(KPL) Chinese cars, model of CHERY QQ car, made in China is hitting Lao market amid higher oil price and cost of living.

In the expensive oil situation many Lao people is seeking economic cars, which is able to save more oil and being reasonable price in order to reduce the higher living cost as much as impossible. Therefore CHERY QQ might be a new choice for Lao people living in city.

The CHERY Buathip Lao, Ltd, a sole importing company imported Chery QQ model from China has been available in Laos since 2005.

He told KPL news that the in 2005 his company faced difficulty because Lao people had not acquainted with CHERY car and they had never seen before. “Therefore we had tried to seek new niche market in Laos by advertising through the Lao media such as radio, TV and newspapers. Until 2006 we could have seen obviously that Lao people have considerably known CHERY car and many Vientiane residents have used this kind of car seemed to increase sharply” he said.

Chinese company had a business deal with Chevy Automotive to produce a cheap car in China call a Spark. For some reason the deal broken off.

Now come a Chinese company name Chery Automotive with a car name QQ.

Check out Chevy Spark. Compare the QQ with the Spark? Look very similar doesn't it? Even the name Chery-Chevy. Chevy was not an isolated case. They ripped off other car company as well.

i'm sad that Renault (french car manufacturer, owner of Nissan and Dacia) doesn't try to sell the Logan car in Laos

It's a good car at a very reasonnable price.... ingeneered and designed especialy for "developping countries" (countries that are still poor, but that go up and up). It's very successfull, even in richer countries (at the beggining, they didn't plan to sell it in France, but people began to import the car themselves.... so they decided to officialy sell it in france, and it's clearly a success)

http://www.dacia-logan.com

from 7600 euros to 10500 euros (and less expensive in others countries: start at 6250 euro in Romania, but with lower equipement level... very basic)


from 8900 to 11700 euros

and they plan to realease a pick-up soon
   
should start at about 8000 euros

engines are from 75 HP to 105 HP, or 70 to 85 HP (diesel)
diesel consumption is about 5 l/100km
other are 6 to 10 l/100km
