Earlier spy shot of the front.

The FAW Oley hatchback is based on the Oley sedan which was launched in April last year. Last December we saw spy shots of a slightly facelifted sedan but the status of that project is unclear.

The hatchback will be powered by the same engine as the sedan; a 1.5 liter four-cylinder with 100hp and 135nm, mated to a five-speed manual or 4-speed automatic.  Size: 4200/1660/1465, wheelbase is 2525. Length of the sedan is 4485.
