GUANGZHOU, China — Geely Automobile aims to bolster the low end of its product range with the new Gleagle GX2, a crossover version of its tiny Panda hatchback, priced in China from $7,800.
Gleagle is one of Geely's sub-brands, used mainly on affordable mainstream vehicles.
The GX2 has SUV-like styling cues and is a bit longer and taller than the Panda. Engine choices include 1.3- and 1.5-liter four-cylinder engines. A five-speed manual gearbox is standard. Average fuel economy is 33 mpg.
The top version costs $9,900, delivers 101 horsepower and features GPS navigation, a DVD player and a rearview camera.
Inside Line says: Cute as a button and surprisingly affordable. — Paul Lienert, Correspondent

I can't tell if this is a cheap chinese sub-compact or the new Toyota Sienna. The interior materials look so familiar.
