(February 23, 2015) GENEVA — Qoros, the new Chinese car brand, will host the international premiere of its latest production model at the 85th annual Geneva International Motor Show on March 3.

Qoros officials say the new Qoros 3 City SUV is designed for a more premium metropolitan lifestyle, perfect for urban cruising and country driving. And thanks to innovative connectivity, drivers can make the most of every journey.

Its modern design and flexibility is exemplified by its increased ground clearance, large wheels, and a more commanding driving position. It offers generous space and more control for an exciting driving experience.

The new Qoros 3 City SUV went on sale in China in December, joining the sedan and hatch in Qoros’ growing family of cars. "As well as its purposeful, rugged looks, it exhibits world-class standards of engineering, safety and quality. It also features the brand’s pioneering and award-winning QorosQloud connected services platform," Qoros states in a press release.

Qoros was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in China. Its international team of experienced automotive experts is leading the development of a range of vehicles that exhibit world-class standards of design, engineering and quality.

Shortly before its China launch in December 2013, the Qoros 3 Sedan became the first car developed in China to be awarded the maximum five-star crash test rating by Euro NCAP and is one of the safest tested in the organisation’s 16-year history.

Among a host of other accolades, the Qoros 3 Hatch, launched in China in June 2014, won an Honorable Mention in the prestigious Red Dot Awards in recognition of the quality of its design.

The City SUV — the brand’s third production model — made its domestic debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November 2014 and went on sale a month later.

Qoros’ all-new, highly-efficient and environmentally-sustainable assembly facility in Changshu is ramping up series production of the Qoros 3 Sedan, Hatch and City SUV.

Qoros began selling cars in Slovakia in 2013 and hopes to expand across Europe within two years.
