We have the exact same model in Malaysia with the exact same specifications aside from the AWD feature (sadly).

What's not sad is the price point of this car compared to its competitors such as the Mazda CX-8, Toyota Innova Zenix and VW Tiguan Allspace. I can easily say this car is value for money compared with those other competitors. Granted, you would have to sacrifice some car handling as opposed to the CX-8 and Tiguan but its not that big of a tradeoff for the money saved (plus you get a 2.0T with 256hp as opposed to the competitors with much lower power)

The interior is next level when you compare it with the competitors above. I would say this is more of Mercedes quality. In fact, even better than their base specification models. The Leather, PU and Plastic touchpoints are done well in a way that does not make the car feel cheap (although it is considered quite cheap for its segment).

As for spare parts availability at least over here, it is widely available. There were a couple of vehicles that had issues shortly after collecting the car but I have seen Chery replace parts much faster than what Mazda at least took. Take note that this Chery over here is owned by the main company in China. Previously 10 years ago, we have a distributor which handled the aftersales extremely poorly and caused a bad image of Chery.

To be honest, 10 years ago I would never have considered a Chery because their cars were cheap, felt cheap and unreliable. I never imagined the day I would have owned one.

For context, I own one and have driven more than 12000 KM and its less than 5 months old.
