Shanghai. March 14 (Gasgoo.com) – Shanghai General Motors sold over 20,000 vehicles last year in markets outside China, according to Shanghai Securities News today.
Shanghai GM exported a sedan model Chevrolet Lova and engines to Ukraine and a MPV model GL8 to the Philippines.
Last November, Cadillac announced that Shanghai GM will export Cadillac SLS to Middle East markets. Shanghai GM said it is possible that the Cadillac SLS will also be exported to other markets besides Middle East.
Based on the STS luxury sedan, the SLS is stretched 100 mm. The additional length results in a luxurious and spacious interior with rear legroom of 1060 mm. The design of the SLS is unmistakably Cadillac. Diamond-faceted contours echo the geometry of other Cadillac vehicles. Subtle V-shapes, inspired by Cadillac's shield badge, are a recurring motif in both the exterior and interior design.
Under the hood, the Northstar 4.6 liter V-8 engine produces 320 horsepower, giving the SLS outstanding performance. The 6-speed automatic transmission is electronically controlled. Magnetic Ride Control and StabilTrak, along with a sport suspension, deliver both a refined ride and responsive handling.
Cadillac vehicles are now assembled on three continents - North America, Europe, and Asia - all to the same exacting standards.
In 2007, Shanghai GM sold a total of 4,380 Cadillac SLS vehicles in China’s domestic market.
