: from SUVs to passenger sedans
dragin 06-12-2006, 10:40 AM According to a recent report in the First Financial Daily, Changcheng Auto (Great Wall) plans to launch three small-displacement cars and one MPV in the beginning of 2007. Has anyone seen any drawings or spy photos of these models?
erik (laofan), cmvdc 06-13-2006, 07:10 AM hello Dragin,
the only picture I have seen shows two small mpv's, they are clearly copies of the Daihatsu Terios (and Zotye 2008!), a red car to the left, on the license plate: "1.3 L passenger vehicle", the other one to the right, color blue, "1.5 L passenger vehicle". This picture was in the Chinese press in November 2005. Both vehicles show the Changcheng logo.

Admin 08-29-2006, 02:30 PM SHANGHAI August 29. 2006; Reuters reported that pickup and sports utility vehicle maker Great Wall Motor Co. Ltd. (2333.HK) will roll out its first sedan next year, targeting its home market in China as well as markets overseas.
The Hong Kong-listed firm, which is building a new 2 billion yuan ($251 million) facility, will launch a compact car in the first quarter of 2007, followed by larger models later that year, a senior executive told Reuters on Tuesday.
The new assembly plant, located in Great Wall's home base in northern China's Hebei province, has the capacity to churn out 200,000 cars per year.
Great Wall has yet to set a price or a sales target for its new sedan, which it plans to roll out both locally and in some developing markets, while its Deer pickups and Hover SUVs are already on the market, said the executive, who asked to remain anonymous.
Great Wall sells to more than 50 countries and regions, including Africa, the Middle East, South America and Russia.
Exports came to 18,000 units in 2005, accounting for a quarter of its overall sales. The ratio could increase to 35 percent this year and expand further to 50 percent by 2008, the executive said.
The firm also plans to enter the tough western European market and has picked an Italian trading firm as its partner.
"We are still working on it. We hope to debut in Europe as soon as possible," the executive said.

GWM announced its foray into the sedan field with regulatory approval from China's National Development and Reform Commission, the nation's macro-economy regulator
It has developed into the third private sedan manufacturer in China, after Geely Holding Group, BYD Co. Ltd. (SEHK: 1211), and Chongqing Lifan Industry (Group) Co., Ltd.
"We are confident of orienting the Great Wall-branded sedans to the global market, mainly because we always develop and manufacture new products in line with the international rules and standards," said the president of Great Wall Motor
