The Roewe 550, above, is set to be launched onto the Chinese market by July 2008, presumebly after Roewe have shown off the 550, and the 750 1.8t at the Beijing International Car Show later this year.
The Roewe 550 uses the same 1.8t engine as the the Roewe 750 1.8t, which reaches Chinese 3 emissions standards. The Chinese motoring press believe the Roewe 550 is one of the best Chinese cars to go up against the likes of the Mazda 3, Civic, and the Focus in the Chinese market. The 550 measures 4624mm long by 1827mm wide and 1480mm tall. Some people are hoping the Roewe 550 will be reworked into the MG5 and see European production begin in MGs British factory.
Roewe 550 pricing is expected to be 120,000rmb to 160,000rmb when launched in China.
