CHERY A5 (2006-CURRENT)
We Say...
This is more like it. Chery's investment in quality systems are starting to pay off with the A5. Aside from the Audi-like name, the A5's nicely proportioned inside and out (even if it's aping Nissan's designs). Build quality is the best Chery can muster and features are fairly high for the price you pay. It's still rough in the details and there's no automatic, so appeal is pretty limited.
The best, most modern Chery.
Still a generation or two behind the Koreans.
