Shanghai, 20th April 2015 – Chinese car manufacturer, Qoros today unveiled a bold new concept car at the Shanghai Auto Show. Featuring a striking new design theme, it is conceived to appeal to trendy, creative young people. It points to possible future design, technology and product expansion strategies for the brand.

The Qoros 2 SUV PHEV Concept signals Qoros’ intentions to tackle new market segments with new technologies in the future. Qoros already has three production cars, the Sedan, the Hatch and City SUV, all of which sit within the C-segment.

“This concept car is a strong indicator of our long-term plans – combining our commitment to expanding our product range with our desire to innovate and be different.” said Phil Murtaugh, CEO of Qoros.

The Qoros 2 Concept was designed by teams in Munich and Shanghai under the direction of Vice President of Design Gert Hildebrand. It features contemporary and rugged SUV design features combined with dynamic coupe upper body lines to showcase the vehicle’s muscular stance. A new and highly distinctive design impression is created through details such as vertically-orientated front and rear lamp clusters and an open V-shaped front bumper.

With advanced plug-in hybrid electric technology incorporated within its 4WD drivetrain, the Qoros 2 SUV Concept car will appeal to young, open-minded and efficiency-conscious metropolitan consumers. Charging is undertaken via a process inspired by the aerospace industry’s “Don’t touch a cable” principle, and represents an industry first.
