Overview
The Landwind CV7 originally debuted in October 2007. The design was conducted by Changan Automobile's European design studio,[2] while technical suppliers include EDAG and Forschungsgesellschaft für Energietechnik und Verbrennungsmotoren.[3] The vehicle was criticized for resembling the fourth generation Ford Fiesta sedan as Changan Automobile took advantage of the joint venture with Ford while developing the model.[4]
The Landwind CV7 is powered by a 1.3 liter inline-4 JL474Q8 engine or a 1.5 liter inline-4 SOHC JL475Q8 engine producing 95 PS (70 kW; 94 hp) and 137 N⋅m (101 lb⋅ft) of torque, with a 5-speed manual transmission as the only gearbox option.[1]
Landwind CV7 Sport
