In the ever-evolving world of automobiles, Chinese automaker Chery is making waves with its upcoming releases. One such model is the anticipated Riich-branded version of the A2, potentially named the 'M2'.

According to recent reports, the M2 is expected to be positioned above the current A1 model, with dimensions of approximately 3916x1650x1465 mm, making it larger than a VW Polo. This expansion in size is likely to reflect in the pricing as well, with the M2 expected to be priced lower than a VW Polo.

However, there is some uncertainty about the definitive debut of the Chery A2 at the Beijing Auto Show in April. The show is a significant event in the Chinese auto industry, and Chery's presence there would be highly anticipated.

Meanwhile, the Chinese car market continues to grow, with many first-time buyers entering the market. This trend is reflected in Chery's strategy, as the company aims to have as many small cars as possible in the market.

Another interesting development in the Chinese market is the unveiling of the Geely Galaxy's 4.8-meter Starshine 6 PHEV sedan. Official images of the vehicle have been released, showcasing a sleek and modern design.

In addition, Chery is rumoured to launch the QQ model series as an independent brand around mid-2024. This move could potentially see the QQ brand becoming a significant player in the market.

Furthermore, Geely and Mercedes are collaborating on the Smart #2 EV city car, which is scheduled to launch in China in late 2026. This collaboration is expected to bring innovative and eco-friendly solutions to the Chinese market.

Lastly, the Zeekr 9X, an SUV with the world's largest PHEV battery and a starting price of approximately 80,000 USD, has had its interior revealed. The reveal of the interior has generated a lot of buzz and anticipation among car enthusiasts.

In conclusion, the Chinese auto market is buzzing with activity, and Chery is at the forefront of many of these developments. The upcoming Riich-branded A2, or M2, is one such development that is generating a lot of interest. As we await the official debut of the M2, the Chinese auto market continues to grow and evolve, offering exciting opportunities for both manufacturers and consumers.
