Is Southeast Motors a Domestic Car Brand?
1 Answers
Southeast Motors is a joint venture brand and also falls under the category of domestic cars. Here are the relevant details: Development History of Southeast Motors: Southeast Motors was established in 1995 through a joint investment by Fujian Automobile Industry Group Co., Ltd. and Taiwan China Motor Corporation. Subsequently, in 2006, Southeast Motors partnered with Japan's Mitsubishi Motors. As a result, the current equity of Southeast Motors is held by Fujian Automobile Group, Taiwan China Motor Corporation, and Mitsubishi Motors Group. Since Mitsubishi did not participate in the initial establishment of Southeast Motors, the brand is considered a domestic brand. Models of Southeast Motors: In its early stages, Southeast Motors was heavily influenced by the Taiwanese market, primarily producing vans and station wagons. The most famous model from this period was the Freeca, a recreational vehicle (RV) that combined the advantages of SUVs, MPVs, and station wagons. Starting in 2003, Southeast Motors began manufacturing sedans. The first sedan model introduced was the Lioncel, which was essentially the overseas version of the Mitsubishi Lancer.
