    Chery Reviews

    Chery is a state-owned company founded by the Chinese government in 1997. It is one of the largest carmakers in China and produces a range of passenger cars, people movers, and SUVs. Chery re-entered the Australian market after a largely unsuccessful two-year run from 2011 to 2013 when it sold the budget-priced J3 hatch and the J11 small SUV. It kicked off its reborn range in 2023 with the Omoda 5 small SUV, which will be followed up by the Tiggo 7 and Tiggo 8 Pro SUVs. More hybrid and electric models are on the horizon.

    Chery FAQs

    Why won't my 2013 Chery J1 start?

    Cars don’t like to sit around for long periods. When they do, they often develop problems in the process, with everything from running problems to flat-spotted tyres and mould growing inside them.

    When you say the car doesn’t want to start, does that mean it turns over when you turn the key, or that nothing at all happens? If it’s the latter, the battery is probably flat or completely dead and will need to be recharged or replaced depending on its condition. If the engine turns but doesn’t fire, you might have a tank full of stale fuel that will need to be drained and replaced. Modern fuel goes stale pretty quickly and can also foul spark plugs, making the engine hard or even impossible to start.

    A full service with fresh oil, spark plugs, fuel and filters might do the trick and is a good idea for any vehicle that has been sitting around for a while.

    Should I buy a 2024 Chery Omoda 5 GT?

    Chery claims that the Omoda 5 GT was only ever going to be a limited-run model which is why it’s been axed just about a year after it was originally launched. If you are still keen on the car, then buying a 2024 model is your only option, as production of the car stopped a few months ago.

    To clear showrooms of remaining stock, Chery is offering a $3000 discount on the driveaway price of both the GT and GT AWD, so maybe that will sway your decision.
