The best photos so far of the FAW Junpai D80, a new
compact SUV set to debut on next week’s 2018 Beijing Auto Show. The Junpai D80,
formerly known by its code name T068, will hit the Chinese auto market in H2.
Junpai is s brand under First Auto Works (FAW) aimed
at young car buyers in second and third tier cities. Junpai-branded cars are
manufactured by Tianjin-FAW, a FAW subsidiary based in Tianjin. The English
name for the Junpai brand is Jumpal. So
far their cars were rather low end, but FAW wants to move Junpai upmarket and
the D80 is the SUV to support this move.
It sure looks better than the rest
of the Junpai lineup, both design and quality wise. Power comes from a 1.2
turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 140 hp and 204 Nm, mated to a
7-speed DCT.
Size is 4500/1835/1700 mm, and wheelbase is 2700 mm. The D80
seats five, but FAW is said to be working on a longer seven-seat version.
