Although originally the R9 is placed under the ‘Senia’ sub-brand, according to a recent decision taken by FAW’s Besturn Business Unit in December, ‘Senia’ will be brought into Besturn’s fold for marketing purposes. This also applies to the R7, a derivative of which, interestingly, already exists in the Besturn range- the X40 SUV.

Measuring 4,505×1,835×1,695mm, with a wheelbase of 2,700mm, the R9 will be powered by a 1.2 liter turbocharged engine with 150 hp and 215 Nm, mated to a 5-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT gearbox, sending power to the front wheels. The flagship SUV will be slotted above the R7 SUV, and will reportedly go on sale in China in May 2018.
