These are the very first pictures of the production version of the Zhongxing Urban Ark, it will debut on the Shanghai Auto Show in April and it will be launched on the China auto market in the second half of this year. Price will range from 70.000 to 90.000 yuan.
The Zhongxing Urban Ark debuted as a concept on the Beijing Auto Show in April last year. There were two versions: one with a more round front fascia known by its code name C12 and this much straighter version known as C11. Zhongxing apparently decided to go for the C11. Power will come from a Mitsubishi-sourced 1.5 with 113hp and 147nm, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Size: 4000/1650/1750.
“Is that Ssangyong Motor Company? You know that award for the Worlds Ugliest Car we gave you a few years ago for the Rodius? Can we have it back please? We’ve found a new home for it in China.”
Front end looks like a Cherokee in a tight squeeze.
Back end looks like they went for the cost-down version.
Originality for its own sake rarely works.
looks like a cartoon car
This beyond ugly.
