The Change Q25 will get the same four-cylinder petrol engines as the Senova X25/D20: a 99hp 1.3 and a 113hp 1.5, mated to a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic.

The Q25 will be positioned slightly below the X25, so buyers can choose between a car of a almost-completely unknown brand for cheap, or a car of a relatively unknown brand for a bit more. Changhe is almost as unknown in China as abroad, but the Beijing Auto Senova line is slowly starting to become a bit of a household name, although they are still a zillion miles off the brand recognition of foreign car makers.
