Models:

LUNGE SUV

This SUV is clearly a copy of SsangYong Musso SUT with a slightly new front-end. Interestingly a V8 engine is offered.

"Under the hood, Chelfing provide a pair of powerful engines, from the European sourced 2.9 litre diesel engine, producing 115 horses power to the mighty USA made V8 5.7 liter gasoline engine with 180 horses power. A robust 5 speed or slick 4 speed Automatic gearbox help you get the best from the power under the hood."

RAZZLE SPORT

This model is a copy of Daewoo Racer/Le Mans, previously sold as Opel Kadett E in Europe (1984-1991).

"Sporting heritage –Head of Chelfings autosport division, David Trimble, gives you the benefit of his racing experience in the form of a sprightly 1.3 litre fuel injected 16 valve engine coupled with a nimble chassis. Disc brakes, independent suspension, pollen filter - these features spell out the Razzle’s superior driving ability. A wide range of colors and extensive interior options mean you can add your own twist of style to the cabin."

It's nice to see a new player in Chinese market. Although their models are a little bit out-of-date I still think they can succeed. If they can price Razzle right, let's say below 60 000 yuan, they could find buyers.
