GAC X-Power crossover rendering leaks ahead of Shanghai debut


China's Guaungzhou Auto Corp may have not approved it, but the first look at the company's new X-Power crossover has trickled out onto the internet. According to ChinaCarTimes, the automaker just recently purchased the Alfa Romeo 166 platform from the Italian manufacturer, and the X-Power is the second model that we've seen arise from those bones. Judging from the photos, the production take on the CUV wears much of the same styling as the concept version, though it would seem that the taillight design has received some tweaks.

ChinaCarTimes reports that the X-Power will hit the streets with an Alfa-sourced 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with around 163 horsepower when it debuts. GAC has also used the 166 platform for its Trumpchi sedan, which is powered by the same 2.0-liter engine.

Chinese car buyers can look forward to seeing the X-Power in showrooms soon. No launch date has been released, but the vehicle is slated for an unveil at next month's Shanghai Motor Show.

i think it looks GREAT! and a very smart packaging choice for a big splash - i believe cuvs will eclipse sedans in sales in a few years.

Looks pretty good, IMO certainly better looking than any vehicle mentioned above.
