But there is no talk of sales yet
In Moscow, a pair of Arrizo GX sedans were photographed at one of the dealership centers. The photo was published by the resource «Chinese cars», it also suggested that the cars were delivered to Russia for certification tests. At the same time, a request was sent to Chery. The company confirmed that they were considering the possibility of introducing Arrizo GX to the Russian market, but a decision on this has not yet been made.
Arrizo GX — This is one of the versions of the mid-size sedan Arrizo 5, which is no longer sold in China. The dimensions of the car are 4710 × 1825 × 1490 mm, wheelbase — 2670 mm. The units are typical for inexpensive «Chinese» — The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine is combined with a CVT. In 2021, the Arrizo GX in the Champion Edition configuration was sold in China for 129.8 thousand yuan (1.65 million rubles).
Interestingly, this is not the first attempt to bring the car to the Russian market: in 2019, Chery twice announced plans to bring it to Russia. But whether the third attempt will be successful, one can only guess: a source of “Chinese cars”, familiar with Chery’s plans, doubts that the Arrizo GX will still go on sale. And the reason here is banal: Russians increasingly prefer crossovers to sedans.
