Photos of the final production version of the new Beijing Auto Senova D50. It debuted last month in Shanghai and will be launched on the Chinese car market next month. The body work is totally new compared to the current D50, which was launched only three years ago.

Senova name on between the lights. Subtle spoiler integrated in the boot lid. Badge on the left: Beijing Qiche, or Beijing Auto. Badge on the right: Shenbao D50. Shenbao is the Chinese translation of Senova. The engines of the old D50 continue in the new one: a 113hp 1.5 and a 150hp 1.5 turbo.

Size: 4630/1820/1480, and wheelbase is 2670.

Price will range from 70.000 to 110.000 yuan.

The interior as seen in Shanghai. It is totally new too,  and a vast improvement over today’s dull mass of black plastic. The instrument panel appears to be digital and there is a relatively small touch screen standing atop the center stack. Steering wheel with a flat bottom for racing those 150 turbocharged horses through town!
