New Manufacturer? Caoa Cherry

[neil1jnr]

I am currently on holiday. A commercial came on TV advertising Caoa Chery cars, in Brazil.

I had never heard of them until now. Anyone know more about them? I assume sold only nationally in Brazil?

Chinese crap built in Brazil.

Don't underestimate Chery, they are the joint venture partner with JLR in China. They are the Honda/Datsun/Suzuki of the 70's

Chinese. Sold 1m cars last non c19 year. They've done copies of the Audi a3 amongst other stuff and have a 50/50 joint venture with jaguar land rover in China.
They sell cars all over the place; the Brazil ones you saw will have been made locally in another joint venture (caoa also has a joint venture with Hyundai to manufacture in brazil).
Their Brazilian plant was originally just chery but was basically a market failure locally, which is why they divested half of it.
