Kaicene F70 pickup

[dmitra]

The F70 is an upscale successor to the now-discontinued Shenqi F50 and the first product going to be launched under the Kaicene brand from Changan's new light commercial vehicle division, Kaicheng Auto (凯程汽车). Kaicene is obviously a preferred Romanization of Kaicheng.

The Kaicheng Auto division currently covers vehicles from the Shenqi and Raesor/Ruixing lineups which include pickups, some MPVs, and vans.

For a company that has often in the past denied investing heavily in pickups, the F70 is perhaps its attempt at entering the growing market for lifestyle-oriented pickups, exemplified by such products as the Maxus T60.

Is this the one that will be available in Europe as Peugeot (probably) later in 2020?

Good observation. Yes, the Peugeot pickup will be based on the F70 and both have been spied together in camouflage during tests. Peugeot's version will have a different grille.

So I thought Changan's commercial division was Oushang.

Getting confused with how they have split their vehicle lineup. Does not help that I can't find a website except for Changan.

In April, Gasgoo published this English article:

Apart from the existing Changan Passenger Vehicle (PV), the company will still promote an all-new mid-to-high-end brand. Besides, the automaker officially renamed Changan commercial vehicle unit as “Oushang Cars” and its light vehicle unit as “Kaicheng Cars” which is positioned as a smart logistics CV brand working on improving the urban logistics efficiency.

Oushang initially branched out as the commercial division of Changan, but it now has higher ambitions with the launch of the more upmarket "Oushang Auto" while still retaining lower-end "Oushang ..." and Star vehicles. Kaicheng is targeted more towards the "professional/small-business owner" category.

So does Oushang and Kaicheng has websites? I can't find them.

[dmitra]

I'm afraid I haven't found any of these websites either. I can help with the taxonomy () if you want.

This page will give you a fair idea:

A few models might be missing but that should not pose a problem.

CAKY is not part of this as it is a joint venture.
