As the global automotive industry is entering into a new era, the consumption pattern of the younger generation customers is evolving. Traditional luxury brands appeal less to today’s more discrete and conscious young consumers - instead they crave products with distinctive design, outstanding quality as well as innovative user experiences powered by new technologies.

Based on insights into the consumer needs, and driven by the ‘Experience the New Premium’ brand claim, Qoros 3 GT is staged to the market.

Born to Be a Crossover

Qoros 3 GT is built on the modular architecture of Qoros, appearing more dynamic while inheriting the company’s rare design DNA. The re-calibrated power system and elevated chassis design strike a balance between sporty handling and ground clearance, giving the vehicle a natural and unique crossover character. The 174mm ground clearance when fully loaded provides the car with superb handling performance on par with other SUVs, making it easy to control unpaved or bumpy roads.

Stylish Design

The Qoros design team introduces multiple youthful sporty design cues to Qoros 3 GT. The all new volcano orange color combination creates a passionate aesthetic. Silver-black diamond cut 18-inch alloy rim plus black wheel trim decoration, coupled with sporty elements like black anti-scratch body kit, black reflector, black tail wing, fully showcase the dynamic stylish double-color body. The elegant GT logo is set against the front grille, adding to the vehicle’s sporty style. The interior of the vehicle is featured with lava black, paired with mixed fabric seat covers, to create both a clean and modern look. On the center console, silver diamond patterns are alternatively displayed to complement the GT logo positioned in various parts of the cabin. On top of this, the Qoros 3 GT also offers a highly attractive accessory kit - taking customizability to the next level by meeting the needs of more expressive sport sedan enthusiasts – and customers can choose from two attractive trim levels.

Dynamic Driving Experience

Apart from the distinctive high chassis design, Qoros 3 GT’s power calibration also emphasizes its sporty style. It carries 1.6T efficient turbo-charged engine, paired with 6-speed manual transmission and 6-speed QorosTroniq^TM manual/automatic dual-clutch transmission, generating powerful 200Nm torque at low engine speed of 1750rpm, and managing to achieve maximum torque 230Nm at engine speed 2500-4500rpm. The car features smooth shift change and greater transmission efficiency. The newly added dual-clutch transmission Sport Mode leads to better acceleration. Compared with other SUV models, Qoros 3 GT has better agile steering due to lower vehicle center of gravity creating better stability, thus delivering consumers a very unique sports crossover sedan driving experience. Its sporty driving experience and spacious cabin are equally inspired by Qoros 3 Sedan’s internationally refined chassis and body with its class-leading width (4626x1854x1509mm) and super long wheelbase (2698mm).
