Roewe's Sharp Looking N1 Compact Sedan Debuts in Shanghai

Now here's a proposal from China that could very well be accepted in terms of styling from Western car buyers. SAIC's renamed Rover division, Roewe, that owns the tooling rights to the Rover 75 and 25, unveiled the N1 Concept car at the Shanghai Auto Show. The N1 is in essence a thinly disguised version of the planned production model that is set to go on sale in China next year. The compact-sized sedan that will sit below the 550 in Roewe's vehicle line-up will be offered with various four-cylinder gasoline engines.

Roewe N1 Concept Sketches Surface on the Net

SAIC's renamed Rover division, Roewe, plans to unveil a new near-to-production concept car codenamed N1 at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show that runs from April 20 to 28. While Roewe is being quite secretive about its new concept study, two official renderings of the subcompact sedan found their way into the net outlining the vehicle's sleek exterior styling. Speculation has it that the N1 is based on the underpinnings of the Chinese firm's 550 compact sedan which you can check out here.

Roewe N1: Rover's Chinese Heir to Present new Concept Study at Shanghai Show

Chinese state-owned SAIC Motors that bought the rights to the Rover 25 and 75 models in late 2004, will introduce a new concept study under the Roewe brand called N1 at this month's 2009 Shanghai Auto Show. Aside from a teaser sketch that was published on its official website, the Chinese automaker has not released any details on the N1 Concept. Currently, Roewe's portfolio consists of the Rover 75 based 750 and the designed and engineered in Britain 550 compact sedan that made its premiere at last year's Beijing Auto Show.
