From China Car Times
Greatwall have jumped into the hatchback game feet first once they realized that SUV and Truck sales were about to fall through the floor. Their first model was the Great Wall Peri, which they followed up with the Greatwall Florid, the Coolbear and the soon to be unknown hatch.

Their first concept sedan was shown at the Shanghai Auto Show earlier this year where it surprised crowds with its funky looks, which appeared to be a mixture of sporty and formal, an unusual mix that worked just right for the usually bland designing automaker.

A leaked early version of a forthcoming Greatwall mini sedan has been leaked to the internet and early opinions are not good. The mini sedan seems to resemble the unknown hatchback mentioned earlier, with a notchback trunk attached to the rear. The sedan seems to have E-Class like folds in the door (although, every car has them now) and a Lifan 520 front end. It’s not clear where Great Wall are going with this one, perhaps its just best to bring out the sports concept sedan instead?

WOW............71,900 for the elite model? :eek: :thumb: I assume the elite comes with AT and the GPS/DVD screen? If so, then the C30 has just become one of the BEST BARGAINS in China - hands down. If you want a AT version of the FSV...........10,000rmb more, and the FSV has NO DVD option. The YingLang? Not even close in price, and the BASE model of the Elantra is still at least 10,000rmb more than the elite version of the C30! The C30 is actually in a position to take sales away from the F3 - which is one of the top selling cars in China right now. If the C30 can hold up when is comes to durability and dependability, watch out - Great Wall won't be able to keep up with demand. GREAT JOB Great Wall..............I am truly impressed!!!

I am particularly excited because this sedan will be Great Wall's first car in Australia and New Zealand. They were originally going to bring the Peri before they changed it to the Florid and now they will bring the C30 down here. It'll probably come under competition from either the Geely MK sedan which is already selling in New Zealand officially and the EC718 which will come later on.

Interesting times are ahead.

Great Wall Motor releases 2013 C30 sedan in October 10th, which has the same lineup as the 2012 model. Prices for the seven 1.5L models, with a MT or CVT, remain unchanged, ranging between 64,500-83,500 Yuan.

Upgrades are limited and largely non-consequential (except perhaps the addition of daytime running lights). On the outside, one will notice that the front grille now comprises two chrome bars instead of three, wheels are changed to a five-spoke design, and the front lighting system now features daytime running lights to improve safety.

Interior modifications are more noticeable, as the instrument panel and dashboard underwent a few major cosmetic alterations to increase aesthetic appeal. One functional improvement comes to the ignition keyhole, which now gets illuminated.

Optimization is reported done regarding the model’s NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) to make the drive quieter and smoother.

The C30 (formerly Voleex C30–GWM has recently dropped the Voleex marque) is one of the most popular sedans from China’s native automakers. 85,553 units of it were sold in the first eight months of this year.
