Chinese firm Chery has released the first images of its new Beta 5 SUV concept, ahead of its debut at the Shanghai motor show.

Set to make production in 2015, the Beta 5 is underpinned by the same platform as Chery's Tiggo 5 SUV, but with a more luxurious feel. Its styling is more contemporary than previous Chery models and features LED daytime running lights incorporated into a bolder front grille and bumper arrangement.

There are set to be two engine options for the Beta 5, both petrol-powered. A normally-aspirated 2.0-litre with 130bhp will feature alongside a 1.6-litre supercharged unit producing around 150bhp.

Chery is Jaguar Land Rover's proposed joint venture partner in China.
