What is the DR 6?
The DR 6 is a five-door compact SUV from DR Automobiles, an Italian car group whose DR brand launched in 2006. It sat among the larger vehicles in the DR range and was aimed at drivers wanting the higher seating position and versatile cabin of an SUV. The original DR 6 was based on the Chery Tiggo 5, with DR-specific styling details and trim.
The DR 6 generation ran from 2018 to 2020. The model name later continued under the group’s EVO brand, while the DR range gained the DR 6.0 as a distinct successor. DR’s approach of adapting vehicles developed by Chinese manufacturers for sale under its own brands is part of the company’s identity.
Engines and power
In European Union registration figures, the DR 6 appears with petrol and LPG fuel options. Engines range from 1.5 L to 1.6 L, with power from 108 kW (147 PS) to 114 kW (155 PS). The most registered versions were 1.5 L LPG models rated at 110 kW (150 PS), listed from 2019 through 2021. Those registrations extend beyond the generation’s stated 2018–2020 years, reflecting the model’s presence in registration records across calendar years.
How economical is the DR 6?
The lowest listed consumption is 7 L/100 km on the WLTP test. That figure is tagged to petrol, diesel and hybrid versions, even though the EU market summary for the DR 6 lists petrol and LPG fuels. Treat it as the stated lowest figure rather than a result specific to one fuel or engine. WLTP is the European test procedure; figures from other markets can differ because the USA uses EPA testing and Canada uses a 5-cycle procedure.
The EU registration total is 3,902. The leading listed version was the 1.5 L LPG with 110 kW (150 PS): 1,290 registrations in 2019, 1,216 in 2020 and 580 in 2021.
Where was the DR 6 sold?
The recorded market for this model is the European Union, using EEA registration figures. LPG was a notable part of its recorded mix alongside petrol. DR grew from an Italian automotive group that first introduced its own vehicle in 2006, with a range spanning small city cars and SUVs. The DR 6 brought the brand’s SUV offering into the compact class.
