Launched in the presence of regional media representatives at the brand’s showroom in Deira, the Arizzo 5 is the second model to join the popular Arrizo series. Donning a price tag of AED 39,900, the 2017 Chery Arrizo 5 is targeted towards those who are in search of great value for money.

Featuring sharp creases along its bodywork, the Arizzo 5 flaunts an intimidating mien while sitting smartly on a set of 16-inch aluminium alloy wheels. Designed keeping the Chinese cultural element of water present, it’s a design that’s unique and one that is complemented by Willow leaf shaped headlamps and taut tail lamps.

Measuring 1,825mm in width, the capacious cabin is home to chrome garnishes, steering wheel controls, and many other features such as Bluetooth telephony and Cruise Control - all of which are part of the standard set. With seating for five and 430-liters of boot space to accompany, it’s claimed to be significantly roomier than its rivals.

Powered by a robust 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, the Arrizo 5 churns out 114 horsepower and 141 Nm of torque through a CVT transmission to hit a top speed of 180 km/h. The Chinese sedan’s five-star safety rating is a by-product of Bosch’s most advanced ABS system to date, an emergency brake alarm, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, and Traction Control.
