Brilliance FRV 1.8T – Hot hatch for the masses
The Brilliance FRV is an up coming star of the Chinese car industry, its bubbly design, combined with a decent interior, and a range of engines will prove that the Shengyang based Brilliance are well on track with their future plans for world domination.
Brilliance plan to sell 30,000 models of their FRV with a range of engines, including a 1.3l, a 1.6l and a 1.8 engine, and as an addition, a 1.8 turbo assisted model; the same engine as their coupe.
The 1.8Turbo model FRV will be paired to a 6 speed manual gearbox, although we’re unsure of the pricing, we can guess it will be in the 80,000rmb to 100,000rmb. Brilliance recently announced that they were making waves in bringing their 1.8T BS4 to the sub 100,000rmb price range, something which other marques (Chinese and Foreign) have so far been unable (or unwilling) to do.

Wow, and they are going to put in their 6 speed in to boot!
I remember seeing the 1.8t model having a different appearance package, Is the red one pictured, what the production FRV 1.8t?
Nice. I like. A lot better than a ford focus with a beer top side scoop on the side. I DO LIKEE. Bin.
This design rocks. ItalDesign worked on this. One can see a little Fiat Croma around the flanks.
This car is pretty cool, but there is still something that makes it look cheap, I cant put my eye on it.
Is like the copy of the mazda 3, the Haima 3 that looks so cheap and bad built, this car have some of that.
