[edit]

The Karry K60 is available in 5-, 6-, and 7-seater versions. The engine of the K60 is a 1.5 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 109 hp (81 kW) and 140 nm, mated to a five-speed manual transmission powering the front wheels. Top speed of the K60 is 100 km/h (62 mph).[3]

The Karry K60 was launched on the China car market in the third quarter of 2016 with prices starting from 58,800 yuan to 81,800 yuan.[4] Despite the K60 being labeled as an SUV, the Karry K60 compact crossover is essentially a lifted MPV with plastic claddings built on a commercial minivan chassis sharing the underpinnings of the Cowin V3 MPV as Karry has always been Chery's commercial vehicle division.
