Chery does not build many cars like the Chery E5: a 4-door saloon with 1.5 L SQR477F I4, built from 2011 to 2016 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.
The background
The Chery E5 is a compact car produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery from 2011 to 2016. It is based on the same platform as the Chery A5.
The engineering
Under the skin sits 1.5 L SQR477F I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 1285 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 2600 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Where it sits in Chery's history is not in doubt: the Chery A5 came before it; the Chery Arrizo 5 followed it; it was built at Wuhu, Anhui, China. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Lamborghini Aventador, the Peugeot 208, the Tesla Model X. Its Chery stablemates include the Chery Arrizo 5 GT and the Chery A1.
