The Shuanghuan Noble (also sold as the Shuanghuan Bubble, the Martin Motors Noble and the Martin Motors Bubble) is a 4-seater hatchback that was produced by Chinese carmaker Shuanghuan Auto. It is based on the Smart Fortwo, a 2-seater.[2] It was sold in various European and Asian countries and has generated large controversies due to its similar styling to that of the Smart Fortwo.
Body
The Noble uses a unibody frame based on a shortened Suzuki Alto platform. It carries the same MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a dead axle rear suspension with a Panhard stabilizing rod. The body is constructed using high tensile and ultra high tensile steel, a choice that makes the car somewhat heavy for its size at 875 kg.
Seating
The Noble has a seating capacity of four passengers. The rear seats provide enough room for two adults with plenty of space for their knees, although the low roof-line restricts headroom significantly.
