Greatwall Motors are prepping the Hover M3 for production according to recently leaked reports which include spy shots of the car. At the Beijing Auto Show in 2010 we saw a similar model although it was likely to be at the pre-production model whilst the below model is certain to be the production model.
The Hover M3 will come with a 1.5L engine paired to both automatic and manual gearboxes. The manual gearbox will be the most thrifty with it using just 6.5L of gas per 100km and 6.8L of gas for the automatic version.

GWM are planning to launch 10 new models in 2011, including the Hover H6, the above Hover M3 and also the TengYi C50 sedan. In 2010 GWM hit sales of 550,000 vehicles but they are going for 600,000 sales in 2011.

The Hover M3 is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2011 and will be eligible for a 3000rmb energy saving subsidy that is being offered to ‘green cars’ in the Chinese market. Pricing is expected to be from 60,000rmb to 90,000rmb.
