It was the utmost famous taxi in the whole of northern China where streets literally colored red because all the Xiali-taxi’s where painted red. It was a car that people could hate with passion because it frequently broke down, it was also a car that people loved because its tiny engine started on even the coldest day.

The Tianjin Xiali was a licensed copy of the Daihatsu Charade, production of the first TJ730 started in China in 1986, production continues until today with the current Xiali N3, which by la way will be facelifted soon.
