Chery Malaysia is set to organise its brand launch in Malaysia on 6-July 2023, at the same time introducing two of their SUVs: the Chery Omoda 5 and Chery Tiggo 8 Pro.

Rendering guru, The Ajerul, has rendered the upcoming 2020 Perodua D55L with a twist, giving the new B-segment SUV the Bezza’s front-end.
