CHERY V2 (2008-CURRENT)

We Say...
It's a shape and a face only a mother could love, but beyond the quirky looks there could actually be some sense to the V2. It rivals the Chana CM8 that it seats 7 and is powered by a 1.3-liter motor. This one though looks extremely unstable thanks to an almost 2-meter height and a width that's 15 percent less! Refinement and fit/finish still on the lacking side, but getting there.
You're beginning to wonder with the Chinese fascination with micro vans.
Looks inherently unstable.
