The SouEast DX
Concept has been unveiled on the Beijing Auto Show, looking speedy in brown
with winglets in the bumper. The DX Concept previews a future compact SUV aimed
at young first car buyers. The real thing will be called DX3 and is expected to hit the Chinese
car market late this year.
The DX Concept is designed by none other than Pininfarina, the famous
Italian studio that also drew the SouEast DX7 SUV. The DX3 will look very similar and as the concept car, with the
exception of the rear and tail lights and the bumpers. The DX3 will be
available with Mitsubishi-sourced 1.5L and
1.5L turbo four-cylinder petrol engines,
mated to a five-speed manual or a CVT, sending power to the front wheels.
Instrument panel in a gray pd. Gear lever in a piano black panel.
Large touch screen on top of the center stack, orange seats,
they are all the fashion late among local Chinese automakers.
SouEast keeps using their controversial spelling, still refusing to
go for SouthEast.
