The sedan is based on the Buick Excelle and will get a 1.5 litre engine and possible a 1.8, earlier we heard rumors about a different engine-line up; with a 1.4 and a 1.6. New rumors about the price as well; earlier we heard 50.000 to 80.000 yuan, now it seems the car will be positioned more upmarket with a price that will start around 100.000 yuan.

The sedan will compete with cars like the Beijing-Hyundai Elantra, the BYD G3, the Geely-Emgrand EC& and the Roewe 350.
