Inside Autocade
Changhe Suzuki Beidouxing X5/Changhe Beidouxing X5. 2012 to date (prod. n/a). 5-door wagon. F/F, 1372 cm³ (I4 DOHC), 15·96, 22, 32 kWh electric. Long-wheelbase version of the Suzuki Wagon R Wide, which had been produced in China by Changhe in the 2000s. X5 saw the basic car lengthened, for more space. Well equipped, with dual front airbags among the safety features, and plenty of storage spaces. Warranty of three years or 80,000 km, considered good for this segment in China. X5E electric models from 2017. Continued under Changhe marque after Suzuki exited China in 2018.

Marque: Suzuki | Model: Suzuki Beidouxing | Predecessor: Suzuki Wagon R Wide | Successor: Changhe Beidouxing (2017–)
Chevrolet Chevelle. 1968–72 (prod. n/a). 2- and 4-door sedan, 2-door hardtop coupé, 2-door coupé, 2-door convertible, 4-door hardtop sedan, 5-door wagon.

Middle-of-the-road intermediate range, with average ride and accommodation, and an unremarkable reliability record—not as well made as Buick Skylark (1968–72) and Oldsmobile Cutlass (1968–72). Not particularly roomy down the back for two-doors, on a shorter wheelbase (112 in versus 116 in). Malibu an upscale trim level, and SS muscle car the one to have for many collectors. Sheetmetal changes for 1970. With the broad range, the Chevelle was the US’s second best seller in 1972.
