A new flock of photos of the new Brilliance V6 SUV
for China. It will debut later this week on the Guangzhou Auto Show and launch
on the Chinese car market in December. The V6 has become a very good looking
car, with a big and shiny grille that looks especially sweet on this fiery red
car.
Power comes from a 1.5 liter turbocharged
four-cylinder petrol engine with 150 hp. Gear box: a six-speed manual, a
six-speed automatic, or a seven-speed DCT. Three ‘boxes for one engine. Dimension size: 4620/1922/1734 mm, and wheelbase is 2725 mm.
Dash with a big Tesla-like touch screen, analogue
dials with a 7 inch TFT in between, amd a sporty flat bottomed steering wheel.
The infotainment system runs on a new operating system called BriAir, a name
that seems more fittingly for something with air, like an air conditioner or
air purifier.
Brilliance says the voice-recognition system of
BriAir can recognize “20 Chinese dialects”. That would be impressive indeed, no
kidding. There are hundreds of different dialects in China and drivers are normally forced to speak ‘pure’ Mandarin
to voice-activated systems. Brilliance it seems has found a way to let the
locals speak local. More on that as we get it.
Brilliance introduced the BriAir operating system on
a media event where they had a backdrop saying, in English, “Surpassing SIRI,
more intelligent”.
