Chery Karry K60: a compact crossover-style van and what the buyer should know
The Chery Karry K60 is a compact van from Karry, Chery's commercial vehicle division, with a raised crossover style, launched in China in 2016. In this article, we look at its construction, petrol and electric versions, and what to check when buying.
K60 in brief
The Karry K60 is a compact van marketed as a crossover. In reality, it's a raised MPV with plastic body protection, built on a commercial microbus chassis. Versions with five, six, and seven seats are offered.
The car is aimed at families and small businesses needing a spacious, simple, and affordable vehicle. It's very rare in Lithuania, so you'll mostly find it among randomly imported cars.
Petrol and electric versions
The base version comes with a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing around 109hp, a five-speed manual gearbox, and front-wheel drive. The manufacturer states a top speed of around 100 km/h, making it more suited to city driving.
The K60 EV is the electric version with an 80 kW motor and around 300 km range according to NEDC. Later, the same technology was used in other models, such as the Ciwei EV400.
Technology and comfort
Since the K60 is built on a commercial platform, it's simple and robust, but comfort and interior quality are basic. The suspension is designed for loads, not sporty driving.
The cabin is spacious, with comfortable seating arrangements.
What to check when buying a Karry K60
Inspect the body for rust, check the engine, gearbox, suspension and brakes. Many cars have been used intensively for commercial purposes, so it's important to check for excessive wear.
In the case of electric versions, check the condition of the battery. The supply of parts in Lithuania is limited, so find out in advance where you can get them.
