Bisu Auto is on a roll, and they have announced big
plans to keep rolling for a while. They currently sell the T3 and T5 SUVs and
the M3 MPV. Until 2020 they will add two more SUVs, two EVs, and a sedan to the
lineup.
Bisu Auto is a brand of the Chonqing Bisu Automotive
Corporation, based in the great city of Chongqing in central China. They are
closely related to Beiqi-Yinxiang, a joint venture that sells cars under the
Huansu brand. The partners in Beiqi-Yinxiang are Beijing Auto (Beiqi) and the
Yinxiang Motorcycle Group.
The two new SUVs will be called the T6 and T7, they
will be positioned above the current SUV lineup. The T6 will be a conventional
SUV, the T7 a SUV-coupe. Earlier this year we saw a design model of the T7, then
called the BT7.
Interestingly, Bisu Auto has no plans to add another
MPV, in a time when the MPV market is growing just as fast as the SUV market.
Every other Chinese car maker is working overtime to ship more MPVs to the
market, but Bisu thinks the M3 is enough. The electric cars will be called the
BA10 and the BA20, both SUVs based on the T3 and T5 respectively.
Finally, the sedan will be called the M10. It bwill
compete in the compact segment, powered by a 1.5 turbo petrol. The T6 and T7
are based on the same platform and will hit the market next year. They look
mostly the same until the B-pillar where the T6 turns into an SUV and the T7
into an SUV coupe.
