So just a different face?

Also perhaps a better-appointed interior and/or a higher level of equipment/features.

Senia R8 launched:

FAW Jilin (with China First Auto retaining 29.5% stake after all necessary transactions are completed) will continue to make Senia and Jiabao vehicles, even as it turns towards developing more new-energy vehicles, fuel cells, and driverless cars under Baoya stewardship:

So it seems the Yabei, Lingchang, Kuanyabei and Yazhi (aka Yaqi?) minicar and minivan models of Jinan, Shandong, may now be produced alongside these mainstay FAW models...all while Baoya has plans of turning out bigger NEV, ICV models, etc..

Wouldn't like to speculate now, but I feel it is unlikely that LSEVs will be made at FAW Jilin. Baoya's LSEVs would probably continue to be made at their current locations (Yazhi's new Xiangyang factory opened around two and a half years ago). I am assuming FAW Jilin might get new products and Baoya might even use FAW Jilin's license to upgrade any LSEV model to NEV, somewhat like Levdeo, although it is true that Levdeo was already on a stronger footing (technologically speaking) than Baoya is, when Levdeo took over Yema.

Yazhi (aka Yaqi?)

Yazhi is not Yaqi. Yazhi is a new (2017) brand with at least two models, EQ1 and EQ3.

Kuanyabei

Kuan (款) here refers to 2017 model year, so 2017款雅贝 (2017 kuan Yabei) means 2017 year/model/edition Yabei.
