History

The Xinglang made its debut on the Chinese market on August 20, 2013 with a ceremony attended by Gonow personnel, the press and other VIPs.[1] Its MSRP is about 52,800 yuan for all models except for the 1.5L Premium, which is sold for 79,800 yuan.[6]

Design

Engines available includes a 1.3L producing 99 hp and a 1.5L producing 113 hp, both mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

The Gonow Xinglang is controversial in terms of styling because it heavily resembles the Nissan NV200 despite minor changes.
