The Indian passenger vehicles market is home to a wide range of automakers, both domestic and international, and the number is likely to grow by one quite soon. Chery Automobile has filed a patent for its Arrizo 8 sedan in India, suggesting a launch may be right around the corner. This is the second model from the fourth-largest Chinese automaker to be patented on our shores, following the Tiggo 8 SUV, which was listed a few weeks prior.
The Chery Arrizo 8 is sold internationally in both pure-ICE and plug-in hybrid versions and is built as a mid-size sedan measuring 4,757 mm in length, 1,832 mm in width, and 1,471 mm in height. It features a sleek silhouette defined by its sporty front fascia with sharp LED headlamps and a set of vertical air intakes that flank a large trapezoidal grille. On the whole, it does remind us of Hyundai’s older design language for its global sedans, such as the Elantra or the Sonata.
