BAW’s MPV’s spotted out testing

---

Beijing Auto Work’s own MPV model is certainly gathering speed by the looks of these pictures that clearly show the MPV undergoing group testing on what looks like an athletic track, it is more than likely that the model is getting shown off to higher ups or potential dealers.

The above C30 MPV is certainly looking set to be a good looking car with both manual and automatic gearbox offerings being made available prior to launch, usually Chinese auto makers first launch the manual and leave the automatic to a later date, which is a major mistake in today’s markets. Build quality also appears to be quite solid.

It’s not entirely clear if Beijing Auto Works has gained approval from their joint venture partner, Mercedes, in developing the C30 sedan, as its overall design is quite similar to the Mercedes B-Class range of cars. Beijing Auto Works once developed their own Jeep Cherokee without Chrysler’s blessings, but as Chrysler was then highly involved with Beijing Auto Works they did not voice a complaint.

The C30 MPV is expected to be on show at the Guangzhou Auto Show and an early 2011 or even a late 2010 launch is expected.
