A large center console but strangely no large touch screen. Even 30.000 yuan Chery’s come with a giant screen these days. Typical Chinese mix of chrome and wood, but it all loox well put together and the materials seem good enough.

Design sure has some elements in it from other cars but is overall original. Dark color on this car not the best, lines come out better in lighter colors.

  1. A big step into the sedan world for Chang’an. Nice looking front end.
    But, this year in Beijing, I wouldn’t want to be the one who has to remove ice and snow from that odd looking cowl, to free up those windscreen wipers…..

    Oh, and Happy New Year, Mr. De Feyter!
