The production model was officially available to the market in October 2013 with prices starting from 46,800 yuan to 63,800 yuan. The engine of the Weiwang M20 is a 1.5 liter four-cylinder engine producing 106hp and 145nm, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.[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]
