The Chery Arrizo GX (艾瑞泽GX) is a compact sedan produced by Chery. The Arrizo GX was based on the Chery Arrizo 5 and debuted during the 2016 Beijing Auto Show.[1] The Chery Arrizo GX was formerly known as the Chery Arrizo 6 during development phase, and was planned to be positioned between the Arrizo 5 and the Arrizo 7.[2] Prices of the Arrizo GX ranges from 79,900 to 106,900 yuan.[3]
History
The Arrizo GX is a mid-size sedan (C segment) which is positioned within the manufacturer's range between the more compact Arrizo 5 and the large Arrizo 7. It was developed starting from the Arrizo 5 by taking up the same basic chassis and the same skeleton as the bodywork but has engines and an unprecedented exterior and interior design.
Aesthetically, it was differentiated from the compact sister by introducing the new stylistic family feeling of the house with the muzzle characterized by the large black X-shaped grille that extends from the lights to the lower bumpers, the headlamps and the fog lights are LED, also the tailgate rear with a chronograph band that runs horizontally. The doors remained the same as in the Arrizo 5 but the chrome frames along the arch of the windows were changed. The drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.28.
The cockpit is completely new both in the dashboard skeleton and in the setting that eliminates almost all the buttons leaving only the essential one, the main controls are part of the new 7-inch infotainment system with touchscreen with integrated navigator, 360 degree video camera, radio and 4G internet connectivity, bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The climate controls are integrated into a second 8-inch LCD touchscreen. The instrumentation is mixed with two circular dials for speedometer and tachometer and in the middle a 9-inch LCD screen that can reproduce the navigator or other multimedia system functions such as the rear view camera.
The presentation of the car took place at the Beijing Motor Show in April 2018 while sales in China started in October. From 2019, it is also exported to the Middle East and Latin America where it is sold as the Chery Arrizo 6.
Chassis
the car is based on a modular chassis (M1X platform). The front brakes are a ventilated disc and the rear ones a disco. All models available with six airbags, ABS and EBD, stability and traction control as standard. The body was made with high resistance steel of 1600 MPa in the frontal area and in the A and B pillars, and with a programmed deformation steel in the rest of the skeleton.
The engine range at the debut consisted of four 1.5 Acteco 16-valve petrol 4-cylinders delivering 118 horsepower in the naturally aspirated version and 156 horsepower in the direct injection turbo version combined with a manual and 5-speed gearbox or automatic CVT with the possibility of nine-ratio parameters in sequential mode.
In 2019 a third engine, the 1.6 Acteco TGDI turbocharged 16V direct injection, with 196 horsepower and combined and a new seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission managed by Getrag is added.
