Qoros 2 SUV PHEV Concept unveiled

Qoros says the 2 Concept offers “a look into the possibilities for the brand’s future”. Revealed at the Auto Shanghai motor show, it's a B-segment SUV that would primarily target younger buyers.

Distinctive styling cues include bold vertical light clusters, a high waistline, prominent wheel arch bulges and short overhangs. The interior meanwhile is intended to be spacious, modern and minimalist.

A plug-in hybrid system comprises two electric motors that power the rear wheels, plus a small-capacity turbocharged petrol engine which sends its output to the front axle. Those elements can be run together or in isolation depending on the driving mode selected.

Built into the floorpan is an ultra-high density battery pack. Instead of using a traditional cable for recharging, Qoros has devised a novel aircraft-inspired retractable probe that's designed to work with special receiver sockets. The concept's under-body contactless inductive charging plate seems like a more realistic proposition, though.
