This is the new Beijing Auto Huansu S5 SUV for
China. The Huansu S5 stands on the same platform as the Beijing Auto Senova X55. Huansu (‘Magic Speed’) is a new
sub-brand under Beijing Auto.
The Huansu series are manufactured by Beiqi
Yinxiang Automobile, a joint venture between the Beijing Auto
(Beiqi) and the Yinxiang Motorcycle Group based in Chongqing.
The Huansu S5 will get a new F13B 1.3
liter turbocharged engine with 133 Hp and 185 Nm, mated to a five-speed manual or
a CVT. This is the same engine that will also power the upcoming Bisu T3. It is made by a Chongqing company called Kaite Engine, and it will
be used to power several more cars under the Beijing Auto umbrella, including
mini MPVs and mini vans. Transmission for the S5 will be a five-speed manual. Dimension size is 4460/1820/1685 mm, wheelbase is 2650 mm.
The S5 will likely be a bit cheaper than the X55.
Expect price to start around 70.000 yuan. It will be launched on the Chinese
auto market in January.
The interior looks very good for the segment.
Steering wheel a bit odd, designers likely wanted to make the wheel look like
the grille, but it didn’t really work out. Touch screen seems to be a 10
incher. Manual ‘box here, with a hand brake that looks extremely old fashioned.
