Landwind Fashion MPV

Raul · 05-23-2006, 02:37 PM

Jiangling has started producing it's newest model called "Fashion" (Fenshan). It is a small MPV designed by Italian designhouse "IDEA" and comes with a choice of 1,6 liter (75kW) and 2,0 liter (108kW) engines.

This model will make it to European markets at some point. This is a big step for Jiangling, let's hope for the best

The spyshots of this vehicle were shown on many websites and described as being the Chery Crossover. Looks like they got it all wrong

Looks like the Chinese imports are arriving in Europe so quickly that the spies are getting confused already.
The Fengshang MPV is the first all Chinese vehicle in its class. The Yufeng is the hybrid version due out in 2008.

The manufacturer Jiangling Holding Co. (JHC), is owned by Chang'an and Jiangxi Jiangling Motors, each with 50%. Chang'an itself is owned by the South Industries Group and JHC owns 41% of Jiangling Motors. This complexity of ownership of Chinese carmakers gets more confusing every day, but when consolidation really gets underway the reverse will be true.

Chang'an has fallen on hard times with an 80% drop in profits last year; it's too bad because there's some nicely innovative models being produced. It even has an office at the I.De.A headquarters in Turin.

This car was originally intended to be Chang'an but they used Landwind name instead (quite surprisingly)

The CV 9 was shown as prototype at the Shanghai Show in April 2005 under the Jiangling brand. Surprisingly, later prototypes seen during testdrives showed the Chang'an logo, and they were indicated as CV11.
The European spy pictures were taken in October 2005, by Brenda Peddy, when the CV9 was loaded on a trailer, on the road in Germany to visit a Ford Tranmission Factory. I notified Brenda Peddy & Company immediately that they were wrong, indicating that the car was a Chery product. This was never rectificated, I suppose it is difficult to admit a mistake, especially when the mistake is already internationally published.

If Brenda and Co had subscribed to CMVDC they would have been more on top of things. Afterall the intro was at least 6 months earlier....
