SYDNEY: Fledgling carmaker Qoros has been developing a crossover for a while now. The new model will now debut at the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show later this month in concept form as the Qoros 2 a teaser sketch has been released, showing the car’s side profile.
the 2 will be a standalone SUV model unlike the 3 City SUV, which is a more rugged version of the regular 3 Hatch and, despite the name, will be based on a stretched version of the 3’s modular platform. Clear from the rendering are the bulging wheel arches hiding large multi-spoke wheels, a distinct C-pillar kink and boomerang-shaped tail lights.
No specifics were mentioned, but the 2 is reportedly powered by turbocharged 1.6 litre (the same 156 hp/210 Nm mill currently used in the 3) and 1.8 litre four-cylinder engines, the latter likely producing around 185 hp.
