These are the very first pictures of the final Brilliance V5 SUV. The V5 will debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show in late November, it will be listed before the end of the year. The V5 (fka A3 SUV) is based on the same platform as the Brilliance H530 sedan that was listed earlier.

Two engines: a Mitsubishi 1.6 with 119hp and 151nm and Brilliance’s own 1.5 turbo with 136hp and 200nm. Transmission: 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic. Price will start around 85.000 yuan.

V5 still loox a lot like BMW X1 which will be made in China soon by… the Brilliance-BMW joint venture. Who needs enemies with friends like Brilliance?
