Overview
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]
