On September 29, in response to market rumors that Chery may acquire Maserati, a subsidiary of Stellantis Group, Chery responded that "there is no relevant news."
Previously, it was reported that Stellantis Group is considering selling its ultra-luxury car brand Maserati to Chinese car companies, and Chery may be one of the potential buyers. But then Stellantis Group previously stated in a statement that it had no intention to sell Maserati, nor would it promote its merger with other luxury brands.
As early as August last year, there were also rumors that Xpeng Motors, a new car-making force, would acquire the luxury car brand Maserati and also launch a new brand. In response, Xpeng Motors also responded, saying: The relevant rumors are rumors and there are no related acquisitions.
