Chery had the Cowin brand under a significant number of sub-brands, whose cars sold rather slowly. And in 2018, the Chinese automaker sold a majority stake in Covina to the provincial government of Yibin (50.5%) and Sichuan Yibin Push Group (0.5%), a private company owned by alcohol giant Wuliangye Group. This is how Yibin Kaiyi (Cowin) Automobile Co. was born.

From Yibin Kaiyi (Cowin) Automobile Co there was no news for a long time … And then suddenly the company organized the presentation of several models at once! And if city sedans and hatchbacks are of little interest to us, then the Kaiyi i-FA 01 crossover with a length of 4738 mm deserves our attention.

Technically, Zero One is a plug-in hybrid built around a turbocharged gasoline engine. In addition, the features of the top version are very interesting – with a two-liter engine and two electric motors, the novelty produces 367 forces!

However, a more modest car is entrusted to open the range. She has a 1.6 liter engine as the basis for the power plant, and there is only one electric motor. The total efficiency is therefore “only” 204 forces, and the mileage on a single charge is 120 kilometers instead of 180.

The brand promises to start production of a petrol-electric SUV in the second quarter of 2023, assuming that the novelty will attract a young audience. Let’s see if the youth wants to buy Chery-designed “Kaiui”…

And another news from manufacturers from China. Changan’s Russian representative office opened the sale of Uni-K crossovers. And if the “gray” dealers asked for an extraordinary “SUV” from 5,500,000 rubles, then the official “price” turned out to be much more pleasant.
