Debuting on the 2015 Chengdu Auto Show in China,[2] the pricing of the X25 starts at 55,800 yuan and ends at 75,800 yuan, positioning the crossover under the larger subcompact Senova X35 CUV.[3] There is only one engine offered for the Senova X25, which is a Mitsubishi-sourced 1.5 liter inline-four engine producing 116 hp and 148 nm, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox powering the front wheels. A 1.5 liter turbo engine mated to a four-speed automatic gearbox was added to the line-up in 2016.[4]
