CHERY V5 (2006-CURRENT)

We Say...
Chery's flagship touts itself as a crossover. In reality, it's an MPV. Well proportioned inside and out, it carries all the de rigueur of modern car design from the scallop-shaped lamps to the mirror mounted signal lamps. It's not cheap, but it's kitted with everything. It tries the luxury route and succeeds to a point. That is, until the trim starts falling off.
It's Grandis style for Avanza money.
Would you really pay for one?
