roewe 550/mg6 IS NOT based on r75 platform

payner75t · 10th June 2009, 20:26

in an article in this months mg enthusiast the saic team at longbridge have confirmed that the roewe550/mg 6 is not on a shortened r75 platform but is a new platform.
it shares only ONE componant and that is the front subframe.
also the digital dash will not come to europe and a different seat design will be used.

I thought it was loosely based on the RDX60?

OOh

Forgot to tell everyone that I saw a Reowe 550 on the road outside our estate the other week. Coming towards me I must admit it looked far better than in the pics.

Modern yet familiar........

Quite surprisingly I was impressed

I hope they completely ditch that tacky Chinese interior... it needs to be quality like the Rover 75/MG ZT. A copy of the Jaguar XF would be nice - are you listening MG Motors??

from what i have read .the mg 6 is getting different seats and an analogue dial dashboard for europe.
not sure about the 550 though.

Didn't get any different seats.

The wheelbase, track and width is identical to the Rover 75. I'll bet its based on it
