The littlest 550: Roewe 350 spotted again


The Roewe 350 is likely to be getting ready for its launch at the Guangzhou Auto Show next month, where we will see its transformation from concept car to production car. However, the Roewe 350 has been spotted out yet again:

Roewe fans will notice that this is the first time that the 350 interior has been leaked to the internet. The interior itself is very similar to the Roewe 550′s, however it appears that the dashboard wood has taken on a different shade. Rather than being the dark streaks that fit so well in the 550, the 350 seems to have taken on some sort of last generation Toyota Corolla faux wood trim.

It appears that the 350 really is a mini 550 in terms of size, and specification. It’s not entirely clear what powerplant will be under the hood, it could be the 1.8DVVT from the 550, or there could be smaller 1.5 and 1.5T units waiting for the MG version.

    Here, here Patrick.

    Does my MGZS have to be on it’s last legs before I can buy an MG6 or this new one? I can’t wait forever. God forbid I might have to buy a Peugeot.

    And can someone tell me Longbridge is actually going to get to build either of these? Chinese wages may be lower but it has to be negated by paying import duty to Europe doesn’t it????

    MG Brand vehicles are not popular enough in british right now.

      Don’t confuse MG with Rover – MG is fondly remembered by all, and still very popular in Britain. Give the British something worth buying and they will buy it!

    Yes, MG is a popular brand. The fact that MG TF sales are sluggish is because zero effort whatsoever has been made to update it – apart from removing one slat from the grill! Remember the basic model was introduced in Europe in 1995.

    The British are just waiting to be able to buy a decent car in the lower cost segment(Chinese components but British built for Europe hopefully).

    Not everyone can stretch to a Jaguar and Vauxhalls aren’t particularly exciting, plus their future hangs in the balance.

    The old Z cars were brilliant fun, despite chronic underinvestment.
