“Chery Launches High-Performance Version of Arrizo 8, Attracting Users with Enhanced Power and Luxurious Design”

Chery officially launched the high-performance version of the Arrizo 8 on July 12. The new car is available in three models, priced from 129,900 to 146,900 yuan. The introduction of the high-performance version provides the new car with increased power to attract a wider user base and will also be simultaneously launched in the EU market.

In terms of appearance, the new car features a stylish hollow and blackened front grille, reflecting the latest fashion trends. The split design of the side light groups, with a narrow and sharp upper light group connected by a chrome-plated trim in the middle, highlights the avant-garde and technological design style. The matrix-shaped fog lamps and added chrome-plated elements contribute to a sense of class and luxury. The raised front enclosure and black paint decorations further enhance the sporty atmosphere and overall luxurious look of the vehicle.

The body design showcases a visually impactful downward curve starting from the C-pillar. A straight upper waistline extends backward from the front fenders to the taillights, creating a cohesive and robust design that exudes strength.

At the rear, the quad-exhaust layout and through-type taillights enhance visual layering and the sporty ambiance of the vehicle. The new car has dimensions of 4780mm in length, 1843mm in width, 1469mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2790mm, positioning it as a compact sedan.

The interior of the Arrizo 8 High-Performance Edition adopts a classy brown style, with Nappa leather-wrapped seats and black walnut interior elements. The car is equipped with a Qualcomm 8155 chip, providing faster boot experience, richer voice commands, and 3D visual interaction. Additional features include a 540° transparent chassis and Sony 12 speakers.

Powering the new car is a Kunpeng Power 2.0TGDI engine, delivering a maximum power of 254 horsepower (187 kW) and a peak torque of 390 Nm. The transmission system utilizes a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

In the Chinese market, where new energy vehicles dominate, the compact 2.0T “hot hatch” like the Arrizo 8 is considered a rare gem. As Chery’s flagship sedan, the Arrizo 8 boasts an excellent exterior design, luxurious interiors, and the high level of trim typically associated with Chinese brands. If you desire a family car with powerful performance, the Arrizo 8 High-Performance Edition is an excellent choice.
