Re: Chery Riich5 (B13)

Looks like 14 inch wheels. Much too small for this big people mover. They contrast sharply with the big bold front grille and fascia.

Re: Chery Riich5 (B13)

it looks striking to me. it's interesting to see the concept pictures and how it was made reality.

i would like to see the interior without wood grain. i'm not a fan of wood interiors.

Interesting news about B13 from carnewschina.com

Reports in Chinese automotive media indicate the B13 will be built in China by an army-owned factory and for the armed forces only. The vehicle will get a new brand name, a new logo, and a non-Chery engine.
The new brand name is Wei’er (威尔), it will be manufactured by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) ’5720 Factory’, which falls under the Chinese Air Force.

Did this end up happening?

No, those "Reports in Chinese automotive media" were a misinterpretation. What happened was that the 5720 Factory (the enterprise) was acquired by the Chery group and subsequently merged with Cowin Auto (for details see post). According to MIIT data, the WHJ code has been transferred to the Anshan Road factory in Chery's industrial complex in Wuhu ETDZ, now making the Cowin V3. The old factory near Wanli airbase does not seem to be producing any cars.
