In the bustling city of Beijing, the year 2010 marked a significant event in the automotive world, with the Beijing Auto Show welcoming a new contender - the Shuanghuan Noble-Tiger. This special edition vehicle, developed and produced by the Chinese automaker Shuanghuan Auto, has created a stir in the market.

The Noble-Tiger, named after the Year of the Tiger in China, shares some resemblance with the Mercedes-Benz Smart in terms of size and design. However, Shuanghuan insists that the Noble is not a copy of another vehicle, due to its front-engine placement.

Priced at 50,700 rmb, the Noble-Tiger is equipped with roofracks, making it an attractive option for those seeking practicality along with style. Under the hood, the Noble-Tiger is powered by a 1.1 liter four-cylinder engine, producing 33.5kw of power and 72nm of torque.

While the Noble-Tiger has gained attention for its automotive features, a seemingly unrelated comment was made about a "skinny girl from Russia" in the same breath. It is unclear how this reference is connected to the vehicle, but it adds an intriguing element to the launch.

As for the future, spy shots of a facelift for the Shuanghuan Noble have been released in China, hinting at potential updates and improvements to come. For now, the Noble-Tiger is available for purchase by customers, offering a unique and affordable option in the Chinese market.
