Southeast Motor to launch V3 Lingyue in September.

June 21, 2008 - Fujian-based car manufacturer Southeast Motor is to launch its first proprietary sedan called V3 Lingyue in September 2008, according to the company with investment from Mitsubishi Motors.

The sedan will be priced at 60,000 yuan to 80,000 yuan, compared to 94,800 yuan ($13,680) to 122,800 yuan of Lancer, a sedan developed by the two companies, on grounds that the added-value of Chinese proprietary brands is low. And the general of the company believed that the price would keep the new car at an advantage in competition with other cars.

The V3 Lingyue would adopt the one of the 4G15 engines produced by the Harbin Dongan Mitsubishi, with high security as well as low energy consumption and gas emission.

Besides, the company plans to launch one A-class or B-class proprietary car per year in the future, as an effort to increase its share market in China in a short period. And with experience from its cooperation with Mitsubishi Motors, it is confident about its prospect.

Fujian-based Chinese carmaker Southeast Motor had its first self-developed compact sedan, called V3 Lingyue, rolling off line yesterday, and will put the car on sale by October to boost the company's market growth, said sina.com.cn today.

As a strategic own-brand model of the automaker, the new V3 Lingyue model is equipped with the all-new 1.5L MIVEC engine based on the cutting-edge engine technology of Mitsubishi Motors, a Japanese investor and partner of Southeast Motor. The new engine, made by Harbin Dongan Mitsubishi, delivers powerful performance, rapid reaction, high security and low fuel consumption.

The compact sedan is expected to go on the market in late September or early October, priced at 60,000 yuan ($8,780) to 80,000 yuan, about 40,00 yuan lower than Lancer, a sedan jointly developed by Southeast and Mitsubishi. The Chinese carmaker believes that the price, plus excellent features sharing with Mitsubishi, Chrysler and Dodge cars, would make the V3 Lingyue more competitive than other cars of its kind in the market.

Southeast Motor plans to launch one A-class or B-class proprietary car in each of the coming few years to boost its market growth. The company is confident about its target of selling 80,500 vehicles in 2008, a rise of 34% over last year. And the roll-out of its new V3 Lingyue model is seen as a key step to this goal.
