The D80 is placed under Jumpal (Junpai in Chinese) sub-brand, which is aimed towards younger buyers in second and third tier Chinese cities. Jumpal-branded cars are manufactured by Tianjin-FAW, a FAW subsidiary based in the city of Tianjin. So far the Jumpal branded cars were rather low end, but FAW now wants to move upmarket with the introduction of all-new D80 SUV.
The D80 is visually a very impressive crossover SUV. It carries FAW’s signature front grille with a bold chrome strip reaching both the headlights and a big FAW winged logo up front. The rear-end of the vehicle is as impressive as the front. The backlights are connected to each other while the bumper has black cladding underneath giving it a more sportier look. The all-black interior looks impressive with silver embellishments.
