Car And Driver have published a review of the Chinese 2008 Shuanghuan CEO SUV. 'Step inside, and the CEO proves to have plenty of space for five lofty seating positions. The CEO comes with a decent amount of standard equipment and costs less than a base RAV4 in Germany. Options include leather seats, parking sensors, power seats, and a power sunroof. Just don’t have lofty expectations for the CEO’s fit and finish. Most modern SUVs use better materials and feel more uniformly screwed together than the CEO. Our test vehicle was prototype-like in some spots. The leather and faux aluminum touches make a favorable first impression and appear rich in photos, but a closer inspection proves less gratifying.
When behind the wheel of the CEO, it’s probably not a good idea to wave your pink slip challengingly at the guy beside you. The 123-hp Chinese 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, basically an old Mitsubishi design, provides leisurely performance. The second-rate engine works well enough around town, provided you work the smooth-shifting, long-throw shifter enough to keep the CEO moving. But on highways or on the autobahn, the engine’s lack of power is glaring and immediately apparent. A 2.5-liter version of the engine with 165 horsepower is in the works, and a 195-horsepower turbo-diesel engine is also reportedly on the way.'
