βWe are preparing product developments for the UK, because the electrification of the market is very fast,β he said.
Zhang, who is overseeing the launch of the Chery Omoda 5 in export markets, said Australia is not just important because it is right-hand drive. βIt is a highly developed market and has regulations that are similar to the EU regulations. So, it is important as a test market for the UK,β he said.The new SUV is powered by a front-mounted electric motor developing 201bhp and 295lb ft allied to a 64kWh lithium ion battery. Chery quotes a WLTP range of 280 miles.
Other recently launched Chery models identified by Zhang for new export markets, such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey, include the Tiggo SUV and Arrizo saloon.
