Brilliance BC3
China Brilliance is importing a three-model range to Europe with the help of importers HSO Motors, the line-up consisting of a coupe and two saloons.
The BC3 is a 1.8-litre, 170bhp small coupe - in a similar vein to the Hyundai Coupe - first seen as the M3 concept last year at the Bejing Motor Show. The saloons are the midsize BS6, already on sale in China under the name Zhonghua Zunchi M1 with Mitsubishi-sourced 2.0 and 2.4 engines and Pininfarina-tweaked styling; and the smaller BS4 (Junjie M2).
There's no word yet on right-hand drive availability, but as Brilliance is planning to export SUVs and hatchbacks to Europe as well, it clearly has ambitions for extensive sales in the West.
