 What model is this? The first car of the new iCar brand established by Chery debuted at the Guangzhou Auto Show. As part of iCar, the company will produce electric cars aimed at young people aged 25-35 years. [caption id="attachment_83191" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Chery iCar 03[/caption] iCar 03 is built on the Chery S5X platform and has an angular body in the spirit of the five-door Suzuki Jimny. Dimensions (4406 x 1910 x 1715 mm) indicate that this is a compact crossover, but the placement of the traction battery in the base (2715 mm) made it possible to make it quite spacious at such a length. Claimed approach and departure angles are 26° and 29°. The angular all-wheel drive crossover Chery iCar 03 with a solar panel on the roof was valued at $19.4 thousand. A special feature of the machine is solar panels placed on the roof. They serve as an additional source of energy. The company says that in a city like Shanghai, the solar panel generates enough energy to travel more than two thousand kilometers within a year. That is, in a year it provides approximately four full recharges of the traction battery. [caption id="attachment_83195" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Chery iCar 03[/caption] The crossover received a digital dashboard, a media system with a 15.4-inch screen, Infinity acoustics with 12 speakers, and a face recognition system. [caption id="attachment_83196" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Chery iCar 03[/caption] Chery iCar 03 can be either single-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. In the first case, the power is 184 hp, in the second – 278 hp. The capacity of the traction battery is 65 or 69 kWh, respectively, and the range is 500 km. The minimum acceleration time to 100 km/h is 6.5 s.

The Cd coefficient of 0.168 is far from the lowest Chery recently unveiled “the most aerodynamic car in the world ,” as it calls its electric concept Chery Aero, which has a drag coefficient of 0.168. The manufacturer stated that it has implemented more than 2,000 different optimization options to achieve ideal aerodynamic lines. During wind tunnel testing in August this year, Chery recorded a Cd value of 0.168, which it claims is the best achievement in the auto industry. The Aero prototype was developed using artificial intelligence simulation and Chery claims it is the most aerodynamically optimized car in the world. But this turned out to be a lie, as motor1 writes. Chery deceived by introducing “the most aerodynamic car in the world” [caption id="attachment_81282" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Chery[/caption] The Volkswagen ARVW concept achieved a Cd of 0.15 back in the 1970s, and the 1985 Ford Probe V concept had a drag coefficient of Cd of 0.137, while the 1954 Fiat Turbina had a drag coefficient of Cd of 0.14. Lightyear 0, a much more modern car, received a drag coefficient. All these figures easily surpass the new Chery concept. 0.175. However, this startup did not last long, and only two cars were assembled.
