We reported on Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp’s Roewe brand yesterday, and wake up today to find new spy shots of this car in testing. SAIC has big plans for the brand, including possible export to the US. Apparently, this model is much larger than the outgoing Rover 75 upon which it’s based and will come with two engines of 1.8L and 2.5L capacity, both from the original Rover, with the 1.8L model being turbocharged.

The Roewe 750E models are expected to be quite highly equipped. It's expected the high-spec version of the 1.8L model will come with electric sun roof, 8-ways electric driver seats, and electric rear mirrors as standard. The 2.5L model goes even further with DVD, Xenon lamps, Bluetooth phone system, and reverse parking sensors. Not bad at all.

Roewe will also adopt a new logo to signify the change in brand. You can look at a comparison between the Rover and Roewe logos after the jump, as well as many more photos of this car.

One of our readers has dug up another photo, this time showing the rear of the car. Clearly visible is a badge with 2.5L V8. Check the comments for details.
