The multi-ethnic team at Qoros is keeping its promises with the precision of a Swiss watch and is going back to the Geneva motor show with its second model in the range ready for production. One year after the announcement of the Qoros 3 Sedan, here comes the Qoros 3 Hatch, with its two-box and 5 doors architecture extending over a length of 4.4 metres. Although it is as much as 215 mm shorter than the Sedan, the Hatch shares the same wheelbase of the Sedan and thus it comes with a comfortable wheelbase of 2.69 metres.

The looks provided by the images released by the young Sino-Chinese maker, create a good impression and this is to no surprise. It is the work of German and much experienced designer Gert Hildebrand, one of the most creative and passionate designers around. Indeed, the 3 Hatch looks even better balanced than the 3 Sedan it is derived from.
