2020 Senia R7.jpg

FAW Xenia (一汽 森雅) R7/Senia R7. 2015 to date (prod. n/a). 5-door SUV. F/F, 1498, 1598 cm³ (I4 DOHC). FAW Jilin reuses the Xenia name, though later Anglicized as Senia, on an SUV rivalling the Haval H2, Changan CS35 and JAC Ruifeng S3 instead of a small van. Decent value for money, 17-inch wheels standard across range, along with stop–start. Prominent nine-inch screen in interior, with good connectivity as well as reversing camera display. Launched with five-speed manual only. Good torque at lower end of the range from engine shared with Besturn B30, adaptive steering. MacPherson struts at front, torsion beam suspension at rear. More powerful turbo 1·5 available from 2017 models onward. Some quality issues and poor refinement, which did not help FAW’s total sales. Facelift in 2020, when the FAW logo gave way to Senia’s own script on the grille. Twinned with Besturn X40 and, later, the Bestune T33.
