FAW gives SUV an American make over!

From the grainy pictures below, you may be able to make out a new front end on the FAW CA6480P6E SUV. We’re not sure why FAW likes to use a serial number instead of a name, after all, who can remember CA6480P6E?

The new SUV is surely inspired by the Chevrolet Colorado front end style of recent years, which Dandong ShuGuang have also borrowed for their most excellent looking pick up truck.

The two SUV’s are available in long wheel base, and short wheel base form with both diesel and gasoline engines available. The gasoline engine is a Euro 2/3 spec 2.0l engine (73.5kw/5000rpm) from Xinhua, and the diesel engine is 2.7l model (68kw at an unknown RPM)

From China car Times

FAW was (is still?) offering two SUV's produced at China FAW Group Harbin Light-Duty Truck Factory, a pick-up codenamed CA1021P6LU2E and CA6480P6E SUV. Factory was also producing small trucks.

CA1021P6LU2E:

I believe the long wheelbase SUV model has a square rear door window as seen in that Harbin-made double cab pickup. If I'm not mistaken both of these are short wheelbase vehicles.

This model already this in test-drive in the Uruguay. Soon it will be able to arrive in Brazil…

Thank you Eric. I see there that the long wheelbase is available, but just not with that brawny Chevy Colorado nose.

It's really interesting to see how widespread is FAW's presence, with production bases that build these pickups and SUV's way down in Taizhou, Zhejiang, in the Zhongneng/Bengnung motorcycle company.
