Chery Goes To Iran
August 14, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
Remember Chery? The Chinese car manufacturer that is set to produce Fiat and Alfa Romeo vehicles in China, as well as already working with the Chrysler group? Still don’t remember? Maybe this video will jog your memory.
Expanding its market share in Asia, Chery has announced plans to setup shop in Iran, yes, George Bush’s favourite Axis of evil. The Chinese manufacturer is set to invest over $370 Million USD in Babol, Iran to sell more cars to the Asian market.
The Iranians will build the Chery S21 sedan (QQ6) by initially assembling the cars out of kits imported from China.
With Chinese cars not doing so well in Europe, Chinese manufacturers have decided to target countries with lower expectations for now. When will we see the first Chery in Australia? We don’t want to think about that.

Lets hope the Iranians tack on some spare parts of the Shir tanks (Khalid) to these peices of crap cars! They might not go as fast but at least it will stop any impact LOL….
Huh? – does that mean china is declaring war on Iran by stealth?
China had 3000 years but invented nothing. Lol
To AsianGuru,
Which planet did you come from? Did you know who invented paper, gunpowder, compass and even paper money (in ancient time people only believe in silver and gold). The Chinese, of course.
I thought paper was invented by the egyptians…papyrus??
FYI, the Chinese also invented printing and silk.
U cant invent silk! U discover it. Trivialities.
But the best thing to come out of China is MSG. Wow, the closest thing you get to watered down methadone.
Take it easy guies!!
Let something happened then fight! :)
Iran and all over the world have had more than 7000 years relation, before existing of more than 90% of the now a days countries!
Let’s do business!!
Reza Iran
Lets give Chery Motors a chance. People who wants to buy cheap can buy Chery. Imagine QQ6 with full options airbag, abs,& cd stereo for only about $6,660 here in Gulf. I test drive it pretty good and a/c is very good. But I dont feel the strenght of the underchassis parts like, strong bushings, and suspensions. Give it a thaught.
It’s funny that Chery is setting up shop in Iran when the Iranians are building the Peugeot 405 and 206,and the Dacia/Renault Logan.You would think that the Iranians would already be content with European technology,even though it is dated technology.
I really hope Chery can be sold and found everywhere on this planet. Because of its low quality, I can sell its parts as my livelihood. Definitely, I will never ever ever try to drive a “Chery” even if it is produced in Iran.
