The Chery Arrizo 6 Pro Hybrid (retailed by CAOA Chery in overseas markets such as Brazil) is a compact hybrid sedan (mild hybrid vehicle, MHEV) underpinned by Chery’s M1X platform. As an integral model in Chery’s global sedan portfolio, it is engineered to offer overseas markets a balanced blend of driving performance and fuel efficiency through an efficient 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system.
Positioned as a family-oriented compact sedan, the Arrizo 6 Pro Hybrid has built a solid reputation in export markets thanks to its well-balanced driving dynamics and generous equipment list.
Market tags: Mild hybrid sedan, global model, high-spec, daily family commuter, MHEV powertrain.
Design positioning: It measures approximately 4,640 mm long, 1,814 mm wide, and 1,493 mm tall, with a 2,650 mm wheelbase. The exterior wears Chery’s signature family face, featuring a distinctive front grille flanked by sharp headlights for a sporty, high-tech look. Inside, the wraparound cabin is fitted with a dual-screen layout and premium soft-touch materials throughout, accentuating overall refinement, comfort, and a modern aesthetic.
Key highlights: At the heart of the car is the "1.5TCI+48V" powertrain architecture. Without requiring any change to everyday driving habits, this mild-hybrid setup sharpens low-end acceleration and improves fuel efficiency, offering a tailored solution designed around overseas emissions standards and varying fuel quality.
Origins (2021–2022): Developed as a global evolution of the Arrizo line, the Arrizo 6 Pro debuted across international markets and swiftly emerged as Chery’s core volume sedan in Latin America (notably Brazil), distributed and assembled via Chery’s joint venture with CAOA.
Hybrid transformation (2023–2025): In response to stricter emissions mandates and surging demand for fuel efficiency, Chery introduced a 48V mild-hybrid (MHEV) system to the range, badged as the "Arrizo 6 Pro Hybrid". This variant significantly reduced fuel consumption while retaining the performance output of the standard petrol model.
Key milestone (2026): The arrival of the 2026 model year brought comprehensive tech enhancements, featuring an upgraded infotainment system and refined advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), further strengthening its foothold in the overseas compact sedan segment.
Competitive landscape: In key markets like Latin America, the model goes head-to-head with established rivals such as Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, and BYD King. Backed by competitive pricing and a spec sheet that easily outclasses joint-venture rivals in its price bracket, it enjoys a loyal customer base across South America and is widely recognised as a "value-for-money choice".
Owner feedback: Owners consistently praise its well-sorted chassis, peppy throttle response, and surprisingly upscale cabin. While not a full plug-in hybrid, the electric torque assist from the 48V MHEV setup delivers smooth, seamless step-off in stop-and-go city traffic, making it a hit among urban family drivers.
1.5TCI + 48V mild hybrid system: Powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid electric motor. The system delivers a total output of around 160 hp (when running on ethanol) and 250 Nm (25.5 kgf.m) of peak torque. Electric assist off the line effectively eliminates turbo lag while lowering overall fuel consumption.
9-speed simulated CVT: Paired with a responsive CVT featuring 9 virtual ratios, providing smooth power delivery and high mechanical efficiency, smartly adapting to driver throttle inputs across various drive modes.
Digital cockpit: Centred around a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, integrated voice control, and multi-information displays for an intuitive user experience.
Safety protection: Packed with advanced driver assistance features such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Monitoring. Built on a high-strength steel chassis, it offers robust crash safety protection and has scored consistently well in international safety assessments.
As of 2026, the strategic focus for the Arrizo 6 Pro Hybrid is:
Regional powertrain tailoring: Continuously fine-tuning engine combustion efficiency and exhaust aftertreatment to suit varying fuel standards and terrain across export markets to cope with more complex vehicle usage requirements.
Smart experience upgrade: Rolling out software OTA updates to refine the infotainment UI and improve ADAS calibration, keeping the tech aligned with local customer connectivity habits.
Ongoing electrification upgrades: In tandem with Chery’s global modular platform roadmap, the model line is poised to adopt higher-density electrified powertrains moving forward, securing its competitive edge in the compact sedan market.
