The Chinese new compact crossover Huansu C5, most likely, will not be sold in the current market, but, despite this fact, it causes genuine interest in a person for his extraordinary appearance. Rack for news from China was awarded the designers of the X-shaped filter grille in the style of the models of the Japanese company Lexus, as well as other original design elements that attract the attention of motorists to the body of a budget crossover.
