Lone engine is a 102hp 1.5 liter four cylinder mated to a 5-speed manual. Engine and transmission will continue is the facelifted S30 and price will be about the same.

Grille of current car was evidently too small for Chinese car buyers. The new grille makes that more than right. Three fat chrome bars in the center surrounded by an even fatter one. Bling!
New lights and bumpers, compare to current:
The facelifted S30 looks exactly like the Green Wheel V5 electric car – identical front and rear. One wonders if Green Wheel got hold of the facelift’s bodyshell before Jinbei from a common supplier, or is Green Wheel converting S30s to electric even before the new S30 is out on the market (!)
Of note, the new Yuzhou YZ6410 SUV (from Weichai Power group) utilizes the same bodyshell but different front/rear.
