The model – the third in the carmaker’s line-up after the 3 Sedan and 3 Hatch – draws on its siblings’ styling but with more rugged looks and also features increased ground clearance, large wheels, and a more commanding driving position. Qoros also promises generous space and enhanced driving control along with the QorosQloud connected services platform.

Engine details have not been announced but its sister models use 1.6-litre naturally-aspirated and turbocharged engines with six-speed manual and dual-clutch automatic transmissions.

The carmaker added that the new Qoros 3 City SUV is ‘designed for a more premium metropolitan lifestyle, perfect for urban cruising and country driving’.

The model makes its debut at Guangzhou on 20th November.
