The latter accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about 6 seconds and averages 32 km/l of gasoline.
Interior and Safety
Inside, the Chery Arrizo 8 is a true spaceship. With a futuristic design and sophisticated finish, it comfortably accommodates five adults. Among the features, highlights include a sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, a premium sound system, ambient LED lighting, and a 12.3-inch digital panel. The also 12.3-inch multimedia center offers wireless connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as 360-degree cameras and built-in GPS.
In terms of safety, the Chery Arrizo 8 does not disappoint, featuring collision warning, autonomous braking, pedestrian detection, blind-spot alert, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go function.
In Brazil, There Is Still No Confirmation of Its Arrival
Launched in China in 2022, the Chery Arrizo 8 aims to compete with models like Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and Ford Fusion, but at a much lower cost. In Brazil, there is still no confirmation of its arrival, but considering Chery’s investments in the country, represented by Caoa, it is possible that the model will land here, especially the hybrid version, which would benefit from tax incentives.
Currently, the top-of-the-line Toyota Corolla Altis Premium hybrid costs around R$ 198,900, while the Chery Arrizo 8 could arrive in Brazil in the range of R$ 200,000 for the 1.6 turbo version and R$ 230,000 for the plug-in hybrid configuration. Compared to competitors like the Volkswagen Jetta GLI and larger sedans such as the Honda Accord Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid, which cost over R$ 300,000, the Chery Arrizo 8 would be a very competitive option.
So, what do you think of the new Chery Arrizo 8? Does it have a chance to succeed in Brazil? With the right price, this car has everything to become a big hit here.
