In China, the launch of the new all‑wheel drive crossover Chery Tansuo 06 has been announced by the automotive portal autohome.com.cn. The model measures 4538 mm in length with a wheelbase of 2672 mm, signaling a compact but roomy stance for urban and highway driving alike. Power comes from a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine delivering 197 horsepower and 290 Nm of torque, paired with a seven‑speed dual‑clutch transmission and all‑wheel drive to provide confident performance in varied conditions. The interior highlights a digital instrument cluster and a 13‑inch floating multimedia screen, complemented by a charging podium beneath for easy smartphone access during commutes and trips.
The same source notes that, under the Chinese name, the crossover is planned for Russia to arrive as Jaecoo J7, joining the Omoda family lineup. The official presence from the Chery brand confirms the Russian debut is scheduled for September, signaling an important step in the model’s international rollout and branding strategy.
Industry observers have tracked developments around Chery’s plans for expanding production and distribution. In a broader context, discussions have circulated about potential new manufacturing activity in Russia, with speculation that two Chery crossovers could be produced in St. Petersburg. While details are still being finalized, the possibility highlights a growing emphasis on localized production to meet regional demand and reduce logistical lead times, reflecting a trend toward closer integration with North American and European markets in the coming years.
