1st gen (X3; CN-market), 2002–2005

Xi’an, Shaanxi Province
It is actually a rebadged 1st gen. Hyundai Accent (facelift) by Dongfeng Yueda Kia. “Qianlima” means swift horse in Chinese, so there is a horse emblem on the rear.
The original Accent had a certain number in China but completely disappeared now. My family once owned a purple AT one (pre-facelift). It was one of the goods that Korea provided to the Xianyang Caihong Picture Tube Factory to repay debts.
