N3's overseas

This summer 775 Xiali N3's were exported to Algeria.

A look at the engine room photo shows that each front suspension strut is secured at the top with only 2 bolts instead of the usual 3. How will the N3 stand up to the rough roads outside China?

Is this the Xiali model that ranked the highest among "compacts" in the Initial Quality Survey (IQS) of J.D.Power this year?
They never seem to say which Xiali they are referring to.

And is this the Xiali model that FAW plans to export to Mexico next month as a CBU, and later as a CKD for assembly at a new plant there?

N3 - National, new and nice.

Interesting that no one has yet answered the question, asked above, about crash test results for this model. Of course the Mexicans will be interested to learn of such safety-related facts since reports say this model will be FAW's first in North America.

Mexicans will also be happy to know that the 1.0L, 3 cylinder engine seen above is just one of the engine offerings.
