Beijing Auto Show Preview: Huatai Does the Cayenne
Published on April 21, 2010 by Tycho de Feyter
It is great to see not all Chinese car companies copy Toyotas. Huatai is more brave than BYD and takes on mighty Porsche with this new SUV. A concept so far but the B11 made it to production so this one will likely roll of the line as well. What do the Germans think? More pictures:
Beijing Auto Show Preview: Huatai B21

The sedans are falling out of the sky like a Beijing’s summer rain, that’s a lot of rain around 17:00 after a hot hot day. This is another sedan from Huatai, the B21. That makes 3 sedans from Huatai for the Beijing Auto Show, this B21, the B11 and the C11. Again it is hard to say where this new car will slot in the Huatai-line. All sedans look even big but this B21 loox a bit sportier, maybe that’s the plan… More as we get it.
Beijing Auto Show Preview: Huatai C11
Published on April 19, 2010 by Tycho de Feyter
Huatai will bring another blingbling sedan to the Beijing Auto Show. This is the C11 which will stand next to the B11. Both vehicles look about the same size so it’s a bit difficult to see now whether the C11 is either a more expensive or a cheaper alternative to the B11. Lines are a little Chrysler 300C with a different back. More news on the C11 as we get it.

Huatai’s beautiful B11 is getting ready for its Beijing debut and what is likely one of the showcars was seen outside a Huatai facility with a sticker on the side which tell us what those pretty lines do hide:
