The FAW Oley (一汽欧朗) is a subcompact car available as sedan and hatchback bodystyles produced by the FAW Group under the Oley brand.
Overview
The Oley sedan was originally codenamed the A130 during development phase, and was originally developed as a subcompact named the B30 for the Bestune (Besturn at the time) brand. The Oley was built on the PQ32+ platform developed from the Mark 2 Volkswagen Jetta platform built by FAW Volkswagen.[1] The platform was criticized for being cheap and the design was criticized for being too radical for the Bestune brand, which led to FAW launching the Oley brand as a brand for younger generations.[2]
The Oley brand was revealed in November 2011. In March 2012, and the first product, the Oley sedan was launched in the Chinese market. The production Oley sedan was previewed by the GO Concept during the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show.[3]
