Brilliance 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.
