The Linxys Gold Card car, which is being built by the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture, went on sale in China, after which the real prices and available versions became known.

The basic version received LED headlights, power windows, air conditioning, a Bluetooth-enabled multimedia system, USB ports, central locking, ABS, EBD, electric power steering, a dynamic stabilization system, an uphill assistant.
