Changan Auto to launch Cross model B301 in H2

Shanghai, May 7 (Gasgoo.com) In the wake of Zhi Xiang hatchback CX30, Changan Auto is about to officially launch its another model B301 in the second half of this year.

Yesterday, reporters got the news that the new B301 car, positioned as a crossover small MPV model, is expected to make its debut at the Chongqing International Auto Show to be held at the twelfth Chongqing International Convention & Exhibition Centre on June 10th-14th.


Outside, the B301car appears to be an MPV model, but more pure movement, and is a classical Crossover model. Similar to the Ben Ben in appearance, the car, however, has a larger size and longer wheelbase, and ground clearance is higher as well.

In addition, the car has increased the body largely surrounded by a roof luggage rack, rear spoiler, and other kits, based on the Crossover model.

Inside, the car keeps the sporty design style, with a black interior matching silver trim and dark-colored fabric seats, using the console silver panel and central-positioned trip computer screen on the roof. Moreover, multi-functional buttons, such as volume control, mute, song switching, audio mode adjustment and so on, have been integrated into the steering wheel. 

The Changan B301 car reportedly features the 4- speed automatic transmission and 5- speed manual transmission, and will be powered by the same1.3L engine as the Ben Ben in its early launching.

Later, Changan will launch a model, equipped with the 1.5L engine. The B301 car will go on sale, with a price range between the Ben Ben Series and Yuexiang car, at 50,000-70,000 yuan ($39,000-$55,000).
