The Beijing Auto Weiwang M20 debuted during the 2013 Guangzhou Auto Show with the first examples of the mini-MPV available with a pre-sale price of 62,800 yuan.[2] The production model was officially available to the market in October 2013 with prices starting from 46,800 yuan to 63,800 yuan.[3] Weiwang is a brand under the Beiqi Yinxiang Automobile, a joint venture between Beijing Auto (Beiqi) and the Yinxiang Motorcycle Group from Chongqing. This joint venture also sells the Huansu brand and the Weiwang M20 is based on the same platform as the Huansu H2.[4]
