Chery Arrizo 3: a compact Chinese sedan in the used market
The Chery Arrizo 3 is a compact four-door sedan produced by Chery in China. In this article, we look at who it's suited to, the most common engines and gearboxes, and what you need to know if you're considering buying one in Lithuania.
Arrizo 3 in brief
The Arrizo 3 is a compact-class sedan designed primarily for the Chinese market and some developing countries. It debuted around 2015-2016 as a budget alternative to popular Japanese and Korean sedans.
The main advantage of the model is its low price and ample interior space for the cost. However, it's not officially sold in Lithuania, making it hard to find, and you might face issues with parts and servicing.
Which version to choose
The Arrizo 3 isn't as thoroughly detailed as popular European models, so when deciding, it's usually more important to consider the specific car's technical condition, service history, and trim level rather than the generation.
When choosing, pay attention to the gearbox and body condition. Newer cars typically have more safety and comfort features, but in Lithuania, it's rare to find enough information about specific cars.
Engines and gearboxes
The Arrizo 3 is most often equipped with a small-capacity petrol engine, around 1.5 litres. This engine's power is sufficient for city driving and daily use, but it may struggle on highways and with a fully loaded car.
Transmission — manual or automatic. Before buying, check which type is fitted to the specific car, as this affects both the driving experience and maintenance costs.
What to check when buying an Arrizo 3
Since this model is rare in Lithuania, first find out where the car was imported from and what documents it has. Check if the car meets European standards and if it can be registered.
Inspect the body for corrosion and paintwork issues, check the suspension, engine, and transmission. Test the air conditioning, electronics, and the operation of all doors and windows.
Before buying, find out where parts can be sourced and which mechanics in Lithuania work on this brand — this can significantly impact long-term costs.
