China’s Changfeng Motor is about to launch a new
premium SUV, likely the first of a line. The new car will be called the Liebao
Maitu, it is based on the Liebao CS10 but with different looks and a totally
different interior. Eye catcher is the enormous and ultra shiny grille.
Changfeng took a good look at Mercedes-Benz for the
interior, and the result is impressive. A very good looking screen extending
from the instrument binnacle to the main touch screen. The screen is partly free-standing,
giving it an almost-floating look.
Power comes from a 1.6 turbo with 204 Hp, probably
the highest-output 1.6 turbo by a Chinese carmaker so far. The Changfeng Liebao
(English name: Leopard, with one ‘A’) Maitu will debut on the Beijing Auto Show
in April and launch on the Chinese car market in June. Price will start around
120,000 yuan.
