In 2002, China FAW Group took over the latter company and made it Tianjin FAW Xiali Automobile . Their automobiles were then sold as FAW with the addition Tianjin , while Xiali became the model name.

vehicles

From 1986 onwards, only a few vehicles were built under a license from the second generation Daihatsu Charade .

In 1987 the TJ 730 appeared as a replica of the third generation of the Charade. A three-cylinder engine with a displacement of 993 cm³ propelled the vehicles.

The TJ 7100 followed in 1990 . In 1991 the TJ 7100 U notchback added to the range. In 1997, the facelift led to the TJ 7100 A and TJ 7100 UA , which were redesigned at the front and rear.

There have been tests with a Daihatsu engine with a capacity of 1300 cc. However, an engine of the same size from Toyota with 16 valves in the TJ 7131 AU was then used . A source cites the year 1996.

At the end of the 1990s, over 100,000 vehicles were built annually.
