Chery announces new small car line-up – Omoda C3, C2, C1; Chery T3, T2, T1; Jaecoo J3; Lepas L3, L2, L1

“The global scale of small cars is huge, but Chery lacks small cars today.” That was the statement put forth by Zhang Guibing, president of Chery International, during his presentation at the recent Chery International Business Summit this year.

To remedy this, Zhang announced that the Chinese automaker will introduce a range of small cars across all its export brands, namely Chery, Omoda, Jaecoo and Lepas. We’ll start with one that was introduced to us very recently, the Omoda 3 (or C3).

However, it won’t be smallest offering in the Omoda line-up, as there will also be a C2 and C1, which will presumably also be known as the Omoda 2 and Omoda 1 in selected markets. Zhang did not provide detailed information on these upcoming models or any of the others seen on the slide, but he noted that they will be fun to drive with dynamic handling. He added that they will also be competitively priced and be built on a dedicated platform.

Cronies & AP holders : We don't do that here. All maintain at RM100k!!!

Looks good.
But will the axles hold?

overdesign

wait... a 4.2m length SUV is A segment?

154%

yeah these will slaughter local car producers.

new Axia larger than 2nd gen Mybi

50k 3 yrs buang get another 50k new car

ewwww tak mau lah chery..lapsap

Kek or buy 50k p2 pakai 3 years trade in 40k owai

but new axia is only 3.8m length, mybi B- segment 3.9m length and WRV B- segment only 4.0m length...

cherry 4.2m length is A-segment?

ayam compuse

now you know why Geely is smart in acquiring 49% in Proton. they can basically exploit the Malaysian market and at the same time, eliminate other China competitors.

P2 should really collaborate on EV with Chinese companies. else their EV ownself build will be not worth the price.

Why Chinese company want to collaborate with p2? What’s in it for them

Copy hotwheels ke design tu

geely small car mana?

they already had Daihatsu/Toyota with them and the Japanese will deem P2 collaborating with the Chinese a betrayal and will definitely pull out of the existing partnership and with the partnership gone, 90% of P2's inventory will be gone too haha.

then P2 should just not participate in the EV market.

Will the cherry be using spot-weld rear axle?

But their product sucks la, people post emas car cannot start after 2 months use in remote dy

In secondhand dealer tik toker dont buy in cherry brand

The new P2 EV using readymade skateboard chassis and battery from Chinese company. Otherwise impossible to meet deadline of madani to have homegrown EV within 2 years.

Waiting for C4 cbu mongolia

Funny part is, that battery leasing nonsense gonna kill the demand instead.

itu machiam 12v battery kong only, a month ago already got someone kena, end up replace the DC-DC converter that used to charge the 12v battery from the high voltage battery.
but heard also may be related to software, as latest OTA update got mention some changelog about the DC-DC converter logic, so maybe before update got very small chance may kena this issue

Dont worry. Malaysia too many chives. These p2 fans will still buy no matter what.

Depends how they do it, I'm not giving judgement until I see the prices.

For example if can sell 50k and lease battery RM150 a month then maybe still jalan, if 90k and lease at RM500 a month of course will be no demand.

Actually if they bring in cars like hybrid kei car like aqua hybrid, priced it like 60-70k it would be instant hot cakes liao. Those grab driver would be the first to take it liao.

Why not RM18,888?

use and throw

100k is min for CBU?

CKD any price?

It will be successful.

Below 100k people generally are m40 and m40 wannabe. The market is huge.

And look at perodua design. The interior. Isss sooo fucking ugly

alot of people believe that pure EV is the way of the future so cannot blame P2 also want to capitalized on that.

given P2's record, it is very likely that they'd just end up borrowing one of Toyota's outdated EV drivetrain and plug it in. more cost effective and Malaysians generally don't care what's underneath as long as they "have it".

Chery weaken P2 and beli 49% share same shit la

based on tentative price of 90k for Myvi size EV without battery. is DOA.

Ap is just a A4 paper out of keyboard and printer , goverment can make 1000 new company crony if required .

Exactly this.

Even paying RM1 for the battery leasing per day is already nonsense.......

Currently I am expecting eMAS 3 instead of Perodua EMO.

From all i know, MY kenot have nice things. Sure these prices are going to be "nice".

Talk kok. How to get thru the min 100k price barrier for EV?

Prius C is actually Aqua. They did brought that in but the price..

As usual, it's just our AP and duty/tax problem.

Don't you realize they are now using more incentive and cashback to lower the price . Same like property style.

Because japan car makers sudah tak boleh

Geely: fear not. I activate the tongkat card!!!! Plus the combination import car tax card!!!!

Good, this is a capitalism world. Survival of the fittest.

Example?

There is no future for P2 if they want to develop their own EV, they simply r not competent lah. Better merge with a strong EV brand like BYD.

bang omoda is ICE car le

ofc p2 want to partner anybody that got tech. Im asking whats in it for CHINA side to partner with P2.

chery got ckd factory in shah alam

Your research not up to date.
Already Japanese car makers have collaboration with China Car manufacturer.
Example
Nissan with Dongfeng Motor Group Co.

Toyota collaborates with several Chinese companies, primarily in joint ventures for manufacturing and developing electric vehicles. These collaborations include partnerships with FAW, GAC, and Tencent.

Toyota also works with DiDi, China's mobility service leader, to develop next-generation BEVs and intelligent transportation systems.

sidetrack...why the big four china car companies (SAIC, FAW, dongfeng, changan) all never export to malaysia one?

Ada la. But mostly commercial vehicles.

Cars market maybe too small or too restrictive?

Last year these brands did launch a few cars but responds no good.

P2 new EV car already collaborate with China company, battery from CATL also.

The way i see Perodua has plan to slowly ditch the Japanese partner

Lel good imagination. The engine and gearbox plant in rawang is very megah. And to be part of the Toyota daihatsu ecosystem which don’t forget is still the largest car manufacturer in the world. Ditch them? That would be like concubine want to ditch the king to run off with an upstart warlord.

Not gonna buy cars from company who are too lazy to think of it's product's name.

Give me free I also dun wan

i want

Later have to buy separate insurance for axle

Which China company?

Gg if got P2 ev flood the market, everyone gonna fight for charger at petrol station

What’s wrong with the name Lepas? Lipas? Kachat?

Axia rahmah ftw

Lepas sound more familiar to SEA target market which the brand specially created for

from a basket of apples, there's bound to be a few bad ones. cannot be helped for something so mass produced. what's important is what Geely/Proton is going to do about it.

even BMWs have lemon cars but their company is swift in dealing with the fallout.

actually, i'm not looking forward to a pure EV P2 car - am more interested in a hybrid. like the ones in the HRV. i find that those are more mature and more practical.

BYD is one of the oligarchs in China, they benefit nothing from a merger with P2 which means P2 has to give in ALOT if they want to see a successful merger and given the ego/pride that our government has, 0 chance that this will happen.

then again, our "national car" manufacturers are no longer "national", it's basically rebadging and changing bodykits. both P1/P2 now become kedai abang already, in a nutshell.

what you said is irrelevant as you are talking about a brand new merger with no previous ties, i'm talking about an existing contractual relationship - perhaps even a breach of contract if P2 decided to do a "side-hustle" with other manufacturers.

i am aware that the Japanese has collaborations with the Chinese for sometime already (Changgan-Mazda), i just don't feel the need to bring it out because why? it is irrelevant.

so many models, they can focus or not?

Reliability p2 > chery far

MG under SAIC fyi

Good, more trash on the road

Omoda 5 for B40, Omoda3 for what?

china over capacity
