Segment B is not very demanding of its representatives and absolutely any car of the appropriate dimensions can enter it. However, this class has basic criteria - affordable price, relative practicality and maneuverability. Cherie was able to create a car that met the listed requirements and added something of her own...
The history of Chery QQ6 begins in 2006. In its market, the compact is better known as S21, while on Russian market became known under the already announced name (sales started in 2008).
The design of this Chinese car caused a mixed reaction from the public. Some found the model quite cute, while others objected to the disproportionate body and intricate headlights. Be that as it may, the developers were not tasked with making Cherie KuKu 6 attractive; the main emphasis was on practicality.
The equipment of the model cannot be called rich. Nevertheless, it is quite decent and much more diverse than its competitors. Thus, the list of equipment includes an airbag on the driver’s side, air conditioning, power steering, and an on-board computer. It is also worth noting the presence of a standard audio system that can read CDs in MP3 format.
Chery QQ6 is designed on the front-wheel drive platform of another model of the brand - the QQ hatchback. The front axle is notable for its McPherson suspension, while the rear axle has a semi-independent beam.
The compact is available for sale only in two modifications, having the following technical characteristics:
- Atmospheric power unit volume 1.1 liters. Produces 68 horsepower, which is realized through a five-speed manual transmission.
- The engine is 1.3 liters with a return of 83 horsepower. Equipped with 5 manual gearboxes.
User opinion
Owner reviews about this model are of great importance for its other potential buyers. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to read such stories that will help you do correct conclusions. Below is the story real owner Cherie KuKu6.
It took me a long time to buy this car. Having a small amount of money on hand, I wanted to buy comfortable car for the city with economical engine and acceptable equipment. The already announced Chery QQ6 came into view, Chevrolet Lanos And Daewoo Nexia, however, the last two cars did not suit me because they were already morally outdated and could not boast of efficiency. Therefore, it was decided to go with “Chinese”.
I already knew in advance that this model was far from ideal. After reading many articles and videos on the topic of Chery's test drive, flaws in the assembly were revealed. But it didn’t scare me and the decision was made to purchase this car.
Most of the negative expectations were not justified, which was a pleasant surprise for me - the interior of my car turned out to be well assembled, everything worked, and the engine consumed an acceptable amount of fuel. However, almost immediately it became clear that the headlights were very weak and driving at night was extremely uncomfortable. I also didn’t like the poor sound insulation - the engine constantly puts pressure on the ears, as well as the hum from the transmission.
There are also some complaints regarding reliability. For example, the clutch served only 40 thousand kilometers and this was with very leisurely use. The front shock absorber struts “flowed” at 25 thousand, and the stabilizer struts lasted even less - only 15 thousand. The problem with the shock absorbers was solved by tuning - replacing it with higher-performance analogues. I installed racks from Sachs “in a circle”, I’m quite pleased with them - the laxity disappeared, and in bad roads Moving around became much more comfortable...
Price policy
Price list for this model depends on installed engine And technical condition. It should be remembered that the liquidity of the “Chinese” is very low. Therefore, it is possible to buy a quite attractive copy at a significant discount.
Test
Soap Opera Hero
When creating Chery KuKu 6, the developers were inspired by rounded lines and tried to combine a pretty design and practicality in this compact. However, the end result was a rather vague product with questionable stylistic decisions.
For example, the body is too puffy and rounded, and therefore completely devoid of swiftness. The headlight optics are also organized in the form of round blocks and look, to put it mildly, unusual.
However, no matter how this sedan looks, it should also be noted strengths. So, geometric cross-country ability Not bad due to the short overhangs of the body, high ground clearance, which is equal to 150 millimeters.
Echoes of the past
The front panel architecture resembles Toyota Vitz previous years, but the Japanese compact was quite good in terms of ergonomics. But the “Chinese” has obvious problems with this, which force one to be distracted from the driving process. It is worth noting the inconvenient display on-board computer, which is blocked by the steering wheel rim, an instrument panel with unclear digitization, a very low location of the climate system.
The front seats also cannot boast of comfort. In more detail, it is worth noting their excessive softness, weak lateral support, and narrow adjustment ranges. But on the back sofa two people 175 centimeters tall can sit quite comfortably - there is enough room for knees and heads.
No revelations
The base 1.1-liter engine does not provide the Chery KuKu 6 with the proper dynamics and forces the tachometer needle to remain in the high-speed zone. Otherwise, there is a strong lack of traction. Besides, manual transmission disappoints with the unclear drive of the stages.
The steering wheel is light and as speed increases, the force on it remains weightless. On high speed The yaw rate is high, so maneuvering becomes dangerous. Rolls during bends can also be considered dangerous - they are very large. As for driving comfort, the car overcomes small bumps relatively smoothly, but on large potholes the body shakes with strong shocks.
Photo of Chery QQ6 (S21):
Popular low-budget model made in China Chery QQ can be said to have received its continuation in a new version – Chery QQ6. Updated car stands out with its own design and generous equipment.
Cars produced by the Chinese automaker Chery are an integral part of our roads today. Although just a few years ago, domestic car enthusiasts could not even imagine that they would consider the possibility of purchasing a new Chinese car along with Russian, European, less often due to remoteness but not fame, American and automobile products from developed Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea. All Chery cars are characterized by one common feature - it sounds like a tautology, but they do not have common features similarities to each other. Reason - copying manufacturers' models different brands. Baby Chery QQ6 - inherits its predecessor QQ, but does not resemble it in appearance and copying Daewoo Matiz. However, in in this case he has a very good reason, namely his own, individual design, not copied from anyone.
Certainly, appearance The QQ6 is very original and will not find a response in the hearts of car owners, for whom a car is, first of all, an image. But the Cherry QQ6 is not designed for image, because the car, as you know, is not a luxury. As affordable and sufficient comfortable means movement QQ6 is optimal for young people and buyers who are indifferent to any kind of “coolness”.
When describing the exterior, the first thing that comes to mind is a comparison with a cartoon car. The exterior design style of Chery QQ6 can be described as rounded simplicity. One thing is certain, the body shape, combined with the bright palette offered color range, leaves few people indifferent. This is a “plus” for those who want to stand out on the road. Advantageously complement the exterior of the QQ6, which has already become a good tradition alloy wheels by 14 inches. The “disadvantages” include wide rear pillars bodies that organically fit into the design, but significantly limit rear visibility, and small side mirrors do not help, but rather aggravate the problem.
The interior decoration of the Chery QQ6 is made in light colors, and attracts the first glance, but of course it is impractical to use. The quality of materials, unfortunately, is the same as on all Chinese cars, still leaves much to be desired. The build quality and the presence of uneven gaps also cause criticism. Interesting feature interior - a dashboard made in the shape of a “drop”, with instrument scales nested one into one. So original, one might even say fresh, design solution does not interfere with the readability of instruments. Roomy inner space It’s especially pleasing after contemplating its modest external forms.
The trunk volume is 500 liters, and there is room not only for a full-size spare wheel but also for cast disk, but also for hand luggage. The driver's seat has 6 mechanical longitudinal adjustments.
What Chery QQ6 is really not ashamed to boast about is its rich set of additional options. The car has anti-lock braking system brakes (ABS) and electronic system distribution braking forces(EBD) responsible for active safety. Passive safety It is represented by front airbags for the driver and passenger, and an injury-proof steering column. Additional comfort and protection against theft are designed to provide central locking With remote control, alarm and immobilizer. The package also includes power steering, power windows for the front doors and manual air conditioning.
In terms of technical characteristics, Chery QQ6 cars are equipped with two options gasoline engine 1.1 l. (68 hp, maximum speed 130 km/h) and 1.3 l. (83 hp, maximum speed 160 km/h) with 5-speed manual transmission transmission Chery QQ6 has an independent front suspension on wishbones of the McPherson type, with a stabilizer lateral stability and hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers. The rear suspension is dependent spring, also with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers. The front brakes are disc, the rear are archaic drum.
Chassis and performance characteristics allow you to successfully use Chery QQ6 in urban conditions - “sharp” steering, tenacity brake system... a noisy but efficient air conditioner will also be useful.
The disadvantages include a hard clutch pedal, a stiff suspension, “rattling” of interior parts when driving, and an urban fuel consumption rate of 10-12 liters per 100 km, which is quite high for such a baby.
Price – yes, many of the shortcomings of the Chery QQ6 pale next to its price. In 2010, Chery QQ6 can be purchased at domestic market in two versions - Lux, 1.1L and Lux, 1.3L, for which they ask for 270 and 290 thousand rubles, respectively. Although the situation with its quality still remains difficult, resulting in a constant need for repairs and tangible additional material, and often moral, costs.
Chery QQ 6, 2008
Having tested this unit in action for the first time, I noted good visibility (before that I drove my brother’s Hyundai Elantra). Compared to the Hyundai, it felt like you were driving a jeep. Rear visibility is a bit poor due to the two huge headrests on the back row seats, but I quickly solved this problem by installing panoramic glass. Chery suspension The QQ 6 is a little harsh, and in the pits and lazy police officers the rear passengers are thrown up a little, but the same problem is in the BMW X3, so I don’t see anything wrong with this shortcoming. During 7 months of operation, I drove it 19 thousand km - not a single breakdown. 2 months ago I had an accident and crashed rear bumper, I was pleasantly surprised by the large assortment of spare parts for the QQ6 in Moscow. Recently in Moscow there were frosts of -25, the car showed itself well and started up quite quickly. ABS works very clearly, there is not the slightest hint of skidding. The 1.1 liter engine is only enough to travel together with one passenger and shopping. Therefore, if the car is planned to be used by a larger number of people, I advise you to take the 1.3 engine - it is more powerful. The maximum speed is 110 km/h, more is possible, but the engine is starting to make a lot of noise. The fuel tank is enough for about 720-760 kilometers in traffic jams. I bought winter tires not 165 to 55, but 165 to 60, bought by the cheapness. Don't repeat my mistake - the wheels don't fit, although the arches are large, there is a large protrusion on the left side for the gas hose. Now a characteristic sound is heard on bumps from behind. And when purchasing, ask that the clutch pedal be raised higher, otherwise you have to press the pedal straight to the floor to change gear (in the basic settings). That seems to be all. I hope my review will be useful.
Advantages : price. Rich equipment. Reliability. Beautiful appearance. Engine efficiency.
Flaws : poor visibility rear window. Stiff suspension.

We chose Chery QQ 6 1.3 l, full set. She looks miserable, to be sure. The knocking sound on bumps and holes is as if teeth are crumbling. Reverse gear turns on the second time. Consumption in the city with air conditioning is 8.5 - 9 liters (I think this is a bit much for such an engine). On the highway at a speed of 120 km/h the car starts to bounce, so we drive no more than 110. Now for the pleasant stuff. It's very spacious inside; sitting in the driver's seat, you can't reach the passenger door with your hand. The trunk includes a 3-meter PVC boat (folded, of course) and a motor for it plus a tent. I took away a 2-tier bed from the store in one go. Chery QQ 6 accelerates well. The engine is Austrian Acteco. The air conditioning is freezing, the music is great. According to crash test results, it is second only to our Prioras with airbags. If you sell it now, you will get 180 rubles, but what will you buy with it? The box is on wheels, so I’ll drive another Chery QQ 6 until better times. At least in relative comfort. I change everything that is supposed to be every 10 thousand km, but now at 30 thousand it is necessary to change the ball joint. The central brake light was replaced. That's all.

Chery QQ 6, 2010
I bought a Chery QQ 6 in March 2010, today the mileage is 40 thousand km and a penny. So: I did 2 maintenance official dealer, then the “toad strangled” them to give them 8 and a half thousand and stopped going there. All I did was change the oil and right windshield(vandals knocked it out). The price of glass is 1300 rubles. There were no more breakdowns. It’s also true that the light in the cabin does not light up when you turn it on, but when you open the door, it lights up. It’s a good car, I’m very happy with it, after Chery QQ 6 I tried to drive Kalina, but Kalina really isn’t a very good car. I advise that if you are thinking about Chery QQ 6, VAZ or Matiz, choose the first one. And I really wanted Fora, I think it would have been no worse, but we didn’t have Fora in our city at that time. And yes, I forgot it was still cold in winter, but they told me how to fix it. I didn't regret the car.
Advantages : inexpensive maintenance. Appearance.
Flaws : problem with the stove - it’s cold in winter.

Chery QQ 6, 2010
This car looks attractive and original, although I don’t argue that there are drawbacks: the energy consumption of the suspension is low and it breaks through. Rear view bad, but the panoramic rear view mirror almost solves this problem. The 1.1 liter engine is rather weak, but it is sufficient for such a suspension. Sound insulation is poor. Settings gear ratios The gearbox leaves much to be desired, the gears are smeared, the clarity of gear shifting is poor. The steering wheel is “wobbly” when turning, and when turning sharply the car skids. But for the money, what the car costs and what it is equipped with, you can get it. For my daughter, for whom I bought this car, it is the best, because it is her first new and beautiful one, and I myself would not mind driving it. Chery QQ 6 really spacious salon The seating position is comfortable both front and rear and getting out of it is not easy to compare with a Matiz or Russian auto industry, and those who don’t have it criticize this car. I have something to compare with, I have driven all VAZs and Nexias. Now I have a Volkswagen Touran, it’s already 4 years old and I’ve already driven 80,000 km. Of course, you can’t compare Chery QQ 6 with it - it’s different cars both in class, and in quality, and in price, and they are both good for me, each in its own way.
Advantages : capacity. Engine. Air conditioner.
Flaws : knocking on bumps. Not for speed.

My Chery QQ 6 covered about 300 km in the first three days of operation. Overall, I like the car, the comfort level is good, I didn’t find any serious flaws. Pros: quite spacious and wide interior. Comfortable seats, adjustable. The handling is pleasing, the steering obeys well. Roomy for small car trunk - 400 liters. The car performed well during the drive from Kyiv to Fastov - about 75 km s fully loaded– 5 people in the cabin. It's good that they didn't remove the tachometer. From design features– a rather stiff suspension; due to its short length, Chery QQ 6 passengers are back seat feel all the bumps and bumps. In the driver's seat, the rigid suspension does not cause discomfort. Small problems with the gearbox - sometimes the first gear is not clearly engaged. Strange job on-board computer - I can’t understand how it calculates fuel consumption (it may still be developed). At sub-zero temperature Doesn't start very quickly. There is no heated mirrors. Finally, the most big drawback– problem with fastening rear number– there is not enough space for it, and there is no desire to bend the number. I’m happy with the purchase - not a Zhiguli, not a Tavria or a Moskvich, it’s reminiscent of the old ones in terms of comfort Japanese cars. Chery engine QQ 6 loves high revs, while I’m running it, however, I keep the revs within 3000.
Advantages : spacious interior. Comfortable seats.
Flaws : hard suspension. BC work. Mount for rear license plate.

In this article we will talk about a car from the Chinese company Chery QQ6 s21, also known as Chery Jaggi. During the review, we will focus on the history of this model, its design, technical specifications and other features.
The Chery Jaggi car is a 4-door sedan of class “B”, which has been produced since 2006. This model was built on the basis of Chery QQ3, which was produced since 2003. The model differs from its predecessor in the rounded shape of the trunk, redesigned front part and new modern optics. Essentially, this model is a liftback.
In 2008, the car was presented on the Ukrainian and Russian car markets under the name Chery Jaggi.
In 2010, the model was modernized. As a result, the design of the car and its name were changed - now the model was called Chery Cowin 1.
Specifications
Depending on the vehicle configuration, the engine can be a 1.1-liter with a power of 68 horsepower (the maximum speed of this modification is 130 km/h) or a 1.3-liter with a power of 83 horsepower(for this modification, the maximum speed has increased to 160 km/h). Regardless of the engine, the gearbox is a 5-speed "".
The front suspension of the car is represented by wishbones with a front stabilizer and hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers. Concerning rear suspension, then it is dependent spring with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers.
Car design Cherie KuKu6
The car made its debut - for the first time Chinese company independently developed the design of the model, and did not copy from other manufacturers. Although this car is not for the image-conscious, it is a good inexpensive option.
First of all, it is worth noting that the model is made in bright colors and few will leave anyone indifferent. Also worth noting are the 14-inch alloy wheels. As for the interior, it is made in light colors, which is a disadvantage from a practicality point of view. The quality of the materials used, as well as the quality of the assembly itself, leaves much to be desired.
Among distinctive features The interior is worth noting the dashboard, which was made in the shape of a drop. Despite the fact that the instrument scales are nested within each other, this does not interfere with readability. Also pleasing is the spaciousness of the trunk - its volume is 500 liters.
Among additional options Chery car The QQ6 s21 is worth noting the electronic brake force distribution system and the anti-lock brake system. Other security systems include remote-controlled central locking, alarm and immobilizer. Also included as standard are power steering, power windows, but only for the front door windows, and manual air conditioning.
Salon
The interior of the car is created in light colors, which attracts the buyer a little, but as a rule, this is a little impractical, since everything is too dirty. There are complaints about the build quality, sometimes something creaks and there are uneven and already quite large gaps. There is not enough space in the car, the front row is even more than that, but the back row is uncomfortable and passengers will not be able to stay in it for long long trip. The good news is that driver's seat has 6 mechanical adjustments and you can completely customize the chair to suit you.
The steering wheel is a simple 3-spoke, equipped with an airbag. The dashboard is the most unusual thing in the interior of this car. It starts in the same place as the dashboard on other cars, but it moves towards the center console and ends up in the shape of a drop. The main analog instruments of the tachometer and speedometer are located on the center console, this is not entirely convenient, since you have to be distracted from the road, but it looks unusual and one might even say cool.
Next under dashboard on the center console of Chery KuKu6 there is a standard audio system, and already under it there is a selector for controlling the stove and air conditioner, which is present in basic configuration. In general, the car really pleases with its standard equipment. The basic package includes:
- anti-lock braking system;
- brake force distribution system;
- air conditioner;
- system for blocking the interior from foreign odors;
- fog lights, etc.
Overall, the Chery QQ6 s21 is excellent option for those who want to purchase good car, without the hassle of choosing a great design.
