About Kaiyi

Kaiyi (凯翼) is a former Chery sub-brand acquired by Yibin Wuliangye Group in 2018; Chery retains technology and platform support. The lineup focuses on the budget end of the Chinese market — sedans (E5) and compact crossovers (X3, X3 Pro). Engines are Chery 1.5L and 1.5T units. In Russia Kaiyi is sold via parallel imports as a budget alternative to Chery — same mechanics, lower badge.
