Taking the Senova X35 as an example, here is a detailed introduction to the Senova X35: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Senova X35 is a compact family SUV launched by the Senova brand under Beijing Automotive. Its body dimensions are 4300*1815*1640mm, with a wheelbase of 2570mm. 2. Powertrain: The Senova X35 is equipped with only one engine model, the A151 1.5L engine, delivering a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a peak torque of 148 N·m. In addition to the 5-speed manual transmission, it also offers an Aisin 4AT transmission.
I've been driving the BAIC Senova D50 model for over three years now, and overall, the quality feels just average. I bought it because it was cheap—a budget sedan priced at around 100,000 yuan, with spacious interiors and rich configurations. The turbocharged engine provides decent power, which is sufficient for city driving. However, there are indeed many minor issues, such as the infotainment screen occasionally going black and requiring a restart, noticeable door rattles on rough roads, difficulty starting in cold winters, and loud fuel pump noise. The 4S shop mechanic said these are common problems due to average parts assembly precision. Fuel consumption is economical, around 7 liters per 100 km, making it cost-effective. Comfort on long trips is acceptable, and I don’t worry about major breakdowns. In summary, its high cost-performance ratio is an advantage, suitable for those on a tight budget, but don’t expect it to be as refined and durable as joint-venture cars—it often needs repairs.
