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.

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.
