Speaking of the Chinese cars of the Great Wall company, SUVs and pickups immediately come to mind. The first models did not get the best reputation due to the rough body shape and artisanal assembly, but still there are sedans in production. One such example is the Great Wall C30, introduced back in 2014-2016, the car is also known as the Voleex C30.

In its shape, the Voleex C30 sedan, like many Chinese cars of this class, leaves one to expect the best, bulky body and small wheels. Great Wall recently unveiled a modified version of this sedan called the C30 FL. Unlike the first-born, the new sedan has become more modern, moreover, it has received European features. The combination of stylish looks and modern technology has been beneficial in terms of sales statistics. Inside the new Great Wall C30 FL, it also turned out well. Let's take a closer look at the new product.

Exterior of the sedan Great Wall C30 FL 2016-2018

As already mentioned, the appearance of the Chinese sedan has become European, hiding its origin as much as possible. I want to say right away that the Great Wall C30 FL 2016-2018 is a Chinese car, you should not expect special functions or rich equipment, since the calculations were carried out for a budget buyer. the front of updated for the better, optics based on halogen lamps turned out to be open in shape with high beam lenses, decorated with chrome "eyelashes" on top.

The grille of the Great Wall C30 FL sedan also turned out to be wide and open. As inserts, only horizontal chrome stripes paired with chrome edging, and the very center of the grille is reserved for the company emblem. Since the Chinese are lovers of chrome parts and everything that glitters, the black grille of the Great Wall C30 FL is simply not provided. The front bumper of the sedan will surprise in its own way, unlike the usual model, the modernized FL received a wide insert in the center, with an additional grille, LED running lights on the sides and the same LED fog lights.

New hood sedan Great Wall C30 FL does not stand out in special features, two lines stretch from the edge of the radiator grille to the front pillars, thereby raising the central part of the hood. At first glance, it seems that the radiator grill is at the same time with the hood, but in fact they are separated from each other, and the hood lies on top of the grill. As for the Great Wall C30 FL windshield, it is simple, unheated. The wipers are frameless, which allows you to install non-branded ones. If you look closely, the front of the new Great Wall C30 FL is somewhat reminiscent of the Opel Astra G, but with more open optics.

Side designers well calculated the ratio of the body of the Great Wall C30 FL sedan to the size of the wheels. At the base, 15 ″ alloy wheels are installed, with 185/65 tires, although the dimensions of the front and rear arches can easily accommodate larger diameter discs. From the front arch to the rear feet, the designers of the Great Wall C30 FL extended a curved line, on which door handles and a gas hatch were located.

The lower part of the doors of the Great Wall C30 FL is now decorated with a curved line instead of plastic moldings. A more massive line on the tailgate and almost disappeared on the front door. Otherwise, special lines from the side are no longer observed. The side mirrors of the Great Wall C30 FL are not the richest in terms of configuration, but the required minimum is installed: LED repeaters of turns and an electric drive for adjusting the mirrors. The top configuration of the sedan received automatic folding mirrors.

Well, from the side, the new sedan turned out to be an order of magnitude more attractive than the usual version, the correct ratio of the sizes of wheels and body is enough.

Rear end Great Wall C30 FL 2016-2018 feet resembles the Audi A8, this impression is formed due to the shape and location of the feet. Halogen lamps served as the basis for the rear stops, LED ones are not provided. The boot lid is quite narrow, and the step from the rear bumper gets in the way when loading. The rear bumper of the Great Wall C30 FL 2016-2018 itself is quite large, with a curved horizontal line, the lower part of the bumper was decorated with two small foglights and a chrome line.

At the rear, the sedan still betrays a Chinese origin, the feet are large in the ratio of the body, and the trunk is not the most convenient for loading oversized cargo. Finally, the roof of the Great Wall C30 FL 2016-2018 sedan remained. As befits a Chinese car, the roof is solid in the basic configuration, but in the more expensive versions, an electric sunroof is installed as an option.

If you do not pay attention to the rear of the sedan Great Wall C30 FL 2016-2018, then you cannot immediately tell about the Chinese origin. Designers have refined the style and body shape for European variants of cars, and the front optics with lenses played a positive role in the design.
