Wuling Cortez[]

In Indonesia, the second-generation 730 is marketed under Wuling marque with the name Cortez. The name "Cortez" is taken from Spanish word "cortés", which means "courteous" in English.[8] The car was launched on 8 February 2018. Initially, there is only one engine option, a 1.8-litre (1,798 cc) engine producing 96 kW (129 hp; 131 PS) and 174 N⋅m (128 lbf⋅ft) of torque mated to a 6-speed manual transmission or a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT) developed by Aisin. The 1.5-litre engine option was added later with a sole 6-speed manual transmission.

The turbocharged 1.5-litre engine option, named Cortez CT was made available since April 2019. It is mated to a continuously variable transmission sourced from Bosch.[9][10] Later in mid-2019, both the 1.5-litre and 1.8-litre naturally aspirated engine options were discontinued and leaving the turbocharged 1.5-litre engine as the sole engine option.
