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.

  • 2014 Qoros 3 Hatchback [video]

    Qoros has unveiled the 3 Hatchback model ahead of its official public debut scheduled for March at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. There are two pictures and a video of the second model in the range.

    The design and engineering of the compact (C-segment) Qoros 3 Hatch draws heavily on the brand’s first model, the Qoros 3 Sedan. While it is similarly inspired by contemporary European automotive styling themes, it displays a subtle, youthful evolution of the distinctive signature Qoros design cues to inject greater sportiness to the car’s appearance.

    “The new Qoros 3 Hatch will appeal to the modern metropolitan always-connected customer who needs a little extra versatility provided by the hatchback body style”, commented Vice Chairman of Qoros, Volker Steinwascher.

    “It offers those with active outdoor lifestyles or young families extra practicality, combined with added coolness thanks to its more spirited, sporty look”, he added.

    As well as rear lamp clusters and tailgate specific to the hatchback, the Qoros 3 Hatch features subtle visual changes at the front that differentiate it from the Sedan – notably to the front grille, front bumper and front fog lights. These create a bolder ‘face’ and a more compact, dynamic, sporty appearance that will appeal to a new, more lifestyle-oriented group of customers.

    The interior boasts key ergonomic features, refinement, understated quality and equipment are shared with its sedan compatriot, although new upholstery colour combinations and materials will provide a fresh, new ambience.

    Actually Qoros 3 Hatch looks pretty and and with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine offered in naturally-aspirated and turbocharged versions, it will deliver nice driving pleasure. The engines can be mated to either 6-speed manual or an automatic dual-clutch gearbox.

    Both Qoros 3 Sedan and 3 Hatch will be assembled in plant located in Changshu, China.

  • Qoros 3 Sedan

    Qoros will present its first series production vehicle, an elegant compact (C-segment) car with the official international model designation, the Qoros 3 Sedan. The official premiere will be at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March.

    The Qoros 3 Sedan, which is entering a pre-production development phase after two summers and two winters of extensive testing at key locations around the world, is due to be launched in China in the second half of 2013, with first European sales following later in the year.  The launch of further Qoros models is then planned at intervals of approximately 6 months.

    Qoros’ elegant sedan for the compact segment introduces a distinctive brand identity which will be applied across all future models.  The Qoros 3 Sedan has an elegant profile thanks to its long wheelbase, short overhangs, a coupé-like silhouette and a roof line which flows smoothly into the strong rear quarters.  At 4,615 mm long and 1,839 mm wide, the sedan is relatively large for the compact segment, and endows it with a powerful overall appearance and unusually generous interior space.

    The engine range includes two efficient four-cylinder 1.6-litre gasoline engines. Both of which feature VVT (variable valve timing).  The naturally-aspirated unit delivers an output of 126HP (93 kW) and 155Nm (115 lb-ft) of torque.  The turbocharged version offers 156HP (115 kW) and 210 Nm (156 lb-ft). Both engines are combined with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, with an optional 6-speed dual clutch transmission available for both.  A stop-start system will be available from launch.

    With the support of AVL, Qoros is also developing a three-cylinder 1.2-litre turbocharged engine and an all-new four-cylinder 1.6-litre turbocharged engine, both with GDI (gasoline direct injection).

    The advanced 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system is a standard feature of all Qoros 3 Sedan model variants.

    Qoros will introduce one production car and two concepts – Cross Hybrid Concept and Estate Concept, at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

    The Qoros model line-up is characterised by modern, German-influenced design, world-class safety technology, and the highest production quality standards.  Each Qoros will feature as standard an advanced infotainment system that is unique in the automotive sector and that includes comprehensive networking, connectivity and guidance functionality.

    The production-ready Qoros GQ3 showcases the rapid pace at which the manufacturer is approaching the market launch of its first model.  The elegant sedan has a sporty profile with a long wheelbase, short overhangs and a coupé-like silhouette, yet allows for unusually generous interior space for a vehicle in the compact segment.

    A comprehensive standard specification is also accompanied by safety technology that meets the very highest standards, and the Qoros GQ3 is targeting top scores in both European and Chinese crash tests.

    The Qoros GQ3 showcases an advanced infotainment that represents a technological first for the car industry that will be standard across all Qoros models.
