New photos of the upcoming facelift for the Brilliance V3 crossover, showing off its heavenly shiny
grille and even more shine around the headlights and around the fog lights. The bumper got a lot bigger too. The facelifted V3 will be
launched on the Chinese auto market in Q2.
Price starts at 67.500 yuan and
ends at 117.700 yuan. Engines are 112 hp 1.5 and a 150 hp 1.5 turbo.
Even more impressive than that grille is the new
touch screen, measuring at least 15 inch and the graphics appear to be very clear.
There are no buttons on the center stack and tunnel so the screen will likely
take care of all. The instrument panel is digital too.
The technology behind these screens and panels is
fast becoming very cheap, and almost every Chinese automaker is going fully
digital now. Those too poor to buy a new car can retro-fit an after-market
touch screen, after the wires are connected everything will work as if it was
factory-made.
And you don’t even need to go the parts market, even
official brand-dealers are selling the screens, mostly without permission of
the automaker. So you can go to, for example, a Hyundai dealer. Their screens
are tiny. The dealer will offer you a third-party touch screen which they will
then build-in.
Rear end of the facelifted car. The lights have
actually grown bigger, going against the trend of smaller taillights. New
bumper section however is a huge improvement over the current car where it
looked.
