i actually like interior, im usually mad about the massive wood trim and everything white leather seats in luxury cars, but hey this looks pretty good with a blackish dash and only slight wood trim

May I avert your attention to the badge on the steering wheel, it speaks for itself....

So what car is this interior really from?

it's for this car

so its a photochopped interior for a photochopped car? Ok...

So what car is this interior really from?
It's from the Acura TSX, which is the American version of the European Honda Accord. You can see that it still says 'Acura' underneath the navigation screen.

You have a good point there Hazik, Acura do have nice interiors with clean lines and good color coordination, that would cooridinate well with the Brilliance exterior. Your approach is also quite interesting, not only did you get more people to look at your post, but you also managed to get more people to take a deeper look into Brilliance Automotive, while never directly mentioning the quality of the Acura interior.

Interesting, here are some pictures of this Zhonghua's interior:

From these pictures, the Brilliance Zhonghua seems to have adopted features from the TSX interior. Oddly enough certain features like the shape of the air conditioning vents, the shape of the dash in front of the driver, the shape of the steering wheel, the shape of the shifter, the overall look of the gauge cluster, and even the shape of the fuse box remind me of the 1994 Maxima I am currently driving.

Let me guess: now that you know it's an Acura interior, you don't like it. ;)

hey i like the tsx too, it has nice and agressive front styling. didnt really notice the interior too much though.

hi guys:)

I am from Singapore. Would appreciate if any of you could email me brochures of Brilliant Zhonghua car models and their price list.

My email add is desmodeus9@hotmail.com

Thank you in advance.

In my opinion, this is by far the most beautiful chinese car!

i like the silver zhonghua, but its also nice to see in white..
i noticed many pics with zhonghua with bmw or mercedes

Here in Egypt it is assembled in the BMW factory.

This is one of the best Chinese made & designed cars and would not like out of place here in Australia

I do not like the Lancia grille.

y not? i think thats ones of the best parts of it :)

I was one of the people to see this car at 2005's Frankfurt auto-show.
As expected, the interior wasn't very impressive, but otherwise,
its a very attractive car, if they get their quality (of materials),
and any potential mechanical problems out of the way before
they test the waters in Europe, or even the US, I think we could have
the next Acura.

thxxxxxxxxxxxxx

the exterior is okay and acceptable, but the interior is very 1980's and out of date

whooot...at least u cudnt say they out right copied another car this time

First shipment of 3000 Brilliance BS 2.4 cars have arrived to Hamburg port. HSO, the importer, plans to sell 15 000 cars in the first year in Europe. Guarantee is 3 years or 100 000 kilometers. Price in Germany will be about 23 000 euros. Many magazines have tested this car already. Most of the reporters have been slightly disappointed. Here's what AutoBild says (free translation):

"Excellent car for little money? Yes and no. There is space and metal around passengers but the lack of safety equipment and fit and finish are clearly a problem. Stylistic simplicity of the BS6 is on a plus side. If you're looking for well equipped basic transport then Chinese option is not necessarily a bad one. Eventhough some elements of this car feel 20 years old, the price is also clearly cheaper than any of it's competitors"

Leaving ceremony in China.

the ridicule begins in the european press:D

Some new information:

- Brilliance M2 Junjie will be sold as BS4 starting in 2007

- There will be a coupe model of BS4, called BC5 in 2007/2008

- Brilliance/Zhonghua is soon going to announce a new SUV and compact car
models in China. These will later come to Europe aswell.

Since these cars can make it to Germany, why not US???

It's not a bad first try though, y'all have to admit.

I saw it at Frankfurt IAA show too. Exterior is okay, but yes, interior is not as good as expected. Still somemore hard working Brilliance has got to do.

I would say, interior design and the choices of material should be the 1st thing to work on.

I saw this brand in Costa Rica (Center of America) loks chik. Congratulations:thumb:

Below the main difference both models.
New BS6 on the top.

welcome to CCF bluffer:)

I love the new interior over the old - the fake wood was so ugly. Though I like the old fog light treatment vs the new, and the int door handle, from the pics the old looks better too.

Got pic of the 1.8T?

Like a number of Chinese cars it looks good on the outside. But the interior is very 1980's by European standards. At a lower price this may just find a few sales in the USA, but in Europe it will probably rate as one of the worst cars on the market.

That may sound harsh but let me put this in context. The worst cars on sale in the UK today have better interiors than that. The Dacia Logan and the entire Proton range looks better than that. The Logan is also incredibly cheap and probably has a higher saftey rating. It has no unique selling point and is from a completley unknown brand.

Why don't Brilliance do two things?

1 - Employ a European company like Ricardo to design the interior
2 - Buy an old brand name and re-invent it. There are plenty out there. How about Triumph, Riley, Alvis...anything has to sound better than 'Brilliance'..

Is this the 2007 BS6 that achieved 4 stars in the E-NCAP test? Big improvement, if that is so.

Since these cars can make it to Germany, why not US???

It's not a bad first try though, y'all have to admit.


We tell you from the car if you want :D


Greetings from Germany

Bebbi

It looks well. But I haven't seen it in UK, even never heard about it in UK.
But it might be not bad to the Chinese car industory. It still need more practice, more experience.

Thank you for this picture ......

But ... I think this car ... don't have any things for safe ...

is there a optimum safety upgrade package? because from what i see im not sure if its safe enough here in america, lots of bad drivers. i plan on doing some border runs

youtube.com/watch?v=LmpDM8wVrUQ

Hey welcome to the forum.

As we know the BS6 safety standards were already upgraded to achieve 3 stars at Euro-Ncap (the youtube video you post is 1 star). I don't think Brilliance is on sale in America. Have fun.

Btw your name is a bit disturbing, don't you think ? or maybe I am wrong. :)

Don't worry nothing will save you from a 2500KG SUV. The benefit of the BS6 is your death will be quick and painless. If you drive a 'safer' car you might first have to suffer 30 minutes but you still won't survive ;)

I decided to get a hummer instead. Thanks for your help, hopefully we can collide one day.

What about a Brilliance BS6 Wagon?

Also a good choice for hearses...

hummm...new facelift.....any of you guys agree....the facelift interior looks much uglier than the old version.....as for the exterior....it looks....more and more mobid....this car has a future brilliance...don't spoil it by making it look uglier and uglier with every facelift.

Yay! Is it "The Journey"...lolz.. Very nice interior! Lovely.

Brilliance to launch BS6 Hybrid at Guangzhou Auto Show.

Brilliance Auto are set to launch their BS6 hybrid auto at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month according to press reports.

The Briliance BS6 is a mixture of 1.8Turbo injection, and nickel hydrogen batteries, which combine together to cut fuel use by an impressive 35%. Fuel consumption on a standard Brilliance BS6 1.8T is said to between 6.2-7.6l per 100km (37 to 30mpg), so the hybrid version looks like it will save a lot of fuel! In 2009/10 Brilliance also plan to produce a plug-in hybrid for home charging.

Currently, the BS6 1.8T ‘Administration Specification’ is priced at a hefty 190,000rmb, so we doubt the hybrid version is going to be much cheaper, unless of course, its not as high as spec.

You gotta hand it to Brilliance, they can make pretty and original cars :) Even their logo is original and shows a pride in Chinese culture.
