Later on a 235hp 2.0 4-cylinder turbo will become available as well, which will bring price dowwn to about 525.000 yuan. China will not get the diesel engines as diesels in passenger cars are forbidden in most Chinese cities.

The vehicle had temporarily ‘test’ licenses behind the windows. Interestingly, the licensed were issued in Shanghai, some 2000 kilometer down south by road. That is what we call a good test!
