At its debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show (7 - 17 March), new international car brand, Qoros, will showcase its first production car, the Qoros GQ3 compact sedan, and two concept studies. The Cross Hybrid Concept and Estate Concept preview future Qoros designs and technologies, and signal the brand’s commitment to creating a range of attractive, modern models for discerning customers in Europe and China.
The Cross Hybrid Concept and Estate Concept studies are both based on the same platform as the elegant Qoros GQ3, which is due to be launched in China in the second half of 2013, with the first cars arriving in Europe later in the year. Further Qoros models will be launched at intervals of around six months.
The Qoros model line-up is characterised by modern, German-influenced design, world-class safety technology, and the highest production quality standards. Each Qoros will feature as standard an advanced infotainment system that is unique in the automotive sector and that includes comprehensive networking, connectivity and guidance functionality.
To be produced in a new assembly plant in Changshu, China, the new range of Qoros models is being designed and engineered by an international team of experienced specialists and new, young automotive talent.
The development of advanced engineering innovations is a core strategic activity for Qoros and the Cross Hybrid Concept features an innovative hybrid drive system. Intelligent control software ensures seamless transition between petrol-engined front-wheel drive, electric motor rear-wheel drive, and an all-wheel drive mode employing both power units together.
