This is the new Beijing Auto Senova X55, a compact
SUV that will be launched on the Chinese car market in September. The new X55
looks stylish and modern, a huge improvement over the boring outgoing car.
The new Senova X55 keeps the 1.5 turbo, but the 1.5
has been deleted. The CVT will be the only gearbox option. An electric version
will be added to the lineup in early 2019. Size is 4480/1837/1680 mm, wheelbase is
2665 mm. Price will start around 90.000 yuan and end around 130.000 yuan.
The instrument panel has two traditional dials with
a 7-inch screen in the middle. The main screen is 9 inch. The ‘AliOS’ operating
system for the infotainment comes from Alibaba. Beijing Auto says the system
comes with a voice control module that can understand 21 kinds of Chinese
dialect.
