Chery Auto PH shares why crossover vehicles are ideal on local roads

Chinese car brand Chery Auto, distributed by United Asia Auto Group Inc. (UAAGI), made its comeback in the local market in 2019 with a lineup of crossovers only.

The reason behind that is that Chery Auto Philippines thinks that owning a crossover in the country is highly ideal and practical. Come to think of it, various areas in the country are flood-prone which can cause inconveniences for many motorists. Moreover, Flooded areas can significantly increase travel time and damage vehicles.

Chery Auto Philippines said that crossovers are versatile and they are said to be an evolution from sedans. This type of vehicle can comfortably fit five and up to seven occupants while still offering relatively larger cargo space. Thanks to its unibody frame construction, passengers can enjoy the comfort that is usually provided by a sedan.

These Chery crossovers also come with a higher and ground clearance and ride height which can provide better visibility in the event of a calamity. The rated ground clearance for these Chery automobiles is at 210 mm and have water-wading depths of as much as 600 mm, which are higher than most in their segment.
