[- !el Catire *O*]

 

Just a year ago we brought you the driving test of the BAIC D20 but now, with a view to the year 2018, the firm of Chinese origin updated its entry car providing aesthetic and mechanical improvements, in addition to expanding the list of versions with a further version accessible.

The main element that changes with this facelift is the grill, which now is in tune with the language used in the latest releases of the company, such as the BAIC X65. By the way, the Black tone Bremem headquarters its place in favor of a new tonality of the body called Arena Dubai. Inside there is a slight improvement in materials and finishes.

In the mechanical section, the greatest novelty lies in the fact that the brand leaves behind the Mitsubishi four-cylinder engine in favor of adopting its own 1.5-liter production capable of producing 113 Hp and 105 lb-ft of torque, which Coupling to a five-speed manual gearbox. It should be noted that, apparently, the four-link automatic box will no longer be present in the catalog.

Certainly the configuration of the new propeller looks almost identical to the engine it replaces, but the Chinese firm insists that the technology is its own, so much so that its internal code is "A151 - New Generation BAIC".

It can be highlighted that the BAIC D20 has frontal airbags, brakes with ABS, ISOFIX child seat anchor, 6.5 "touch screen, digital air conditioning, automatic headlight ignition, sunroof, 14-inch aluminum wheels, among others elements.

In terms of equipment levels, a rearrangement is suffered where the once more luxurious Top variant is discontinued, but at the same time, a Comfort access version is released that lowers the access price in relation to the 201 models.
