The 3 Hatchback is the second car is the rapidly expanding Qoros range, and much more is on the way. Late this year the brand will debut a crossover based on the Qoros 3 Hatch to be followed by a larger SUV in 2015.
Actually, Qoros is in a bit of trouble, as their engines do not meet the new emissions standards for Beijing and some other major cities.
This is the reason that their dealership expansion plan has been delayed, and they haven’t been able to sell any 3 sedans in Beijing so far!
Hello AK. Nice to have you back again. Thanks for the insight, and I haven’t seen a single 3 in Beijing indeed. I will look into this a bit more…
According to Gasgoo, only 32 Qoros 3 were sold until 9th of February ….
A very rare car!
