BC3: The trendy city coupe
Brilliance JinBei is adding a sporty coupe to its model line-up with the BC3 show car. The 4.48 meter long, 1.81 meter wide, and 1.39 meter high powerhouse stands low and wide on its 18-inch alloy wheels. A 125 kW (170 HP), 1.8 litre turbo gasoline engine propels it from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds; the top speed is 210 km/h. This engine, which was entirely developed in-house, is also used in the BS4 compact sedan. The BC3 comes with a choice of a five-speed manual or automatic transmission. The precisely-tuned chassis of the two-door coupe meets the needs of sporty drivers.
Metallic paint, power steering, and alloy wheels are standard equipment in the BC3, along with automatic climate control, leather interior, parking assist, backup radar, power sunroof, power windows, and a CD sound station with high-quality speakers. The driver's seat provides good sideways support and is adjustable six ways. In the cockpit, chromed instruments provide the driver with essential information.
The coupe is equipped with numerous safety systems. It comes with front and side airbags, three-point seatbelts with pretensioners, ABS, electronic brake boosters, an electronic differential lock, and disc brakes.
The powerful, dynamic design of the BC3 was independently developed by Brilliance: The front view is defined by the extended hood and the clear glass headlights which extend far to the sides. The vehicle appears even wider and lower due to its deep front spoiler. The side view is also typical for a coupe. It underscores the distinctive character and is dominated by a long wheelbase, the passenger compartment which is set far to the rear with strongly angled A-columns, low windows, and the roof line which gently slopes to the rear. The design of the two-door coupe is rounded out by taillights that wrap far around the corners and give it a dynamic-sporty appearance from the rear.
BMW's Chinese partner Brilliance took the wraps off the BS4 Station Wagon model at the Beijing Show this weekend. The BS4 borrows quite a few styling cues from the BMW 3-Series and the previous generation Audi A4, but the end-result is an elegant looking SW. And despite what you may think, like its sedan counterpart, the BS4 SW has actually been designed and engineered by the famous Italian house, Pininfarina!
The BS4 Sation Wagon comes equipped with the same 1.8 and 2.0-liter gasoline engines as the sedan version which was introduced in the Chinese market last year. Both variants of the BS4 are expected to go on sale in
