In January 2008, in the 158th issue of "Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" announcement, SGM7168 and SGM7183, two brands of Shanghai General Motors, were the new Excelle that attracted much attention. Recently, spy photos and parameters confirmed this news, and it was further learned that the product models of the new Excelle include SGM7168MTA, SGM7183MTA, SGM7168ATA and SGM7183ATA, which are manual and automatic transmission models of 1.6L and 1.8L models respectively. The emissions of the four models of the new Excelle all meet the national IV emission standard.
The release of the customized photos of the new Excelle finally allows us to see the true content of the replacement model of Shanghai GM’s best-selling compact car Excelle. From the appearance, the new Excelle middle net adopts a similar straight waterfall design, indicating that the family style of Shanghai GM’s new generation models is gradually taking shape. The new Excelle headlights adopt a diamond shape, which is more sharp than the old models. The headlight lines extend to the bumper, forming a popular U-shaped shape.

On the whole, the front face of the new Excelle has a significant change compared with the current Excelle, which is a brand-new feeling. Looking at the tail shape of the "New Excelle", the change of taillights is very significant. The taillight design of the new Excelle’s horizontal layout is completely different from that of the current vertical layout. Undoubtedly, the taillights of the new Excelle are more graded. But on the whole, the tail design lines of the new Excelle are more complicated. Viewed from the side, there is little difference between the lines of the new Excelle and the current Excelle, which indicates that the relevant parameters of the new Excelle will not change much.
