The R50X gets the usual cross-treatment with skid-plates front and back, extra black plastic around the bumpers, on the wheel arches, and between the wheels. Finishing touch is the roof rack, which will no doubt work very well together with the rear-roof spoiler. All the extra plastic means the R50X will be much heavier than the R50, and so it will be slower and use more fuel. Chinese car buyers however don’t care about all that, they want to be ‘individual’, like going to the mountains in the weekend even if they never go, and they think a cross-car fits within their want.
