The best photos so far of the production version of the Beijing Auto Senova D50 sedan. It will be launched on the Chinese car market in November. Stylistically a huge departure from the current car, but is it any better..? Platform and engine won’t see any changes. The engine is a rather lazy 1.5 with 114hp. Price will start around $12,000.

The current Senova D50.

Lined up. The massive grille works better on darker colored cars.

The interior gets a big update with a digital instrument panel and a standing touch screen. Steering wheel with a flat bottom for that racy feeling. The seats are sporty and come in three colors.

The manual version.

The rear isn’t as impressive as the front, almost boring in comparison. Wheels are a tad too small and narrow, look at how that front wheel is swimming in the arch.
