BAIC C71EV – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nIt didn’t take long for Beijing Automotive Industries Company (BAIC<\/a>) to start making use of the old 9-3 and 9-5 tooling it bought from Saab last fall. After grafting on a new nose and taillights, both have been reborn as the C60 and C71. <\/p>\n

It’s not clear what’s propelling the regular versions of these two reworked Saabs, however, there was a second ex-9-5 on display dubbed the C71EV. That version had a battery pack inserted into the floor and featured what BAIC was labeling as a fast battery switch system (ala Better Place). <\/p>\n

The sign next to car claims a 90-mile range, but we think that’s highly optimistic given the size of the sedan and the comparatively small battery pack. Of course, that’s assuming this is actually a functional car. <\/p>\n
