Review
Showroom at Toa Payoh area, thus the testdrive was around the area as well. The cars were registered units. The dealer also imports in Isuzu trucks. I was expecting lose door trims, irregular panel gaps, and a chemical smell of plastics (experienced in Geely, and even thai-made Nissans). However, I was treated to a pleasantly well built interior that can match the Toyota Previa's, and the interior is easily as huge as the Alphard. The engine is an aged Mitsubishi 2.4L 130bhp engine, and while the car weighs in at 1980kg kerbweight, you don't feel the need to rev the engine as it's torquey enough to get it up to speed! Of course, don't expect it to go above the speed limits with ease, but it'll seriously do the job of ferrying 7 people around VERY COMFORTABLY!

It's selling for S$115k at current $60k+ COE levels, or available for rent at $90/weekday or $100/weekend/day or $120/day on PH or $1800/month.

I will be renting one soon!

What I like
- Spacious Interior that is also well built
- Automatic (Not many Chinese MPVs have automatic transmission)
- Looks (Mix of Hyundai Starex and Mercedes Vito)
- Price

What I do not like
- Size and parking
- Lack of marketing for this vehicle
