The Huatai B11 has officially come down the production line today and will be available for sale in a matter of weeks. The Huatai B11 will go by its Chinese name of 元田 (Yuan Tian) and will be available with a SAIC sourced 1.8T engine to start with, although its much talked about diesel variant will launch within a few weeks.

The 1.8T engine is the same as the one found in the Roewe 550 and the MG6, which is a 160bhp unit producing 118kw and 215Nm of torque. Interestingly, the B11 is using a Linux powered media center which can play DVD’s, or give the driver navigation functions, and of course is also a 3G connected device meaning that it will be connected to the internet 24/7.

The B11 will find some stiff competition, as this segment is already quiet full. JAC’s Bing Yue, the Brilliance BS6 and the BYD F6 are its main competitors from China. Pricing is expected to be around 100,000rmb.
