The second production vehicle of the brand was the so called Qoros 3 Hatch, which debuted a year later at the same event. This one won on of the most prestigious design awards, the Red Dot Awards, in recognition of the quality of its design.

    2014 will also see the birth of QorosQloud 2.0. And we are not talking about the recently announced Q: QorosQloud Qubed Concept which will take the center stage at the L.A. Auto Show. The first is set to make a premiere at the 12thGuangzhou International Automobile Exhibition on 20th November 2014.

    This is a second generation version of its pioneering connected services platform. The first one included a cloud-enhanced free-for-life suite of services introduced on the Qoros 3 Sedan a year ago. Advanced connectivity is a core strategy here, which accentuates on the ‘New Drive’ philosophy to produce cars for the modern metropolitan consumer.

    QorosQloud 2.0 will be launched in the coming months. The Chinese company reveals that it will be easier to use and include an increased integration of social media and gamification.

  • Q: QorosQloud Qubed Envisions Vehicle/Driver Relationship in 2029

    QorosQloud-Qubed-Concept-THUMBQoros is entering the LA Design Challenge with a Q: QorosQloud Qubed Concept. The special vehicle envisions what the advanced vehicle and driver connectivity in the year 2029 will be. In short, the competition challenges international automotive design teams to explore how technology will change vehicles to connect with human senses in the aforementioned year. The winner will be chosen via a Facebook vote on the LA Auto Show’s official page page.

    Q: QorosQloud Qubed was designed by Jamie Barrett, Aditya Mahajan and Alex O’Brien. The vision for it is that it will learn from the driver over a period of time through the five senses. This basically means that there will be a strong and dynamic vehicle/driver relationship, which will grow over time.

    What can the car learn? For instance if you were the driver, it could get to know your tastes such as music preferences and general interests. In addition, it could also learn your favourite restaurants, regular destinations, friends and family. And the best thing here is that Q will improve over time, because it will be learning more every single day.

    Even more, Q is designed to bring about maximum safety by identifying when the driver is distracted or driving irresponsibly. When this happens the Qoros concept will quickly switch to an autonomous driving mode.

    The vote will last until 20th of November. One user can vote once every day for their favourite LA Auto Show Design Challenge entry.
