What brand is the Junpai car?

Junpai is a model series under Tianjin FAW, serving as the successor after the disappearance of Xiali. Below is an introduction to Tianjin FAW: 1. Currently available models include: Junpai D80, with an official guide price of 79,900-125,900 yuan, positioned as a compact SUV. Junpai A50, with an official guide price of 55,900-72,900 yuan, positioned as a compact car (A-segment). 2. Introduction to Tianjin FAW: The company's predecessor was Tianjin Automotive Xiali Co., Ltd., established on August 28, 1997. On June 14, 2002, China FAW Group Corporation and Tianjin Automotive Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. signed a joint reorganization agreement at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. FAW Group holds 50.98% of the company's shares, giving it controlling ownership, and the company was officially integrated into the FAW system, hence the name Tianjin FAW Xiali Automobile Co., Ltd. 3. The FAW logo takes "FAW" from "First Automobile Works" as the core element, combining and evolving to form a "soaring eagle" visual image. It symbolizes FAW striving to soar high and spread its wings in the sky.
As a car enthusiast, I often research various brands. Speaking of Junpai cars, they are actually a sub-brand of Tianjin FAW, focusing on economical and practical models like the Junpai A50 or D60, which are affordable and suitable for family use. I once drove my friend's Junpai D60, and it was very fuel-efficient, making it quite cost-effective for city commuting. The Junpai brand doesn't have a long history—it was launched around 2014, mainly to cover the mid-to-low-end market. As a local Chinese brand, it's quite popular in rural areas and third- or fourth-tier cities. However, due to fierce market competition in recent years, Tianjin FAW has consolidated its production lines, so you might see fewer on the road now. I also noticed that its maintenance costs are low, and spare parts are easy to find, making it a great choice for young professionals or small families looking for a daily driver. The downside is that the design isn't particularly trendy, but it's functional enough—even long-distance drives aren't a problem. Overall, it's a reliable and down-to-earth brand.
Having dealt with many auto repair shops, I can say the Junpai brand is a product of Tianjin FAW. Most people who drive it prioritize affordability. I've seen quite a few Junpai models like the Junpai CX65—the engines are simple and durable, with low maintenance costs. Oil and parts are easy to find, unlike imported cars that can be finicky. It's positioned as an economy car, so its resale value isn't high, but it's worth considering for first-time buyers on a tight budget. Some owners I've worked with have mentioned its fuel efficiency, especially models like the D60 SUV, which consumes less than 7L per 100km in urban and rural driving. However, the brand's recognition has declined recently, as Tianjin FAW has shifted its focus, and the Junpai series updates have slowed, possibly due to market competition. Overall, it offers good value for money but has low resale value, making it suitable for practical buyers who aren't chasing trends.
