Overview

[edit]

The final production version of the Senova D60 debuted in August 2014 on the 2014 Chengdu Auto Show. The Senova D60 is based on the same platform as the second-generation Saab 9-3. Beijing Auto bought the license to the Saab 9-3 models and Saab 9-5 models from GM in 2009. The deal included the Saab-developed 2.0 liter turbo four-cylinder petrol engine and the 2.3 liter turbo four-cylinder petrol engine. At launch, the Senova D60 is only offered with the inline-four 1.8 liter turbocharged petrol engine producing 177hp and 240nm mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed automatic gearbox, with the Saab-based 2.0 liter turbo engine reserved only for the CC models.[1] With a planned annual production of 300,000 units, the production of the new model began in September 2014.[2]

Senova CC

[edit]

A sportier variant of the D60 called the Senova CC was also available.[3] The Beijing Auto Senova CC sedan debuted during the 2014 Guangzhou Auto Show in China,[4] and was launched in China in April 2015. The Senova CC is powered by the inline-four 1.8 liter turbocharged petrol engine producing 177hp and 240nm also offered on the D60 and the Saab-based 2.0 liter turbo engine producing 204hp and 270nm mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed automatic gearbox.[5] Production for the CC started in 2015 and ended in 2017.[citation needed]
