The good old Roewe 360 may live a little longer
still. It has received another facelift and is now called the Roewe 360 Plus. The facelift includes new headlights, a new grille, new rear lights,
new bumpers, and an updated interior with new leather seats and an 8 inch touch
screen for the #nfotainment.
The Roewe 360 has always been underpowered. To ‘fix’
that he 360 Plus gets a massive hike of seven horses over the old car, from
109 to 116 hp. That still won’t make it speedy.
The Roewe 360 Plus will launch on the Chinese car
market later this month. Price will start around 80,000 yuan or US$ 12,000. When
the new Roewe i6 arrived many expected the 360 to die. Base price of the i6 is
exactly 10,000 yuan higher than the base price of the current 360, and the i6
is a far more modern car.
It does look better than the old interior and the
new touch screen is nice, but it is ancient stuff compared to the i6. The Plus
gets a new twin-tailpipe to get the exhaust away from that thundering 116 hp
1.5.
