Dash in black and plastic alu. Sporty dials but no LCD screen. The car on pics is likely a cheap version; the more expensive versions will get a large LCD like in the sedan.

Cowin Auto is a new car brand under Chery Automobile focused on making cheap vehicles for young car buyers living in third and fourth tier cities, a booming new market in China with a vast potential for zillions of sales. Cowin Auto will develop new vehicles from scratch and they will inherit several vehicles that are now sold under the Chery name.
