Chery A6CC to finally launch at the years end

The Chery A6CC has been in development for a long time, mostly due to its solid roof that folds away to turn itself into an open roofed cabriolet for those fun days down by the beach, or racing through the smog filled 40 degree streets of Beijing. According to Chery, the biggest barrier in the development of the A6CC was the folding roof, the first to be developed by a Chinese company so far.

The A6CC owes its sexy design to the Italian design house Bertone, who Chery have kept busy over the past few years with various requests for new designs. The A6CC will launch at the end of this year according to media sources, however it is likely to loose its Chery markings in favor of Chery’s latest brand, Riich, which is an upmarket brand for all of Chery’s latest cars, thus making the A6CC the Z5 which of course has nothing to do with BMW, Chery also called their flagship SUV an X5.

On the power front, the A6CC, or rather the Riich Z5 will be getting a 2.0T box and a 1.8T box from the G-series of sedans.
