The Cowin X3 was a compact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese manufacturer Kaiyi Auto (formerly Cowin Auto, a subsidiary of Chery) since 2016. Production for the model was discontinued in 2022.[1]
Overview
The vehicle debuted as the Cowin i-CX concept at the Chengdu Auto Show in August 2014.[2]
The production car was unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show in April 2016 and is being sold in China since June 2016. The X3 is based on the Chery Tiggo 3 and has a spare wheel at the rear.[3]
Powertrain
Like the Tiggo 3, the X3 is powered by a 93 kW (125 hp) 1.6-litre petrol engine. The vehicle has a 5-speed manual transmission as standard, and a continuously variable transmission is available as an option. In 2019, the engine was replaced by a 1.5-litre gasoline engine with 85 kW (114 hp; 116 PS). In 2021, a turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine with 115 kW (154 hp; 156 PS) added to the model range.[4]
