DR Automobiles. The brand founded by entrepreneur Massimo di Risio is preparing to close 2021 with over 8,000 registrations, with the goal for 2022 to exceed 12,000 units, which translates into three-digit growth compared to 2020. If the technology, powetrains and components come mostly from China, thanks to the collaboration with Chery for Dr and Jac for the Evo brand models, Macchia d’Isernia is the heart of the company.
Dr, the gamma
The strength of the Dr and Evo range is the offer of eight SUVs combined with a long list of engines including petrol / LPG and also 100% electric. In detail, the Dr range sees the presence of the compact Dr3 SUV, just under 4.20 meters long and derived from the Chinese Chery Tiggo 3x, combined with the 1.5 petrol 106 hp and 1.5 bifuel engines with similar power. Going up in size, to 4.32 meters, the Dr 4.0 derived from the Chery Tiggo 4 is positioned. On the petrol only or LPG engines front: the 1.5 aspirated 116 hp and 114 LPG combined with the manual gearbox, or the 1.5 turbo from 154 hp (150 hp gas) with automatic transmission. At the top of the range the Dr F35, derived from the Chery Tiggo 7, owes the aggressive front to the Italian style center. The four-cylinder engine is a 1.5 turbo petrol or bi-fuel LPG.
Evo, the range
Moving on to the Evo brand, we start from the 3 also available in an electric version and derived from the Jac iEV7S. In addition to the Electric with 300 km of autonomy, the 1.5 petrol and bifuel LPG thermal version is available. The Evo 4, 4.33 meters long, derives from the Jac S3 and is updated thanks to details such as the different bumper. Here we find the 114 hp 1.6 petrol engine and 106 hp bifuel LPG. The offer closes with the Evo 5, also of Chinese origin and updated in Italy, powered by the 1.6 petrol engine with 126 hp or 118 hp if in the LPG version.
