well this looks quite different and looks as if it could really be made, but i guess its another example of just a concept.

These companies cannot take such risks at the moment to product concepts like this, they need to stay mainstream at first , once them are into the mainstream auto industry , then they can take risks with thieir extra revenue and wide funding

The CS7 looks like the production version of the C1 concept shown previously by Chang Feng. Looks decent I might add.

i like it a lot...looks nice..and has some original traits...this will probably be there main car at the detroit Auto show

Not the best SUV concept but Americans will like the Lexus like rear end :D

I like Chang Feng's concepts, even if they're ugly, at least they put some effort into it.

that is good effort there, looks very italian. Such designers sould be allowed to design main stream cars and not only concepts:thumb:

Looks nice huh

new modification:

http://www.che168.com/article/html/200801/20080116/20080116_189123_1.html

With those changes CS7 is much more production ready.

Changfeng to make China's first hybrid SUV.

April 2, 2009 - As the earliest Chinese SUV maker, Changfeng Motor is set to launch China's first hybrid SUV model, which is codenamed Liebao (Leopard) CS7 Hybrid, reported West China City Daily.

Industry experts said that its successful development and manufacture of the hybrid SUV has made Changfeng Motor a leader in the Chinese SUV section, with its R&D capability and technology reaching the world's state-of-the-art SUV standards.

Currently, there are only a few manufacturers of hybrid SUVs in the world, and less than 10 hybrid SUV models are available in the global auto market. Most of them are high-end hybrid SUV models of luxury brands, such as BMW, GM, Mercedes-Benz, and Lexus.

The release of Changfeng Motor's Liebao CS7 Hybrid marks China's having its own hybrid SUV manufacturing technology. The Changsha, Hunan-based SUV-maker said this world-class hybrid power system will be first applied to the CS7 model, which can start volume production soon.

Changfeng Motor aims to sell 280,000 vehicles annually by 2010. The company will launch two new models in each year to reach that sales goal. Of the 280,000 sales target, there will be 100,000 sedans, 100,000 pickups, and 80,000 SUVs.

This is pretty confusing, so which one is the official CS7 ? or does it come in 2 variants ?

I definitely prefer the version with the normal grille. The car looks OK for a Chinese SUV, but the proportions of this shrunken Hyundai Santa Fe are a bit dubious.

Official presentation:
http://auto.sina.com.cn/z/cflbcs7ss/index.shtml

Prices start at 99.800 RMB

http://www.sinaimg.cn/qc/photo1/cs7pro0516/U1930P33T148D363439F5369DT20090516123223.JPG

So the CS7 is 54.000 RMB cheaper than the Nissan Qashqai, but 15.000 RMB more expensive than the Chery Tiggo3 and 10.000 RMB more expensive than the Great Wall Hover H3. So I think the Hover H3 is a better buy than the CS7: it's larger and also better looking in my opinion.

I definitely prefer the version with the normal grille. The car looks OK for a Chinese SUV, but the proportions of this shrunken Hyundai Santa Fe are a bit dubious.

I think the weird grille version is the concept car from three years or so ago. The normal grille version is probably the production version.

Both are taken into production. The weird grille is called Sports.

Looks nice, but the question is, how soft are these right angles when impacted by one's cranium?

Someone please tell me what this whole "cheetah" thing is about. I was on auto.sohu.com on a translated page and it kept coming up with cheetah this and cheetah that whenever I clicked on pictures of the CS7. Is it really something or is is just badly translated English?

Oh yeah, and some pics of CS7 with odd front.
Got these at auto.sohu.

Hi KiwiGuy:
Cheetah is the translation of the Chinese name for the Changfeng SUV model called Liebao 猎豹.
