Hawtai
Baolige Plus
This is the
new Hawtai Baolige Plus, as it was unveiled on the 2016 Beijing Auto
Show. The Baolige Plus is
essentially a dressed-up variant of the standard Baolige SUV.
Many Chinese automakers do this to cheaply add a more expensive model
to the lineup, and many call this model ‘plus’. The Baolige Plus comes with en
entire new front end, new alloys, a new interior, and new rear lights.
The Baolige
Plus gets a new 1.5 turbo with yet unknown specifications, but we bet on the
usual 150 Hp and 180 Nm. Gearbox is a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. The Baolige Plus will hit the
Chinese car market in Q3.
The interior
gets a big new 10.1 inch touch screen, but it wasn’t on. The whole interior
looked kinda glued together, see the center console and the foot well, so this
particular car is likely very pre-production.
Those are
the largest lights we saw on the show, truly massive, in red, and connected by
a chrome strip running below the light units. Lower bumper is new too, in shiny
with a fake pipe tio on each side. The real pipe is hiding under the bumper.
