Brilliance to launch BS6 Hybrid at Guangzhou Auto Show


hybrid bs6 Brilliance to launch BS6 Hybrid at Guangzhou Auto ShowBrilliance Auto are set to launch their BS6 hybrid auto at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month according to press reports.

The Briliance BS6 is a mixture of 1.8Turbo injection, and nickel hydrogen batteries, which combine together to cut fuel use by an impressive 35%. Fuel consumption on a standard Brilliance BS6 1.8T is said to between 6.2-7.6l per 100km (37 to 30mpg), so the hybrid version looks like it will save a lot of fuel! In 2009/10 Brilliance also plan to produce a plug-in hybrid for home charging.

Currently, the BS6 1.8T ‘Administration Specification’ is priced at a hefty 190,000rmb, so we doubt the hybrid version is going to be much cheaper, unless of course, its not as high as spec.
