Chery A5

The Chery A5 is a compact car that was produced by the Chinese manufacturer Chery from 2006 to 2010. This car appears to take inspiration from the third-generation Nissan Altima, despite being unrelated. A facelifted variant of the A5 called the Cowin 3 was produced from 2010 to 2013.

Not to be confused with Audi A5.
