The FAW Junpai D60 SUV will be launched on the Chinese car market in Q4, and that is later than previously expected. Price will start around 70.000 yuan and end around 120.000 yuan. ‘Junpai’ is a new brand under the First Auto Works (FAW) umbrella, the D60 is their first car. Junpai-branded cars will be manufactured by Tianjin-FAW, a FAW subsidiary.

Next up is a small SUV to compete with cars like the Changan CS35, followed by a compact SUV to compete with cars like the Ford Ecosport, followed again by a compact sedan based on the cancelled Besturn B30.
