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."

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 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.

South Africa

Thailand

Its non-Japanese competitors, with similar prices, are Naza Forza, Proton Savvy and Kia Picanto.

Since March 2010, Nissan March [K13] was launched. Then buyers are prefer to March and don't want a QQ. Thai Chery planing to sell Chery A1 in 2011, the price is 4xx,xxx baht, similar to QQ.
