The Arrizo 5 PLUS is a compact family sedan from Chery aimed at lower-tier markets and budget-conscious buyers, highlighting durability and well-rounded specifications. The current lineup is dominated by the 2025 1.5L variants, priced between RM71,900 and RM106,900, backed by a lifetime warranty (terms, conditions, and official exclusions apply).
Positioned as a C-segment compact sedan under the Chery marque, its key selling points include an entry-level price point in the RM70,000 bracket, a lifetime warranty programme, a 2,670 mm wheelbase, and a generous 570-litre boot capacity. The 2025 range features variants like the 1.5L CVT Million Classic Edition (RM71,900) and 1.5L CVT Xindong Edition (RM106,900), alongside the 2023 1.5T version which remains on sale.
Up front, the exterior sports a hexagonal dot-matrix front grille complemented by smoked full-width tail lights. Dimensions are rated at 4,680 mm in length, 1,825 mm in width, and 1,490 mm in height, with a 2,670 mm wheelbase. Inside, the cabin features a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and CarLife connectivity, alongside an electronic shift-by-wire gear selector.
The 2025 lineup is powered across the range by a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine (SQRG4G15) producing 88 kW (120 PS) and 148 Nm of torque, mated to a 9-speed virtual CVT. It delivers a WLTC-rated fuel consumption of 6.3L/100 km and a top speed of 180 km/h. Meanwhile, the 2023 1.5T version puts out 115 kW (156 PS) and 230 Nm of torque, paired with the same CVT.
Underneath, the chassis employs a front MacPherson strut and rear torsion beam setup, equipped with an electronic parking brake (EPB) and 16-inch alloy wheels as standard. Kit-wise, standard equipment across the board includes a reverse camera, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and dual front airbags, with higher trims adding a 360-degree surround-view camera. However, side airbags, curtain airbags, and Level 2 ADAS active safety systems are omitted across the entire lineup.
Sales of the Arrizo 5 PLUS have continued to struggle, with monthly figures languishing in single digits in Q1 2026. March 2026 saw just 7 units delivered, bringing its six-month volume to 116 units. The model has largely been sidelined as buyer interest shifts towards the mainstream Arrizo 5 (1,454 units in March) and Arrizo 8 (7,523 units).
Owner Complaints: Feedback on the 12365auto complaint portal is primarily focused on the 2021-2023 model years. Reported issues include transmission shudder/jerking, inability to top up data plans after initial expiry, as well as premature wear requiring replacement of radiator fans, condensers, and cylinder head assemblies on higher-mileage cars.
With monthly sales slipping to just 7 units, the Arrizo 5 PLUS is effectively nearing the end of its lifecycle. At this price point, alternatives such as the more affordable Arrizo 5 (which still commands over a thousand units monthly) or the superior Arrizo 8 make for far better propositions. For buyers still considering one, the 1.5L CVT Million Classic Edition (RM71,900) remains the most practical pick, as the 1.5T variants have largely exited the market.
