On the 2014 Guangzhou Auto Show in China, the facelifted Beijing Auto E-Series was introduced as the Senova D20 and has been moved under the later-established Senova sub-brand. The original Beijing Auto E-Series has a price range of 58,800 yuan to 74,800 yuan. Engines: 99 hp 1.3 and a 113 hp 1.5, mated to a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic. The E-Series is based on the same platform as the 2004 Smart Forfour/Mitsubishi Colt and styling-wise heavily inspired by the first generation Mercedes-Benz B-Class.[5][6]
