Hello from Eastern Europe!!! As I got some informations, the sales of SMA should start soon in some balkan countries such as Bosnia and Bulgaria. Since I live in this area I'm very interested in any information about those models.I've seen pics, but does anyone has any real informations about reliability of SMA vehicles, engines, are there any troubles with engines, how is with the safety of these vehicles??? A lot of questions, I hope you can give me some answers. Thank you in advance!!!!

display model quality

How can put so large picture in the web?......

Mr. Zhang, I like the new beige colored GX-6 instrument panel seen here but below it the shift quadrant is missing. It's not so good for first impressions of this otherwise good looking new model.

Thanks, Admin. Anyway, I've seen pics, but does anyone has any real informations about reliability of SMA vehicles, engines, are there any troubles with engines, how is with the safety of these vehicles??? Are the engines the same as in Geely?

 

[ash]

yes the SMA and geely engines are the same
and the SMA brand is supposed to be a little better quality than the geely cars, like more standard features

 

[balcan]

how about design? It's hard to tell from the pics... Are there any similarity between sma and geely? which one looks better? And how is with the quality of the engines?

 

[Lisora]

To early.

 

[balcan]

What do you mean with to early?

why you ask so much about quality??? it's toyota engines,you know about toyota,all vehicles have abs,ebd,dual airbags,geely is start to sell in serbia soon,also i know for the plans in the countires of former yugoslavia
i drive all models from gelly,merie models are so good (they are selling in china only i think) but the city crusier,and beauty leopard are good cars

Shanghai Maple 506

I think this is a Shanghai Maple but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway it looks relatively modern.

 

[erik (laofan) cmvdc]

Marindo 506

It is correct, Raul, it is the Marindo 506. The wheelbase is 10 cm longer than the original Maple platform (ZX-copied platform, yes, Hater, Citroën infringed Maple), it is now 2640 mm. The car is also named Maple MB.

WOW a Citroen Cadillac made by the Chinese

I actually don't mind this its quite modern looking.

 

[AXLE]

Yeah I really like its Caddy-like styling, overhangs are a tad too big but its still the best looking vehicle from Maple/Geely imo.

 

[balcan]

I think it is really nice car. Any technical informations about engines(1.5, 1.8)? Is it also 4.40 m long, same as C51/303 and C81/305?

I'm very interested in these cars, that's why I ask so much about quality... Are there many warranty claims during warranty period, how is the general quality compared with the european cars?

 

[micodelija]

you have warranty of 2 years or 60000 miles,model CK is ok,other models i think that will not be in europe yet,maybe new lg or fc..i don't know now the name

 

[balcan]

Thanks. This is for the Geely, how about SMA? And how is about engines (EURO3, EURO4)?
