Chery Envy 2013 - 2018 Review

The Envy features a 1500cc MPI 16-valve 4-cylinder engine that produces 109 hp at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. It has a 50-liter fuel tank and a 5-speed manual transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard. According to some owners, the engine is good and can be loaded. The engine's towing capacity is good, with fuel consumption averaging 5.4 liters per 100 km, which is very economical. The car reaches a top speed of 172 km/h. It handles well, and its power has increased by 2 hp since its launch in Egypt.

The car is 4.580 meters long, 1.760 meters wide, and 1.483 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.6 meters. The car has a 485-liter trunk, making it spacious and comfortable on the inside. The dashboard is well-designed, but its materials aren't strong. The gauges have a distinctive design, and there are plenty of storage spaces inside the car. The steering wheel is made of weak materials, and the seats are high off the ground, which may be uncomfortable for some. The trunk is spacious and large.

The interior is good, providing comfort while driving, with the ability to easily control the car's functions. It has various gauges, numerous features, air conditioning, and electric mirrors. The rear seat can accommodate three adult passengers well.

There are complaints about the lack of good and easy availability of car spare parts in Egypt, despite the launch of several models. However, they are available in a number of locations and have become increasingly popular, especially after the high demand they have achieved in the recent period. Spare parts are available both inside and outside the dealership.

There have also been some complaints about defects in the car, including steering wheel tremors, exposure to excessive heat, a rough starter sound, and paint problems. Numerous problems have emerged with the car and complaints have been filed with the Consumer Protection Agency, while car owners have requested that they make stops at the dealership to resolve car and maintenance issues and provide spare parts that were delayed in 2017. However, there has been no talk about these problems continuing to this day.

The car's ground clearance is 124 mm, which is a decent height even when there is a load inside the car. It comes with a front MacPherson strut suspension and a rear multi-link suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers, but the suspension is ultimately dry like other Chery cars or Esperanza cars before it, which makes the car stable on the road at high speeds, even with a load inside.

The demand for Chery Envy has increased recently due to its low price, as it is considered among the cheapest in Egypt, both in the new and used markets. It achieves good sales, but not very high. In addition, its design is distinctive, it comes with many luxuries and a good engine. However, car owners may lose money when reselling it, like some types of cars on the market that may lose part of their value unexpectedly when reselling.
