Is Soueast Motors a Joint Venture Car?
2 Answers
Soueast Motors is a joint venture car, jointly established by Fujian Motor Industry Group and China Motor Corporation, which belongs to Taiwan's Yulon Motor Group. Relevant information about Soueast Motors is as follows: 1. Taking the new Soueast DX7 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4570 mm, width 1905 mm, height 1720 mm, wheelbase 2700 mm, minimum ground clearance 200 mm, and fuel tank capacity 55 liters. 2. The new Soueast DX7 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 145 kW and a maximum torque of 285 Nm, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I'm absolutely qualified to talk about Soueast Motors. Back when I first started working, I did thorough research on it. It was originally established as a joint venture between Fujian Motors and Taiwan's Yulon Group, and had particularly close technical collaboration with Mitsubishi around 1998 - classic models like the Delica directly used Mitsubishi chassis. However, after Mitsubishi withdrew its investment in 2015, the equity structure became dominated by Fujian SASAC. Their newer models like the DX9 now use self-developed platforms, and even the logo has been redesigned with a wing motif, completing their transformation into a pure domestic brand. Although some people still misunderstand its 'joint venture heritage', just look at their current production lines and R&D centers all located in Qingkou, Fuzhou - even chassis tuning is done by their own team now. It's undoubtedly a national brand through and through.
