Songliao successor

Great photos Raul.
I believe this is the old Songliao Auto company of the PLA established back in 1947. I guess I missed the intro to Polarsun in this forum.
The MPV design looks unique. I wonder if it's Polarsun's own IPR. But the pickup appears to be a Fudi-sourced body with Polarsun-designed front end. Of course the Hiace is Toyota-based with the grille work also Polarsun-designed.

I see only 1 stolen piece of IPR, the headlights on the MPV belong to Chery Eastar/Oriental Son. I actually quite like the design of the SUV, thanks for the info and photos Raul. :nod: :thumb:

From insiders I understand the quality of the Polarsun models is quite good, and that they have thought well about their future plans. There seems to be also a saloon prototype, at least a prototype must exist. Anyone has a picture or drawing???
Present production is extremely low (2000 in 2005, not one produced in 2006) but there is a new factory under construction in the outskirts of Shenyang. This factory will have a production capacity of 150.000 units.

i think this is the only chinese car company with an identity. just like how bmw have the split nose grill, and jeep has the 7 horizontal grill set. No other chinese car company have an identity, finally one that could standup being special.

More pictures!

SUV

[ash]

im not a big fan of Polarsun models. Do they even export outside of china? because i don't they they really are doing that great in china itself.

also those rims are funky but still bling lol:lol:

MPV

CHERY EASTAR HEADLIGHT!!!

 

[AXLE]

OMG CONSPIRACY!!!!

Yeah Ash i dont know. Here is the website though...

In my opinion, the interiors look horrible. However I am oddly attracted to the SUVs exterior styling. Sorta funky lookin'.

 

[Raul]

Well spotted Axle :thumb:

It's very expensive to design a new headlight. Chery and Polarsun must have a same supplier (?)

 

[m14]

really i thought the cars headlights would be cheapest thing to design and manufacture

 

[Raul]

One would think so but I guess there are a lot of things which need to be considered. Small companies like British Noble use Ford Mondeo rear lights. Old Maserati Quattroporte had Volvo 340 rear lights (!). There are other examples too.

Are you sure? Despite having the same layout these looks sort of different in their shape...

Polarsun's future fate

There seems to be also a saloon prototype, at least a prototype must exist. Anyone has a picture or drawing???

Don't have a photo of the saloon prototype but here are photos of a concept MPV and an SUV.

I think Polarsun (Zhongshun) is well connected in China through a man name Zhou Tianbao and is affiliated with a (design house) in the US called Century Auto. But as Laofan points out the volume is low and that's the puzzling part.

Polarsun started advertising three models presented at 2007 Shanghai Auto Show on their Internet page. Does that mean they are going on sale? Well it was about time the company refreshed their offer.

Polarsun MPV-B:

MPV-C:

Streched limo:

Also there is another vehicle shown on their site called MPV-A:

The car resembles me very much to Dongfeng (Zhengzou) Yumsun:

According to my information, Yumsun is just rebadged previous generation of (Japanese) Nissan Serena. That would not be of much suprise considering Dongfeng and Nissan have joint venture in China. But I never heard of any cooperation between Nissan and Polarsun nor between two above mentioned Chinese companies.

So, does anybody know if this is indeed same vehicles with two different logos and names?

 

[daewoo-chevrolet]

A clone of the Mazda Premacy and Honda Jazz/Fit! Polarsun is definitely not my favourite Chinese car manufacturer.

 

[Raul]

Gotta love that limousine. It's so ugly that it looks cool

 

[hello]

WTF? what is polarsun trying to do?
