Information on repair and maintenance of Chery QQ cars electronically
Chery QQ (codenamed S11) is an A-class car produced in China by Chery Automobile since 2003. Since 2006, the model has been called Chery QQ3 in China, when Chery launched the new Chery QQ6 supermini.
The compact city car Chery QQ debuted on the Chinese market in the fall of 2003 and has since become a popular bestseller for the Chery brand. In China it is known as Chery QQ3 and Chery S11. The model is also assembled in Iran under the name MVM 110 and in Indonesia. Since the fall of 2005, Chery QQ appeared on the Russian market under the name Chery Sweet.
Basic equipment includes air conditioning, power steering, power accessories, radio and R13 alloy wheels. Additional options include an automatic transmission, anti-lock braking system (ABS), two airbags and a sunroof.
The exterior and design of Chery QQ are the result of “cloning” the first generation Daewoo Matiz, which led to disagreements with General Motors, the owner of the Daewoo brand. The color scheme includes bright colors such as yellow, red, green and bluish silver. Unlike other models in this class, the moldings, bumpers and side mirrors on the Chery QQ are painted in body color as standard.
The car interior is spacious enough for four people of average build. Finishing materials are considered to be of acceptable quality, and the two-tone front panel and light upholstery make the interior cozy.
The driving position of the Chery QQ / Sweet is high, visibility is good, but the location of the steering column, pedal assembly, exterior mirrors and other controls is more suitable for a miniature driver. The rear seats provide enough space for two average-sized passengers, as long as there are no more than two of them and their height does not exceed 180 cm. The luggage compartment has a volume of 165 liters, which can accommodate small items such as an umbrella and a first aid kit. The rear seat backrest folds in sections, increasing the trunk volume to 625 liters.
Chery QQ is offered with two engines: the base 3-cylinder 12-valve SQR372 with a volume of 0.812 l (51 hp, 70 Nm) and the 4-cylinder 8-valve DA465Q with a volume of 1.05 l (52 hp, 83 Nm). Both engines with distributed injection have low fuel consumption, on average about 5 liters of AI-92 gasoline in the urban cycle.
Acceleration to 100 km/h for a car with a 0.8 liter engine takes approximately 13 seconds (actually 20 seconds). The maximum speed is 135 km/h (140 km/h for the 1.05 l engine).
Both engines can be equipped with either a traditional 5-speed manual transmission or the new EZ-drive robotic gearbox developed in China.
The car's suspension includes MacPherson struts with springs at the front and a torsion bar with a solid axle at the rear. The braking system includes disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. Additional options include ABS and EBD systems for improved braking safety.
Overall, the handling of the Chery QQ is rated as good, with the exception of excessive steering sensitivity, which may require special caution when driving at speeds over 80 km/h.
The model is lightweight: the curb weight is only 880 kg, and the total weight is 1225 kg. This makes it the lightest car in its class. Ground clearance when fully loaded is also relatively good: 125mm for the 0.8-litre model and 115mm for the 1.05-litre model. This allows the vehicle to easily negotiate small road obstacles and provides some protection from damage to the underside of the vehicle when driving over uneven or bumpy surfaces.
