Chery was founded in Wuhu, Anhui, in 1997 and grew from a local Chinese automobile project into a major exporter of passenger vehicles.
The brand name is an English rendering associated with Qirui, meaning auspicious or lucky, and its early badge used a red oval form with interlocking letter shapes often read as Chery Automobile Corporation. In the 2010s, Chery refined the emblem into a cleaner, more dimensional oval and triangular structure, keeping the red corporate color while making the mark more suitable for global markets. Recent brand applications pair the emblem with a simplified CHERY wordmark to support international visibility across vehicles, dealers, and digital channels.
