On the face of it, the Brilliance BS6 seems like a lot of car for your yuan, but fleet managers might ask whether it really offers value for money and where it fits into the market. Size wise, the car is up against the BMW 5 Series, the third generation Ford Mondeo and the eighth-generation Honda Accord. But it’s offered at a price that pitches it against cars in the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Sagitar class.
The BS6 has been around since 2003, and it’s a fitting introduction to mainland cars. The saloon has been smartened up in a recent facelift, but it would seem unremarkable in a Hong Kong car park. Unmistakably Asian-looking, it could pass for a number of manufacturers’ efforts. A raked bonnet and chrome outlined grille try to convey an aggressive stance, but it’s hopelessly outclassed by even the new Mondeo. And from the side the car displays all the hallmarks of conservative design that so appeals to mainland buyers.
