Chery Bonus (A13)

Which Chery Bonus (A13) Version Should You Buy?

The Chery Bonus (A13) catalogue contains one generation and one version, so there is no alternative engine, gearbox, body style, or generation to compare. The sole choice is the 1.5 MT, a Sedan produced from May 2011 to November 2016. It combines a 1497 cc Gasoline engine producing 109 hp and 140 Nm with a 5-speed Manual gearbox and FWD.

Therefore, choosing a Chery Bonus (A13) is less about selecting between versions and more about deciding whether the specifications of this single configuration meet your needs.

Chery Bonus (A13) generations and versions

The Chery Bonus (A13) has one generation in the supplied catalogue. The 1 generation was produced from May 2011 through November 2016 and was offered as a Sedan. It contains one version, 1.5 MT, covering the same production period.

Because the catalogue lists no other generation or restyling, there are no documented generation-to-generation changes to compare. Likewise, searches for a Chery Bonus (A13) from 2011 or 2012 lead back to the same 1.5 MT specification in these data: 109 hp, 140 Nm, a 5-speed Manual gearbox, and FWD.

Chery Bonus (A13) engine and specs

The 1.5 MT uses a 1497 cc Gasoline engine with 4 cylinders in an Inline layout. It has no boost and runs on 92 fuel. Maximum output is 109 hp, or 80 kW, at 6000 rpm, while maximum torque is 140 Nm at 4500 rpm. The compression ratio is 10.5.

Its specific output is approximately 72.8 hp per litre, calculated from 109 hp and 1497 cc. Torque output is approximately 93.5 Nm per litre, based on 140 Nm and the same displacement. With no second version in the catalogue, these figures cannot be ranked against another Chery Bonus (A13) powertrain.

The number of valves per cylinder is not measured. Engine location is not measured, the fuel-supply system is not measured, and bore and stroke are not measured. Those missing values should not be inferred from the engine’s displacement, cylinder count, or Inline layout.

Performance, fuel economy, and mpg data

The 1.5 MT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 16 seconds and has a maximum speed of 160 km/h. City fuel consumption is 9.7 litres per 100 km, highway consumption is 5.8 litres per 100 km, and combined consumption is 7.2 litres per 100 km.

The city figure is 3.9 litres per 100 km higher than the highway figure. Combined consumption sits 1.4 litres per 100 km above the highway result and 2.5 litres per 100 km below the city result. These comparisons describe the same 1.5 MT version under different consumption categories; they do not compare separate engines.

CO₂ emissions are not measured, and the emissions class is not measured. No additional mpg figure is supplied, so none should be inferred from the listed consumption values.

Dimensions, weight, clearance, and tank capacity

The 1.5 MT has a kerb weight of 1200 kg and a gross weight of 1575 kg, a difference of 375 kg. Its ground clearance is 162 mm, and its fuel tank holds 50 litres.

At kerb weight, the car carries approximately 11.0 kg per horsepower, calculated from 1200 kg and 109 hp. The inverse measure is approximately 90.8 hp per tonne. These arithmetic indicators help place the available power in the context of the car’s mass, but there is no second Bonus (A13) version against which to compare them.

Wheel sizes are not measured. The front suspension is Independent, spring, while the rear suspension is Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem. The front brakes are Disc and the rear brakes are Drum, using the English labels supplied in the catalogue.

Which Chery Bonus (A13) version should you choose?

Within these data, the answer is unambiguous: 1.5 MT is the only version available to choose. There is no more powerful engine, automatic gearbox, alternative drive system, or later generation in the catalogue. Consequently, there is no documented “extra money” upgrade whose benefits can be quantified.

Choose the 1.5 MT if its fixed specification suits the intended use: 109 hp, 140 Nm, 16-second acceleration to 100 km/h, a 160 km/h maximum speed, and combined consumption of 7.2 litres per 100 km. Its 5-speed Manual gearbox and FWD are also fixed parts of the package rather than selectable alternatives.

For shoppers comparing a 2011 and a 2012 Chery Bonus (A13), the supplied catalogue records both years within the same 1 generation and the same 1.5 MT production run. It provides no year-specific changes, so a claim that one of those years has different power, torque, performance, economy, or equipment would not be supported by the data.

Problems, reliability, and maintenance information

Reliability ratings, owner-review results, recurring problems, battery specifications, timing-belt details, oil-filter part numbers, service intervals, and repair costs are not measured in the supplied data. The catalogue therefore cannot use those topics to recommend one model year over another.

The specification-based buying decision remains straightforward: there is one 1 generation, one Sedan body, and one exact version, 1.5 MT. If its 109 hp Gasoline engine, 5-speed Manual gearbox, FWD system, 162 mm clearance, and stated performance and consumption figures are acceptable, it is the relevant Chery Bonus (A13) choice; if they are not, this catalogue contains no alternative Bonus (A13) configuration.
