It now seems the final production version will finally debut on the Beijing Auto Show in April 2014, a full year later. The delay seems caused by problems concerning the engines. Earlier on we heard the T012 would be powered by a 1.5 and a 1.8. New reports in Chinese automotive media however indicate the only engine available will be a 1.5 turbo mated to a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic. Price will start around 70.000 yuan.
