america. and i know the chinese name is dong fang zi zhi or something (dont really know alot about pingying) and they want to making it feel really chinese style car, or very long de chwan run (again i suck at this pingying/ zhuying stuff). but i think if chery wants to go international, it better start with good names not like A11 of S12 etc, but actually names such as gallardo,aveo, or enzo.

99,999RMB is for the manual transmission with no leather, sunroof, or foglights. For an automatic with leather, sunroof, and other options is going to cost more.

$15,737.95

Well, you could buy a 2006 Daewoo Magnus(redesigned for 2006) for that money. In other word, no price difference between Korean production and Chinese production.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/07/2006_Chevrolet_Epica.jpg

Actually, Daewoo version comes with a 6 banger instead of a 4 banger, so Daewoo version is technically cheaper.

The chevrolet spark cost $1000 more than Chery QQ. For $1000 more you don't get alloy wheels, power w/dl/s, alarm security system, keyless entry, 4 speaker cd stereo, tachometer with digital odometer. Anyone who buy Chevrolet spark is crazy to pay more and get less features.

What's a SVW Passat doing in a Chery forum ?

Real_I_Hate_China
07-02-2006, 08:15 PM
But for that price does Daewoo come with leather seats
That Son of Orient doesn't have leather seats. Clearly vinyl seats.

sunroof
$450 Extra

power win/dl/s
Standard

alloy wheels
Standard

climate control
Standard

power drivers seat
I don't know about this one.

8 speaker stereo
6 speaker stereo standard

traction control
I don't know about this one.

on board computer?
A trip computer standard

And there are a number of other features not on Son of Orient, like power folding side mirrors, dual airbags, a 6 banger engine standard, etc. So Daewoo is actually a better value than a Chery, thereby proving that Chinese auto manufacturing doesn't really have the cost advantage that many Chinese falsely perceive to have. This was already testified by companies like Honda and Hyundai building cars in China, but Chinese find it hard to believe.

This is the reason why GM imports 1 million+ cars/year from Korea and not from China.

The chevrolet spark cost $1000 more than Chery QQ.
That's because Chinese market Spark has a higher quality relative to QQ. And also add the 10% import duty and shipping on Spark(Spark is built from an imported knocked down kit). And GM likes to actually make some money on Spark, unlike Chery making $50 on each QQ sold.

Manufacturing cost wise there is no difference between a Spark and a QQ, although the Spark has higher quality.

I'm just wonder if the chery has a capability to make the change from the original model.:confused:

I used to drive a magnus as it was my father's car and now my younger brother drives it. Even the interior is identical and little bit change at the front gril and the front headlight. I think the chery would be able to get out from any legal issues by making some changes to it. But I don't see any of it and doubt if they're even able to make the change from the original one.

The attached pictures are the picture of used magnus 2000 yr version, which is for a sale. This car has a mileage of 190,000Km :eek:. For me, it doesn't look like just "inspired".


So,it's just my thought that the chery is building this car to gain some experience of mid size sedan, but I'll be suprised if they export this one:nono:

Hyundai also assembled the old version of Mitz pajero under the license(of course only for the domestic market) for 10 yrs in Korea. Then, they built the their own AWD called "terracan".

Actually from what I read in the Australian Wheels magazine, the old gen pajero underpins the Terracan, "Chassis wise I mean". The engines and other external and internal components all belong to Hyundai.

yeah.... I won't surprise if they did. Coz they never produced that class before rather than old version pajero. In fact, those AWD class in korea had been dominated by ssangyong, which is under shanghai motor now.

Anyway, I'm in Sydney AXLE. And I find that the review of Hyundai in Australia is quite mean compare to the review from US. What do you think?

Yeah they tend to endorse their own home-grown brands more such as Holden and Ford. Hyundai manufactures good quailty, nicely priced cars and I would definately take a Hyundai over a Holden. I don't really favor any modern GM vehicles apart from the Corvette.

The point that you don't get China_Real_hater blabla

Daewoo used to have dozens of factories around the world , including my country Egypt .

the problem is , when GM aquired Daewoo , IT DID NOT purchase/aquire all of the factories arround the world , leaving The Egyptian Factory ( Daewoo Motors Egypt S.A.E ) unmerged with GM , which pissed off alot of Daewoo dealers/factories around the world .

Our local factory is continuing to assmeble and manufacture the 1999 Daewoo Lanos and the 1999 Daewoo Nubira until THIS present day !

yes the old shaped nubira and the old shaped lanos ! bcuz they can't do anything else or else CLOSE !

so this is what Chery did I think , making deals with such factories for trading technology or car designs

because now Daewoo Motors Egypt , announced that 2006 will be the LAST year they make any more lanos and nubiras , and now they have gone into partnership with CHERY , making the SPERANZA brand .

assembling the Chery A5 and the Above Chery A6 ( called so here ) IN the daewoo facotry itself here !

thats GM fault for leaving unhappy clients worldwide ... if they would've purchased all the factories merged them under GM , none of this would have happened .

Imagine you owning a multi billion worth factory .. making a very popular and best selling car here ( the lanos and nubira were best sellers here , unlike the rest of the world ) and making really really ground breaking selling results ..

to find out that your mother company bankrupted and another american company took over and they dumped u in the woods .. for no logical reason at all

so companies like CHERY were like a miracle for such factory owners .. If they closed the factories .. thier clients cars will die and thier economy will die and a LARGE piece and i do mean LARRRGE piece of the Car Market in this country would've been damaged .. all thanks to stupid GM policies !!

so yes If I was chery or if was the owner of Daewoo .. I would've given them anything I can just to make my factory rolling again and selling !

in fact SPERANZA ( Chery / Daewoo ) is the first dealer in Egypt to have cars booked until the December 2007 ! ,, if they deliver the car on time , SPERANZA is gonna be the best selling car/brand in Egypt IN HISTORY !

i am totally with u ! :thumb:

and an other thing here

the new daewoo ( lanos ) / chevy ( aveo ) is very expenssive here in egypt and the optra too.

and i think it's just for the new brand (chevrolet) !!!:mad:

But, they never produced Magnus in Egypt nor factory at other countries. And Come on~~ for the business people........ the numbers on paper explain everything... the logic doesn't bring them any money... And may be the number was not good enough to run the factory in Egypt and others. In fact, a lot of korean lost their jobs after the bankruptcy.

Anyway, I don't care whether they copied or not as none of these cars are on the production. But the cherry got attention with QQ successfully in china.
And I wonder if they can produce the car that can keep the attention continuously

well my friend here is my opinion in A6

A5 1.6 engine 118 HP weights about 1190 KG
A6 2.0 engine 125 HP weights about 1460 KG

that means A6 will have a poor performance ( acclerating ) despite it has good torque 168/3000 ( only in low speeds )
In china since june 2006 they provide A6 Easter with 2.0 acteco DOHC engine with corporate with AWL which produces the A5 engine
why not to supply the a6 here in egypt with this advanced motor I dont know may be the deal to get the old technology mitsubishi engine 2.0 ( 1995 -1999 ) that only meets the euro2 emissions not euro4 as the acteco engine
if you asked anybody got this car i think he will never think what i am saying

well my friend here is my opinion in your chery Easter or oriental son or here in egypt A620 speranza


A5 1.6 engine 118 HP at 6000 rpm weights about 1190 KG
A6 2.0 engine 125 HP at 6000 rpm weights about 1460 KG

that means A620 will have a poor performance ( acclerating ) despite it has good torque 168/3000 ( only in low speeds )
In china since june 2006 they provide Easter with 2.0 acteco DOHC engine with corporate with AWL which produces the A5 engine
why not to supply the a6 here in egypt with this advanced motor I dont know may be the deal to get the old technology mitsubishi engine 2.0 ( 1995 -1999 ) that only meets the euro2 emissions not euro4 as the acteco engine
if you asked anybody got this car i think he will never think what i am saying

Hazik,

The pictures you uploaded showed the old Eastar which i drove 11/05- 3/03. My new (facelifted) Eastar, bought in 4/07 in Shanghai looks more like Martin's pictures, except the interior.

The slaggish-selling V5 series (V520, V525) has been rebranded as Eastar Cross (B 14) which went into production in 3/07. However, Eastar (B11) is an old model with EOP end 2008. The more promissing successor, the B12 - and for overseas markets the A6 (B21) - shall arrive at dealer end of year.

During my last stay at Chery operations i saw a SOP picture on the wall, indicating that the A6 (B21) are ready for production on 28.8.2007 ( on lucky day, two "8" in the date).

Cheers, Mike

Eastar sale is not good in China, but it may have a big market international special in mid-east and east europe area, so let's wait the A6 series which will cause a storm in the auto market.

Nice Chery what size is this model comparable with ?

Is it Audi A4/MB C-class or Audi A6/MB E-class in size.

It's size is more comparable with VW's Passat and Ford's Mondeo. But in China it is much cheaper than those two. The Chery will do around 13000$, while the other twe are closer to 20.000$. The shape is borrowed from the Daewoo Leganza, Chery also borrowed the QQ's shape from the Daewoo Matiz. How they exactly got the drawings is unknown.

Chery claims they got it legally when Deawoo was in it's worst financial shape. However, when GM bought Daewoo, they sued Chery about the QQ in China but lost. The didn't bother to sue Chery for the Leganza anymore.

Chery have been working on a secret vehicle for the past few months, a vehicle that has only just come to light! The vehicle in question is none other than a Chery Eastar convertible!

It appears that the B Pillar of the Eastar has been removed, and the overall length of car increased, presumebly to fit the roof in and neaten up the exterior appearence. We cannot guess what time, or if, the Eastar will hit the market, it could be that the ragtop Eastar is a a skunk project, a car which Chery are just developing to see if it can be done for the sake of it.

Chery has unveiled various soft top coupes in the past, but it appears none have made it to production as of yet.

Chery's smart marketing plan, this space launch is one of the most high profile event in China this year even possibly in China's history, and the welcoming back parade sure will attract a lot of onlookers, people, so using Cherys will sure attract more buyers and somehow increase Chery's prestige and quality standing, like saying " look even Chinese government now confident with Chery to use it instead of Mercedes or VW" . This also suggests that the Chinese government is really determined to make Chery a national champion in auto sector, and will do anything to pushi it into global stage.

Chery Auto to launch Easter limo model in '09

December 26, 2008

Shanghai, December 26 (Gasgoo.com) Chery Auto has decided to launch an all-new Eastar model -- Eastar limousine -- in 2009, said xinhuanet.com today citing a Chery insider. The limo model will sell from 101,800 ($14,900) to 128,800 yuan, more expensive by just 10,000 yuan than the old Eastar model.

Chery Auto has sold its Eastar (Son of East) cars for many years, but now the model is getting outdated and its sales are not promising in the increasingly competitve market. The source said that the Chery Eastar limo is an all-new revamp of the previous Eastar model and will feature many upgraded practical configurations.

The Eastar model of Chery Auto has targeted at the mid- and high-end market of business sedans, and in 2009 Eastar will present itself as an all-new limo in this market. In addition to a 2.0L automatic edition, a 1.9L diesel edition of Eastar limo will be released as well next year.

Its price will be 10,000 yuan higher than the old Eastar model now available for 91,800-118,800 yuan in the market. The all-new Eastar limo is expected to restore Chery Eastar to its former glory.

Hello everybody, I am manager of the automotive industry here in Spain. I wish to know when to reach Spain, France and Portugal extraordinary Chinese cars. The Eastar is a very cuality car for Euro Estandars!

I am really very pleasantly surprised with Chinese brands such as Geely, Chery and Brilliance. Nobody knows when they reach Western Europe?

P.D.Please if my message is wrong, ask the moderators of this wonderful forum, I move my post. Thank you!

Hi guys

I'm from KSA and i have Eastar for daily usage it powered by 2.4 Mitsubishi engine.. it looks great, performance is fine but that's not enough for me and i wanna increase some hp by installing a K&N air filter. So, anyone can tell me if a Mitsu Galant's air filter can fit on my Eastar?

Thanks

Chery will continue selling Eastar as Cowin E5:
http://www.autohome.com.cn/news/201101/168192.html

Recently, the network exposed Chery facelift Eastar model undisguised spy, according to the message before, the car will be included in Cowin series in the following, and is likely to Cowin E5 title sales.

Spy photos from the class to see the car before the appearance did not do too much with respect to change, we can identify by the end of that, spy photos of the vehicle used is a 1.8L displacement engine. And likely future use of CVT transmissions to carry a new car.

Inside, a look rough and did not feel any big change, Chery was carried out in detail adjustments, especially admittance of a significant expansion of the opening frame and added a cup of mineral water placed worse. More info We will continue to pay attention.
