Chile’s renowned auto magazine MT has recently released the shortlist of models nominated for “Best Car of 2016”. Of these models, Chery Arrizo7 was shortlisted for its strong sense of model design and rich configuration. This is also the second consecutive year that a Chery model has been nominated for “Best Car” in Chile.
Inaugurated in 2007 and held annually, the “Best Car of the Year” as organized by MT is one of Chile’s most authoritative auto selections. This year, professional journalists from 15 auto media outlets in Chile test-rode the shortlisted models and selected winners for awards such as “Best Car”, “Best SUV” and “Best MPV” in January 2016. Apart from Arrizo7, 12 models of 10 brands, including Toyota, Chevrolet and Hyundai, were also shortlisted.
Arrizo7 was launched in Chile at the end of November when was just 10 days before its being shortlisted for “Best Car of 2016”. Arrizo7 is the first car launched with the new brand image by Chery in Chile. Powered by a 1.6L DVVT engine, the new model provides two transmission choices: MT and CVT.
Tiggo5’s previous nomination for “Best Car of 2015” and Arrizo7’s nomination for “Best Car of 2016” have proven that Chery brand and its products have been highly recognized by the Chilean market. Let’s wait and see the final results of the selection.
