Chronology
SuccessorChery E5

The Chery A5 is a mid sized sedan produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery from 2006 to 2010. This car heavily resembles the third-generation Nissan Altima, despite being unrelated. A facelifted variant of the A5 called the Cowin 3 was produced from 2010 to 2013.

Specifications

The car is available with three engine options: a 1.6-litre engine, a 1.8-litre engine or a 2.0-litre engine. A hybrid version, named Chery A5ISG or A5BSG, is also produced.[4] It is considered to be the first Chinese-designed mass-production hybrid vehicle.[citation needed] It is equipped with safety features such as ABS, EBD and ESP.
