Power comes from a 1.5 Acteco engine with 109hp and 140nm, mated to a five-speed manual. Size: 4450/1748/1493, wheelbase is 2570. Chery is also working on a hatchback variant of the E3 which will debut in late 2014. There is no automatic available which will limit the E3’s appeal, especially among first-car buyers.

Interior just neat enough but beige plastics look very cheap. Big screen however is good. Sporty dials with a blue background, because 109 hp is racy.
