Interior
The cockpit is completely new both in the dashboard skeleton and in the setting that eliminates almost all the buttons leaving only the essential one, the main controls are part of the new 7-inch infotainment system with touchscreen with integrated navigation, 360 degree video camera, radio and 4G internet connectivity, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The climate controls are integrated into a second 8-inch LCD touchscreen. The instrumentation is mixed with two circular dials for speedometer and tachometer and in the middle a 9-inch LCD screen that can reproduce the navigator or other multimedia system functions such as the rear view camera.
Chassis
the car is based on a modular chassis (M1X platform). The front brakes are a ventilated disc and the rear ones a drum brakes. All models are available with six airbags, ABS and EBD, stability and traction control as standard. The body was made with high resistance steel of 1600 MPa in the frontal area and in the A and B pillars, and with programmed deformation steel in the rest of the skeleton.
Powertrain
The engine range at the 2018 debut consisted of a China-V standard Acteco SQRE4T15B 1.5T engine producing 108 kW at 5500 rpm and peak torque of 210Nm at 1750-4000 rpm, combined with a manual 5-speed gearbox or simulated 9 speed CVT gearbox. It continued to be sold in 2019 alongside the updated version.
In 2019, an updated version appeared, using an updated China-VI standard SQRE4T15C 1.5T engine, producing 115 kW at 5500 rpm and peak torque of 230Nm at 1750-4000 rpm, paired with a simulated 9 speed CVT. This version was later renamed to Arrizo GX Pro.[6]
Arrizo GX Pro
In June 2019, Chery introduced the Arrizo GX Pro naming.
It was rumoured to come with a choice of either the old 1.5T engine or a new 1.6-litre Acteco TGDI 16-valve engine, with 145 kW, both combined with a new seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission by Getrag.[7]
However, it did not appear and the name was eventually used for the China-VI engine versions of the 2019 Arrizo GX.
Arrizo GX Champion Edition
In September 2019 Chery introduced the Arrizo GX Champion Edition with similar styling to the GX and GX Pro, at a price of 75,900-91,900 yuan.
It comes with 1.5L SQRE4G15C engine generating 85 kW (116Ps) at 6150 rpm and peak torque of 143N.m at 4000 rpm, matching a simulated 7-speed CVT gearbox, similar to the Chery Arrizo 5 Pro.[8]
As of 2022, it is the only variant using the Arrizo GX name still on sale.
