Under the patronage of SAIC, MG Motors has developed an entirely new MG6, which will go on sale in China this year, before being exported to the UK in 2018. Visually, the compact four-door model has a grille that appears to have been inspired by the Mercedes-Benz A-Class Concept, projector headlights with incorporated LED DRLs, and a fastback profile that's reminiscent of its predecessor. Inside, the new MG6 has a minimalistic dashboard design, large turbine-shaped side air vents, the Zebra 2.0 infotainment system, an interactive LCD instrument panel, 3-spoke multi-function steering wheel, push-button start, sport front seats with manual adjustment, leather trim with contrast stitching, and carbon-like inserts. The new MG6 is based on the same architecture as the Roewe i6, which debuted at last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, with two powertrain options: petrol and hybrid. Car News China reports that MG's latest model is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged e...

General Motors' Chinese joint venture SAIC-GM-Wuling has introduced the Baojun E100, a small electric car inspired by the Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. Priced from RMB 35,800, which is equal to $5,326 at today's exchange rates, the E100 is powered by a single motor that pushes 39 horses (40PS) and 81lb-ft (110Nm) of torque to the wheels. The Baojun E110 can reach a top speed of 62mph (100km/h), and its lithium-ion battery pack, whose capacity remains undisclosed for now, can be fully charged in 7.5 hours, providing it with a zero-emission range of up to 96 miles (155km). It also has independent front-wheel suspension and single-arm rear suspension, electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), anti-lock brakes (ABS), electric power steering, pedestrian alert, electronic parking brake, parking sensors, and ISOFIX locks for child safety seats. Inside, it can sit two adults that will get to enjoy the 7-inch screen infotainment system with Wi-Fi, in the most basic version, wh...

After a number of teaser and leaked images, SAIC Motor's MG E-Motion has bowed at the Shanghai Auto Show and offers an intriguing glimpse at what the British marque could bring to the market in the future. No powertrain details have been published by the company just yet but it is thought to be powered by an all-electric powertrain that offers up enough punch to accelerate the concept to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 4 seconds. Although the powertrain could appear in some form or another in a future MG vehicle, it is the exterior and interior design of the E-Motion that is of most importance as it previews the future design language for the company. According to the head designer at SAIC Motor, Shao JingFeng, the design of the E-Motion is “more friendly” than the looks of the brand's existing models. The front of the concept is perhaps the most eye-catching element of the concept. It includes an intriguing new front grille with a matte silver border and a pair of headli...

Developed by the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture, the all-new Baojun 310 Wagon has made its public debut at the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show. As the brand's first offering of its kind in this segment, it joins its hatch sibling which debuted last year, and looks pretty much just like it, bar the extended rear end. It is 4,620 mm (181.9 in) long, 1,710 mm (67.32 in) wide, and 1,535 mm (60.43 in) tall, and can carry up to five people, and their luggage in the flat 740-liter cargo area, which doubles in size with the rear seats folded. Inside, it gets a dark beige tone for "a high-quality feel", as the automaker explains, and has an 8-inch LCD screen for the entertainment system and GPS navigation, which is joined by the additional amenities found on upper models, such as keyless entry and push-button start, rearview camera, and the six-way power adjustable driver's seat. Baojun also offers a suite of advanced safety and comfort features, with the list counting cruise...

Not to be confused with Skoda’s Vision E Coupe Crossover Concept, this is the Roewe Vision-E Concept, revealed in the lead up to the Shanghai Auto Show. Roewe, a brand created by SAIC Motor in 2006, isn’t a familiar name outside of China but its Vision-E Concept has a seriously impressive design that proves the Chinese can design and build vehicles that look just as good as those from the established European marques. Local media says the Vision-E Concept will spawn a production model next year that it will have a very similar design. The most immediate thing that attracts attention to the SUV is its front fascia, dominated by a huge grille that seamlessly joins to a set of LED headlights that incorporate six amber-colored lights on each side. The grille is also illuminated by bright white lights while a set of symmetrical L-shaped daytime running lights are found near the base of the bumper. While the huge wheels with illuminated spokes largely dominant the sides of the conce...
