Chery does not build many cars like the Chery Arrizo M7: a 5-door minivan with 1.8 L SQR481FC I4, built from 2015 to 2018 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.

What is underneath

Under the skin sits 1.8 L SQR481FC I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 1590 kg. The gearbox is a 5 speed manual / CVT. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2800 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Its place in the line

Where it sits in Chery's history is not in doubt: the Chery Eastar Cross came before it; the Chery Tiggo 8 / Chery Tiggo 9 followed it; it was built at Wuhu, China. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Ford Escort, the Ferrari 488, the Chevrolet Camaro. Nearby in the Chery catalogue sit the Chery Arrizo 5 GT and the Chery A1.
