Beijing preview: Roewe 550

Roewe 550


If you thought that the Roewe 550 must be a premium European-built sedan, then you will be forgiven because despite its European roots (formerly MG Rover) the good-looking Roewe 550 that you see here is from a Chinese car maker and was built in China.

The body of the car is designed stylishly and with an interior that looks modern, stylish and well-fitted. The dash is beautifully designed with a futuristic-looking centrally-mounted tachometer and flanked by a digital speedometer and sat-nav display.

Keyless entry appears to be standard with a smart card that doubles up with an engine start/stop function - a gimmick that appears in many top-end sedans and sports cars but not something that you would expect from a Chinese car maker.

Technical specifications are unknown until after its grand unveiling in Beijing.

Beijing Motor Show: Changan V802 Concept

Changan V802 Concept


It appears that alongside Geely, another Chinese car maker Changan is also keen to overturn China's poor reputation in the automotive industry with a smart looking hatchback that is set to make its debut in concept form in Beijing later this month.

Changan V802 Concept


Changan Motor's V802 Concept is a smartly designed 'Euro-style' hatchback similar to the Toyota Corolla, Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf and Holden Astra with a touch of aggression courtesy of the pumped guards, nine-spoke alloy wheels and high-mounted taillights.

Technical specifications are pretty much non-existent at this stage but expect more to be revealed after its launch at the Beijing Motor Show. Meanwhile, enjoy these two images of the Changan V802 Concept.
