The BYD G3R hatchback will be listed in mid-April, around the same time as the Shanghai Auto Show starts. The G3R debuted at the Guangzhou Auto Show in December 2010, by that time the price was expected to start around 70.000 yuan. BYD however is busy lowering prices of all its cars to push up sales, the G3R will now be offered from 60.000 yuan. Not much money for a 4.3 meter long car with a 1.5 litre engine. 1.8 will also be available. Some more pics below:
