Criticisms

Copyright controversy
The QQ became the center of an industrial copyright and intellectual rights controversy, as General Motors claimed the car was a copy of the Daewoo Matiz (which is marketed outside South Korea as the Chevrolet Spark). GM executives demonstrated the extent of the design duplication, noting for example that the doors of the QQ and those of the Spark are interchangeable without modification.

GM China Group indicated the two vehicles "shared remarkably identical body structure, exterior design, interior design and key components". MotorAuthority.com and Car and Driver called the QQ a "carbon copy", while the International Herald Tribune, in a 2005 article, referred to it as a clone. The Detroit News reported that "the dispute reflects the confusion, risks and ambitions in China's new auto industry, where global carmakers are battling pugnacious upstarts for a piece of what may become the world's largest auto market".

Generations

First Generation (2003–present)
Second generation (2012?–)

Worldwide

• Iran: In Iran, the Daewoo Matiz had been assembled by local company called Kerman Khodro since 2000 in a joint venture with Daewoo. After being acquired by GM following its 2001 bankruptcy, Daewoo stopped supplying Complete knock down kits to Iran due to a ban imposed by GM. As a result, Kerman Khodro licensed the identical Chery QQ as a replacement and put it into production at their subsidiary Modiran Vehicle Manufacturing Company.
• Philippines: At Php 349,000 (roughly less than US $7,500), the QQ is one of the cheapest cars in the Philippines. QQs in red are commonly used by Coca-Cola Philippines as company cars, replacing the Hyundai Getz. In mid-2009, the car was renamed QQ3 due to the introduction of the QQ6 in the country.
• Singapore: The QQ is sold in Singapore and is one of the cheapest cars in the city state.
• South Africa: Four QQ3 models are available in South Africa since May 2008. It was the cheapest car when launched.
• Thailand: QQ cars are available in Thailand since 2009. This car is not the cheapest car in the country, due to high car taxes and high tariffs since they are not built in Thailand or an ASEAN country, but imported from China. Its non-Japanese competitors, with similar prices, are Naza Forza, Proton Savvy and Kia Picanto.
• Vietnam: The QQ is the cheapest car in Vietnam.

Sri Lanka

The Chery QQ is one of the cheapest cars in Sri Lanka. It was introduced with a huge advertising campaign. Its main competitors are Maruti 800 and Perodua Viva.
