The name Jing literally translates to whale, the newest car from Roewe.
These days, design trends in the automotive world are certainly abstracted as the example of Chinese manufacturer SAIC. And other other companies offer us, for example, this special concept known in the automotive world as “Crossover”, which deals with car news that it will appear strongly at the 2021 Shanghai International Motor Show , which will be held in the last third of April.
The crossover features narrow LED headlights with chunky angular lenses at the front, which is what we’ve seen before. Its all-around design conforms to popular criss-cross trends. This network, however, is…something.
Say hello to Jing, which Google tells us is the Chinese translation for whale. It is a product of SAIC Motors , which is set to join the Chinese automaker’s “Roewe” brand. This is actually a concept close to the production that the Chinese manufacturer will produce, and it shows what will happen in the production processes,
From the looks of the SAIC concept, it seems that the choice of the name Whale is certainly not a coincidence. The vertical bars of the grille resemble the underside of a whale, and in case you were wondering about the traditional Chinese characters on the license plate, it’s a simplified version of the word “Jing.” And at least the automaker has quite the whale connection, and as such, we suspect the choice of white for this concept KM Psyche wasn’t a coincidence either.
And aside from the design, what’s the Jing story? According to Leblog Auto, production versions that look very similar to this concept will bring the whale to market later this year. After SAIC teased it at the Shanghai International Auto Show, aside from the design, no details about the powertrain are known, although reports say it won’t be a purely electric show.
Hybrid and standard internal combustion versions will be available, although information on output has not been announced yet. A related model with an all-electric powertrain will also enter the market, although it probably won’t share the same eye-catching look as models. But in addition to that, we have to take the leading position in the Roewe lineup, the Jing.
Since this is a semi-production version, don’t expect the whale’s nose to change much when it goes on sale. On the other hand, we don’t have information on pricing or potential features that the whale will have, but as we are standing in front of a SAIC product, it is almost certain that it will remain a product for the Chinese market.
