Except, what matters in an automation “sporty” car is the total demographic score.
The S-V Sport Pckg only differences is it has a much more aggressive kit, bigger wheels and dual exhaust
Ah.

The Auxuras ETL is a mid-size luxury sedan bulit by Saminda and sold under the Auxuras brand, the ETL is designed in North America and is based on the New Structural (nS) platform
Despite the growing popularity of SUVs and crossovers, the ETL has been the best-selling sedan for Auxuras sedan line-up.
No longer is it just another luxurious car with a touch of Japanese sake. Instead, the Auxuras ETL has undergone a change to become a smooth Japanese Rolls-Royce.
Exterior
With its gaping spider grille, striking headlamps and wide stance, it bears a close resemblance to the up-coming Auxuras STL flagship. As such, you could say that the 2020 ETL beckons a clear intention of broadening the car’s appeal to buyers of younger age, a praise-worthy feat for a brand that’s commonly associated with the older generation.
Engine
2 engine option is available for the ETL (not the ETL-L) a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that produces 248BHP or a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 300BHP, AWD is standard across all trim.
ETL-L for Chinese market
As one would expect from it name, it gets just about the same styling tweaks as its North American counterpart, with a longer wheelbase, Saminda says the long wheelbase is 5.3inches more than the regular version.
For some reason, the ETL-L has different engine option than it regular version, either a 180BHP 2.4-liter naturally aspirated or 265BHP 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.

The revamped ITL SPEC-V, Fearless, that’s what you get.
Auxuras ITL SPEC-V (Facelift)
Engine : CER Series , CER420FK
The 2018 ITL Spec-V has been heavily criticized for its poor performance and handling after it had just launch for just a month. Saminda has admit that they get their first Spec-V ‘‘wrong’’ and promise to have an emergency facelift with suspension and engine upgrades.
Now called the ITL SPEC-V (Sport Pckg), Saminda says it will be 20% faster and much more responsive to drive.

Saminda admit that they get their first Spec-V “wrong”, to have emergency improvement
The ITL Spec-V, enthusiast had such high hopes for it as it’s suppose to return the sporty image of Auxuras of the past. Saminda has admit they get their first Spec-V model “wrong”
Power to weight issue
Criticism of the car from various of magazine mainly is it power to weight ratio with 375hp and nearly 2ton, the car just doesn’t “deliver”.Motortrend said “The ITL S-V is a disgrace to the CZ6 which it had the same CER series 3.5-liter twin turbo engine, the CZ6 makes 550bhp while the R version makes an impressive 600bhp, almost double of it figure”
Autoguide criticise the car is too heavy for this segment, “The ITL S-V weighs at 1.9ton, with just 375bhp and cost nearly 60grand, a Sachuiri sL200 Sports which is faster and 20grand cheaper would be much better off”
Redline reviews wrote that “We have to admit Auxuras make one of the best AWD system in the market to date, but the ITL S-V just doesn’t corner as fast as you would expect due to it weigh and the body roll is too much consider the fact this is a sports car” they also added that this car doesn’t have the “Saminda Spirit” on it.
Saminda admits the problem
American Saminda Motor Co. have admitted the ITL Spec-V was not a product they should have launched so early, “We have released the ITL Spec-V in a rush and we shouldn’t have done that” said Matthew Roy the managing directorBut Saminda denies the engine of being weak like most car journalist said “The power is alright, what we are looking at would be the weigh and suspension tuning issue, the ITL Spec-V should be a balance car instead of a power hungry car” said Matthew
ITL Spec-V Sports Pckg on the works
The bad criticism lead Saminda to have a “emergency improvement” by introducing the “Sport Pckg”, it will have dramatic improvements then the current ITL Spec-V and will be release on 2019 as a 2020 model

2020 BTL will come to the US with new face
It will be the cheapest Auxuras offered in US, starting at $25,000
BTL S trim shown
It’s a long time since Auxuras expand it lineup in the US, but now we finally see a new entry level Auxuras coming to the States which called the BTL.
However, it also comes with a history. Designed and built for the Chinese market, it debuted in 2018 and has been a runaway success. Industry watchers have long speculated about whether it would come to the United States, and how it would fare here if it did.
And we finally get it now which Auxuras has confirmed about it. "We want our lineup to go global instead of differentiate it on certain market” said Eric Ballman, VP of Auxuras Motor Co.
The BTL will come with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine or a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, producing 155bhp and 200bhp respectively.
It will go on sales early Q1 of 2020.

The 2020 ETL Spec-V, Prepare yourself.
Auxuras ETL Spec-V
Engine : CER Series , CER500CS
The 2020 ETL is the second model by Auxuras to offer it Spec-V marque and is a combination of incredible performance and surprising efficiency.
The most powerful Auxuras sedan, yet
The ETL Spec-V twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 is basically a de-tuned CZ6 engine, it produces 525bhp and 450lb-ft of torque and all that monstrous engine routes power to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic transmission. Auxuras says the transmission shift as fast as 0.1s
Still Practical
The ETL Spec-V continues to offer decent seating for five adults, and a large 540-liter boot that’ll manage family holidays and beyond with a 40/20/40 split fold. For those needing to tow things real fast, it’s rated to pull an impressive 1900kg.
The new ETL Spec-V is another masterpiece from the brilliant minds of Auxuras.

The BTL was introduced in China on 2018, however, the 2020 facelifted BTL is designed in North America so the China market has not yet recieve the facelifted BTL.
Cheapest Auxuras
The BTL holds the value of owning a luxury sedan and yet without burning your pocket, but if you go up to the S trim with the 1.5t engine, it goes to just over $30,000.
Engine choice
Either a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated or a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine will be powering the BTL, with 152bhp and 200bhp perspectively, the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is newly developed by Saminda engineers which codenamed RJ series, it’s a replacement of the problematic RE series (turbocharged only).

Auxuras ND350 concept car teased, hints possible new halo car or CZ6 return
DETRIOT, US - Auxuras have teased it ND350 concept car and since confirmed that it will be going into production, however, the nameplate ‘‘ND350’’ could be possible that it might be electricfy making 350bhp or a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 engine or even a 4 cylinder engine making 350 horsepower. But all of this was just rumours going on since at this early stage of development, it’s not clear what kind of specs Auxuras are working on.
Auxuras say it will debut the ND350 online at the end of april amid the on-going coronavirus outbreak.

I remember the CZ6 from the Kee era - it served as the company’s halo car for over two decades until declining sales forced them to kill it off for good, and it was also at odds with their focus on hybrid and electric powertrains for their future models. Resurrecting the CZ6, or at least developing a spiritual successor to it, would restore some of the sparkle that their current lineup seems to lack.

Auxuras want to return to it roots with the ND350, Saminda will finally be offering new chassis and engines exclusively for Auxuras
The ND350 is not a ressurection of the CZ6, said Auxuras.
The Auxuras ND350 is ripe for a renewal, and this time Saminda’s luxury division is finally putting a halo car on it brand. After decades of utilising off-the-shelf Saminda chassis, Auxuras has finally treated itself with a all new chassis and new engines which will only be offered in it Auxuras brand (we might see more of this new engines on it upcoming models).
Saminda said there will be 2 new engines that will exclusively offered in Auxuras lineup, a 2.5-liter inline-4 and 3.3-liter V6 turbocharged engine, however, Saminda have not release it numbers yet but we probably would see around 280-320bhp on the inline-4 and around 350-400bhp on the V6
As expected, both of it new engines will first be offered in the ND350
Spec V ND350 confirmed
Auxuras confirmed a Spec-V version will be coming too but did not reveal the powertrain but we can expect it will be using the same 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 engine on all it Spec-V models but hopefully it produces over 550bhp.
The ND350 is the car concept name, the production version of ND350 is not known yet, we can expect to see the production version by end of this year.

for an ultra lux car that price seems oddly low
Because it isn’t one, that’s just marketing 
It’s a premium midsize/executive/E-segment car AFAIK. Sth like Lexus ES/GS (I’m not sure which one fits more) or Acura RLX.

ah, makes sense, guess i fell for marketing lingo.
The standard ETL price ranging from 40-50k, and this is the special edition so it cost around 14k more.
The ETL completes with something like 5 series , E-Class and Lexus ES so 65k is quite a hefty pricetag but it’s limited edition
