The original Brilliance V5 appeared on the domestic market in 2014. The car did not sell well. For all the time it was possible to sell only about 2500 copies. Despite this result, the manufacturer did not abandon this idea and decided to import an updated version. By the way, in her homeland, in the Middle Kingdom, she made her debut in the same year in which sales of the pre-reform version began in Russia. The novelty is the first, but rather large-scale restyling. The car received a fundamentally new power unit, only one transmission option, and only two fixed configurations. The basic version is called Sport. Such a car is equipped with two front airbags, ABS and stabilization system, heated front seats, a multimedia system with a color screen and Bluetooth connection, rear parking sensors, air conditioning and an engine start button. For an additional fee, you can order a Deluxe package with six airbags, sunroof and cruise control. As for the interior itself, it has retained its distinctive driver-centered dashboard. You can visually distinguish the restyled version from the pre-reform one by the front. A slightly truncated grille is striking, as well as a modified central air intake on the front bumper. Brilliant B5 is a compact urban five-seat crossover. The car measures 4405 mm in length, 1800 mm in width, 1615 mm in height and 2630 mm between wheelsets. Despite all the entourage and crossover body kit in a circle, the off-road car is poorly adapted. In running order, about 175 millimeters remain between the bottom point of the bottom and the roadbed. As for the platform, it has an exclusively lightweight architecture. The engine is located transversely on a subframe, to which rigid levers are attached, and to them are independent McPherson struts with an anti-roll bar. Behind - a simple torsional semi-dependent elastic beam. The trunk is average. Under normal conditions, with the back of the second row raised and loaded under the top shelf, it can take up to 430 liters of cargo. If you donate the back sofa, you can get up to 1254 liters. After restyling, the Brilliance V5 will be equipped with just one, but more powerful, BM15T power unit. On the hood of the car - a 1.5-liter inline petrol four. It has two camshafts, a turbocharging system and direct fuel delivery. The engine develops 143 horsepower in a small range of 5500-6000 rpm and 210 Nm of torque from 2000 to 4500 rpm. A classic hydromechanical automatic with five operating ranges is offered as a transmission. The drive is exclusively front. As a result, the car is maximally capable of gaining up to 175 kilometers per hour. Acceleration from zero to first hundred will take 13.9 seconds. Fuel consumption, on average, will be 6.8 liters of gasoline for every hundred kilometers in the combined cycle of movement with a calm manner of working with the accelerator.
