Chery Very (A13): Which Version Should You Buy?
The Chery Very (A13) catalogue contains one generation and one version, so there is no choice between engines, transmissions, drivetrains, or model generations. The only listed option is the 1.5 MT, a five-door hatchback produced from 2011 to 2016. It combines a 1497 cc Gasoline engine producing 109 hp and 140 Nm with a 5-speed Manual gearbox and FWD.

The only listed option is the 1.5 MT, a five-door hatchback produced from 2011 to 2016. It combines a 1497 cc Gasoline engine producing 109 hp and 140 Nm with a 5-speed Manual gearbox and FWD. Because there are no alternative versions in the supplied data, the buying decision depends on whether these specifications, performance figures, and fuel-consumption results suit your needs.
Chery Very A13 generations compared
The Chery Very (A13) has 1 generation in the catalogue. The 1 generation ran from 2011 to 2016 and was offered as a Hatchback 5-door. It contains 1 version, named 1.5 MT.
There is therefore no later generation to compare with the Chery Very A13 2012 or with another production period. The supplied data also provides no separate restyling or alternative body style. A car from 2012 belongs to the same generation and uses the same listed version as the rest of the 2011–2016 range.
Chery Very A13 engine and specs
The 1.5 MT uses a 1497 cc Gasoline engine with 4 cylinders in an Inline layout. It has 4 valves per cylinder, a compression ratio of 10.5, and a bore and stroke of 77.4 × 79.5. The engine is Front, transverse and uses Distributed injection (multi-point). Boost is listed as No.
Its maximum output is 109 hp (80 kW) at 6000 rpm, while maximum torque is 140 Nm at 4500 rpm. Based on the supplied displacement and output, the engine produces approximately 72.8 hp per litre. Torque output is approximately 93.5 Nm per litre.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 MT | 109 hp (80 kW) at 6000 rpm | 140 Nm at 4500 rpm | 1497 cc | Gasoline, 92 | 4 | Inline | No | 5-speed Manual | FWD |
With only one engine and transmission combination available, buyers do not have to weigh stronger performance against lower consumption or choose between Manual and Automatic gearboxes. The key question is simply whether a 109 hp, 5-speed Manual, FWD hatchback meets the intended use.
Chery Very A13 performance, fuel economy, and MPG figures
The 1.5 MT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 13 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 160 km/h. No second version is present, so neither an acceleration advantage nor a top-speed difference can be calculated against another Chery Very (A13).
Fuel consumption for the 1.5 MT is 7.7 L/100 km in the city, 5.8 L/100 km on the highway, and 7.2 L/100 km combined. City consumption is 1.9 L/100 km higher than the highway figure, while combined consumption is 1.4 L/100 km above the highway result and 0.5 L/100 km below the city result.
The fuel tank holds 50 litres. CO₂ emissions are not measured, and the environmental class is not measured. MPG figures are not measured in the supplied data; only consumption in L/100 km is available.
Chery Very A13 dimensions, weight, and capacity
The 1.5 MT has a kerb weight of 1275 kg and a gross weight of 1575 kg, a difference of 300 kg. Its ground clearance is 140 mm, and its fuel-tank capacity is 50 litres. Wheel sizes are not measured.
Using the supplied kerb weight and power, the 1.5 MT carries approximately 11.7 kg per horsepower. Expressed the other way around, it delivers approximately 85.5 hp per tonne of kerb weight. These calculated ratios provide a clearer basis for judging the only available version when no more powerful or lighter alternative exists in the catalogue.
The front suspension is Independent, spring, while the rear suspension is Dependent, spring. Braking is handled by Ventilated disc brakes at the front and Drum brakes at the rear. Overall exterior length, width, height, and wheelbase are not measured.
Chery Very A13 reliability and problems
Reliability results are not measured, and specific problems are not measured in the supplied data. The catalogue figures describe the mechanical specification, performance, consumption, weight, and running gear, but they do not support claims about common faults, repair frequency, durability, or maintenance costs.
For that reason, the 1.5 MT cannot be ranked against another Chery Very (A13) version for reliability. There is no second engine, gearbox, drivetrain, or generation in the data from which a lower-risk alternative could be selected.
Which Chery Very (A13) version should you buy?
Choose the 1.5 MT if you want the Chery Very (A13), because it is the only version in the catalogue. It provides 109 hp and 140 Nm from 1497 cc, uses a 5-speed Manual gearbox and FWD, accelerates to 100 km/h in 13 seconds, and has a maximum speed of 160 km/h. Its combined fuel consumption is 7.2 L/100 km, and its 1275 kg kerb weight works out to approximately 11.7 kg per horsepower.
There is no extra money to justify for a stronger engine, Automatic gearbox, AWD system, newer generation, or different body type in the supplied range: none of those alternatives is listed. Likewise, there is no generation change to evaluate, because the model remains within a single 2011–2016 generation.
The practical buying conclusion is direct: the 1.5 MT is the only specification choice, so selection should focus on whether its Manual transmission, FWD, 109 hp output, 13-second acceleration time, 140 mm ground clearance, and stated fuel consumption fit the buyer’s requirements. Questions about price, individual vehicle condition, equipment, and reliability cannot be resolved from the supplied catalogue data because those values are not measured.
