Test drive Chery QQ6 (S21) since 2008 -
Chery QQ6
... This summer seems to become a Chinese season for an autolet. As soon as we managed to work out the Lifan Breez test, as the Chery QQ6 car promised to us rolled out for the long -promised car. He, too, turned out to be bright red so we are lucky for a festive color!The appearance of QQ6 is unusual. Merry muzzle, funny front headlights with a necklace of LEDs. In all its lines and outlines, I stubbornly saw something cartoon, and the raised rounded back with narrow headlights reminded the cars of the 60s. You can perceived such a design, but it is impossible to call it unfriendly or aggressive in any case Chery QQ6. The character is extremely positive!
The bright, fabric upholstery of the seats looks good, only its practicality, alas, is enough, dirt and dust on our roads, a light interior is dirty in any case. The finishing plastic is also light, like the steering wheel. Some plastic details are doubtful of the strength of their fastening (handles in the doors, a knob of the gearbox lever), but perhaps I am mistaken.
The rounded sides of the car hide a fairly large space inside, two adults will calmly sit on the back. Ahead, too, without problems, two of my companions are sitting young guys, both tall at 180 cm.
The dashboard without excesses, the standard radio sounds quite tolerably, but the radio on the move is losing the stereo signal possible, is it necessary an additional antenna?
Even at the first acquaintance with the Chery QQ6 at the presentation, I noticed that the car is light and nimble. When moving around the city, this turned out to be even more obvious: the little car is quite maneuverable, quickly accelerates, the sharp steering wheel allows you to quickly rebuild and enter the turns.
But the roll with sharp turns is tangible: it is better to turn smoothly. Noise insulation in the cabin is acceptable, although a rather high voice of the motor is heard. The mechanical box is short and clear, the programs are easily turned on, but the clutch pedal is harsh. The brakes are not very tenacious, the pedal, you need to get used to the rather long pedal.
On the highway, the car is quite easily accelerated to 120 kmh, but when you try to accelerate, it becomes somehow uncomfortable: QQ6 begins to tremble and swing. Probably, because of its slight weight, the machine loses stability at high speeds, so you should not get carried away.
The air conditioning in QQ6 is noisy, but a good, heated interior cooled in just a few minutes. But the details of the cabin are noticeably in the motion; A rather stiff suspension only contributes to this.
The raised feed feed tangibly jumps on road irregularities. The rear window is not enough: the review is so -so, it is difficult to park back. Yes, and side mirrors could be larger.
The Chery QQ6 trunk is not called huge, but it is, nevertheless, quite spacious. The consumption of gasoline, according to the readings of the computer, in the city was 1012 liters per hundred.
When I rode around the city on Cheri QQ6, I \u200b\u200bconstantly caught the curious looks of my neighbors in the stream. The machine was in surprise by other drivers: in Moscow this is still a novelty. And the appearance of the car, as noted above, attracts attention.
Of course, this machine is unlikely to interest adults and serious buyers for whom the car is a sign of status, but a pretty cartoon design may well attract young people, as well as those who are not important not the prestige of the brand, but the availability and economy of the machine.
Those for whom the car is just a car, an assistant and a means of transportation, and not a demonstration to others. Moreover, Cheri QQ6 does not look like others and will make it possible to stand out in the stream.
