Changhe
Q25
The
Changhe Q25 has been unveiled on the Guangzhou Auto Show. The Changhe Q25 is a
new sub-compact crossover for China, it will be launched on the Chinese car
market just before the end of the year, and price will start around 55.000
yuan.
The
Changhe Q25 is based on the upcoming Beijing Auto Senova X25, both cars are
essentially the same bar for the badges and some interior details. Changhe Auto
was saved from certain doom by Beijing Auto in 2013, and the Q25 is their
second new car after the Furuida M50.
It
looks rather hip in white and black, with black window frames and absolute
useful roof rails. Wheels are tiny as always but shiny alloys are sporty, and
red brakes are just heavy-too-cool. Plastic
carbon on dash, racy perforated pedals, analogue dials with a small display in
between, and a much bigger touch screen on top of the center stack.
The
Change Q25 will get the same four-cylinder petrol engines as the Senova X25: a
99 hp 1.3-liter and a 113 hp 1.5-liter, mated to a five-speed manual or a five-speed
automatic.
