The affordable Chery vehicles are here! |18 May 2009

Manufactured by the Chery Automobile Co. Ltd, one of the largest independent Chinese car manufacturers and the fastest growing automaker in the world, Chery has been causing a sensation across the globe through its exciting range of models and a combination of unbeatable value and quality.

The three Chery models that will be available for the Seychelles market are already highly acclaimed globally and include:

QQ3 5-door hatchback 1100cc – This compact, fuel-efficient car is well suited for Seychelles’ roads and is the most affordable car today, retailing as low as R230,000 for price-conscious buyers and as low as R195,000 for car rental companies with TIA concessions;

J1 5-door hatchback 1300cc – This small car has been highly praised for its unbeatable quality and smooth performance on steep roads and will retail for R290,000 and as low as R240,000 for car rental companies;

Tiggo sport utility vehicle 1600cc – This SUV is a dream come true for all those wishing for an affordable and feature-rich SUV which retails for R540,000 and as low as R405,000 for car hire operators and taxi drivers with concessions.

“During these trying economic times, it is very exciting to be able to offer the people of Seychelles world-class vehicles at such low prices,” said Hervé Chang-Yunn, marketing manager of Crown Motors.

“Such unbeatable prices will give many Seychellois the opportunity to buy their first car, and will also allow car hire companies to renew their fleet without breaking the bank, so to speak.”

All Chery vehicles will be sold entirely in Seychelles rupees and will come standard with the latest safety and comfort features such as antilock braking system (ABS), SRS airbags, air-conditioning, central locking, alarm system, electrically-powered windows and mirrors, alloy wheels and CD audio system.    

As part of its investment and long-term commitment to the Chery brand, Crown Motors (Pty) Limited has already invested in trained personnel and the necessary service equipment. Spare parts will also be stocked and sold in rupees and all vehicles will be serviced at its authorised service centre (Autotech Garage) at Providence.

The company will also offer a comprehensive two-year or 60,000km warranty on all vehicles, as well as a free first service.
