Soueast (東南/东南) V5 Lingzhi (菱致). 2013 to date (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, 1499 cm³ (I4 DOHC). V5 was a moniker Soueast showed in 2008, but a production model did not emerge till 2013. Essentially a sedan based on the Mitsubishi Lancer (1995–2016), which Soueast had been building under licence for years, but with its wheelbase stretched to 2,610 mm. Both 88 kW and 110 kW models, with V5 Plus added to range in 2014 (marginally longer, spoiler at rear). Two grilles, depending on spec. Good rear legroom and economy. Independent suspension at front and multi-link at rear, giving sporty handling, but at the expense of ride comfort.

Manufacturing location: Fuzhou, Fujian, China

Marque: Soueast
