Chery E3 will get two Grilles in China

Published on August 3, 2013 by Tycho de Feijter

The upcoming Chery E3 sedan will be available with two different grilles; one with three horizontal bars and one with 15 vertical bars. So far we have only seen the variant with the horizontal bars.

Since a grille is just a piece of plastic these days, an no longer an integral part of the vehicle, auto makers gain lots of  flexibility. Many auto makers already offer different grilles on the same vehicle, with the most shiny examples usually reserved for the most expensive variants.

The Chery E3 will debut on the Guangzhou Auto Show in November and it will be launched on the China car market just before the end of this year.

The E3 will be positioned between the upcoming Chery A2 and the Chery A5. Power will come from a 1.5 with 108hp, mated to a five-speed manual. Size: 4450/1748/1493, wheelbase is 2570. Chery is also working on a hatchback variant of the E3. Price will range from 60.000 to 80.000 yuan.
