History

[edit]

Karry Auto

[edit]

In 2007, Chery Automobile began expanding its offer with commercial and delivery vehicles, starting with the compact kombivan Chery Karry[2] based on the passenger model Fengyun. In the same year, another, smaller model was introduced in the form of a compact, Chery V2 passenger van[3]. Two years later, in 2009, Chery Automobile separated three new brands from its existing offer, one of them was Karry Auto, dedicated exclusively to commercial and passenger cars. Chery Karry was renamed to Karry Youyi, Chery V2 to Karry Youya[4], and in parallel with the debut of the brand, its portfolio was expanded by another model - Youpai/Yousheng[5]. At the end of 2009, Karry's offer consisted of 4 models, thanks to the premiere of another one in the form of the Youyou van.[6].

In the second decade of the 21st century, the Karry range diversified its offer with other types of cars, presenting in 2012 a cheap pickup truck Karry Aika[7], and in the compact minivan Karry K50[8]. A year later, the range was expanded by another new type of car in the form of a crossover based on the K50, the Karry K60[9]. At the turn of the second and third decade of the 21st century, the last combustion Karra models debuted: in 2019, the Youjin T7 pickup line was introduced[10], and in 2022 - model X6[11]. Just two years later, all combustion models disappeared from the Karry range and the company focused exclusively on electric drives.

Karry New Energy

[edit]

In 2017, Chery Commercial Vehicle established a new division, Karry New Energy, which focused on producing electric variants of the Karry models, starting with the K60 EV[12]. A year later, the electric van Youyou EV went on sale, while in 2019 the first model built from scratch was presented with electric drive in mind - delivery vans Karry Dolphin[13]. In 2022, in parallel with the premiere of the X6 model, its variant van was also presented exclusively with electric drive, Karry Porpoise[14] oraz elektryczny wariant pickupa - Elephant[15]. The three latest Karry New Energy models will become the only remaining products in the range after the company switches to fully electric drive in 2024.
