In 2006, China presented the Roewe 750, which is a direct descendant of the Rover 75. Meanwhile, a new middle class under the name 550 and produced the following addition to the program, this SUV. He will be based on the technique of the SsangYong Kyron. That's no coincidence, as well as Roewe SsangYong fall under the flag of the huge Chinese SAIC group.
The front of the Roewe SUV is completely redesigned, at the rear is to see that in each case and the rear lights are different from those of the SsangYong.
