PRESENTADO ROEWE 550!! PRIMERAS FOTOS OFICIALES ROEWE 550 __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ SU SEGUIMIENTO Although development is still ongoing, the 450 is likely to eventually be offered with a 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol engine as well as a 2.0-litre diesel motor Rover's return is gaining pace! We have already seen how Chinese firm SAIC has recreated the 75 and 25 with its new badge Roewe - now Auto Express can exclusively reveal the company's first Ford Focus rival. Hidden away among a convoy of Roewe's disguised 750 saloons, this prototype of the family hatchback-sized 450 was spotted in Sweden completing its first twilight test. But while its siblings are remakes of familiar ex-Longbridge models, it's obvious this car will break fresh ground for the ambitious firm, which has privately admitted it is committed to making waves in Europe from 2009. A spiritual successor to the Rover 45, this new machine is expected to follow on from design work begun by MG Rover before the firm folded. Under the skin, the car is based on a shortened 75 platform, and it has appeared so quickly because it's taken advantage of development which MG Rover had already carried out on a replacement model for the original 45. But SAIC hasn't done this alone. British engineering experts have also had a hand in the car's evolution, specifically through spin-off firm Ricardo 2010 Consultants Ltd, created to work with the Chinese on developing new models. Made up of hand-picked experts, many of whom were employed by MG Rover, the 2010 consultancy will soon be taken over entirely by SAIC. However, it's the link with Ricardo that gives us a further clue to this prototype's identity. While the vis-ually distorting lines and chequer effect are intended to distract the eye, the distinctive pattern is a regular Ricardo disguise. This - coupled with the fact that the vehicle is rolling on Rover 75 wheels - is further evidence that it is a Roewe. Several other revealing details are also clear to see. The four-door body has a high waistline similar to the Honda Civic's, and while the rear is heavily cloaked, you can still see a distinctive split exhaust pipe. Expected to be offered only as a saloon, the fresh model's interior is set to break new ground for China's car industry. Quality is anticipated to rival that of European competitors, with an emphasis on the traditional Rover strengths of luxury and comfort. Thanks to the extensive input from British engineers and with many miles of European development driving still to be completed, the 450's dynamics should also be up to the job of matching many rivals on the UK market. A Euro IV emissions-compatible 2.0-litre diesel unit is being worked on, and it's thought that a turbo-charged 1.8-litre petrol unit based on Rover's K Series will be offered as well. Producing around 150bhp, it's hoped that the motor will boast a competitive blend of performance, fuel economy and refinement. It's not yet known exactly when the compact family saloon will go on sale, but it is tipped to make an appearance at one of next year's top international motor shows. Roewe is expected to launch in the UK at around the same time. vamos con las espias... mas fotos... interior __________________ Chops...

Muy bonito. Como siga la estela de sus hermanitos, tendremos suerte si llegan a una estrella o que en caso de choque no ampute piernas y brazos a conductor y pasajero. |

Ese coche debería haber sido el sustituo del Rover 45. No es un coche chino, es un Rover que deberían haberlo sacado si no hubiese sido por la quiebra. Los espavilaos de los chinos se quedarón con la propiedad intelectual y ahora lo han sacado ellos. Y ya pueden sacarle provecho porque si fuese por ellos aún están a 10 años de construir un coche como ese. |

Con mis respetos a los chinos que lo compraron y a los ingleses que lo crearon, me parece horrible. En fin, pa gustos los colores, pero eso me parece que ya no tiene la esencia británica que le pides a un rover... |

Entonces decís que estos coches ya los tenia ROVER proyectado antes de cerrar sus puertas?? Me da muchísima pena cuando veo esto, y pienso en Rover...la mala suerte que corrió y los pésimos administradores que tuvo... que preciosidades de coches,sobre todo uno que veo ahi arriba en fotos que parece un 75 nuevo no? tenian pensadas sacar..en fin, ahora los chinos han sabido aprovecharse de lo que habia dejado hecho Rover...aunque al menos podemos pensar que no es un coche chino como los que estamos acostumbrados a ver.

| la verdad es que está bastante bien, unas lineas muy cuidadas aunque la trasera no la trago por los pilotos traseros que no me gustan, y el interior, muy futurista, con tanta pantallita digital. |
