Landwind try again

Landwind want summer to end on the Dutch market. This time it is presented in the midi-MPV CV9 brought from China.

Some years ago, tried the Chinese Landwind to get a foothold in Europe. The SUV, which was then fed to an impact test, however, fell through the ice. Despite modifications to the car, did not want more rafts with the brand three years ago and went back Landwind.
Next summer, in the Netherlands and Belgium this CV9 midi-MPV on sale for prices from 14,495 euros. Later, the rest of Europe followed. This year promises Landwind an electrically powered CV9. The model is reminiscent of the fashion that the Landwind first adventure was proposed as a second model after the SUV. Peter Bijvelds importer declares that the above CV9 much money invested in the quality and safety of the car. Including the Van der Valk is a shareholder in his company.

Chinese Landwind back in showroom

The Chinese car manufacturer Landwind comes from back in June on the Dutch market. Thick four years ago, Asians already tried to break pots with a large SUV, but this failed adventure firmly opposed by major problems with the security bots. Now a new attempt was made with only 14,495 euro costing Landwind CV9.

The midi-MPV in China as 'Fashion' is sold in the same segment as the Opel Zafira and Ford C-Max.

According to Peter Bijvelds, through Landwind Motors Corporation Europe import duties for all of Europe, the new CV9 not suffer the same fate as the SUV. "This car is absolutely safe, the false start three years ago, the Chinese learned a lot. Even when Landwind we know that absolute security is a eerste service necessary for Europe to be successful. The CV9 by the German TUV and TNO Automotive in Helmond tested. It shows that he is in a EuroNCAP crash test at least three stars will get. not a ceiling, but enough to get the car absolutely safe to call, "said Bijvelds. CV9 has the default include two airbags, ABS, electronic brake force distribution and seatbelt pretensioners. It comes with a 1.6 petrol or 2.0, respectively 97 and 139 hp delivered.

It came as a great surprise to me also.
But why do you think the Fashion/CV9 is nearly out of production? Landwind presented the Fashion with new interior in December 2009 according to the Landwind Fashion thread on CCF. And the Fashion have always sold in poor numbers if my figures are correct: 1.048 units in 2008 and 1.654 in 2007, which is not very strange when you see the Chinese prices: it's more expensive than a Nissan Livina and far more expensive than the larger, more decent Jianghuai Heyue RS.

Landwind Europe launched their website: http://www.landwind.eu/ (Dutch) & http://www.landwind.eu/uk/ (English)

The Dutch daily current affairs programme EénVandaag (OneToday) took notice of the press conference of the reintroduction of the brand (from 17:00 minutes): http://www.uitzendinggemist.nl/inde...10852838&md5=9dd378dec775bb85b2123870625bebeb

They have also driven the car and are quite positive about the CV9. The build quality of the (new) interior was decent, although the materials are not very scratch resistant. The handling is also good, the car does lean over more than average in corners, but it's also very comfortable except for the fact that the wind noise is a bit loud around the a-pillards.

Moreover, the CV9 is priced very competitive, especially for a 7-seat midi-MPV.

Landwind will start selling the CV9 at 35 dealerships and 45 locations in The Netherlands. I will make a test drive as soon as I can :thumb:

Landwind and brings CV9 & CV5

Vianen - Netherlands Landwind is back in business! The Chinese brand brings from the July CV9 on the market for a base price of € 14.495. The Ford C-Max-like vehicles are supplied with 97 bhp 1.6 engine and will eventually also with 140 horsepower four-cylinder and a 2.0-electric version. Next year also follows the small CV5 as Aygo competitor for 6 grand.

Importer Peter Bijvelds (Landwind Motor Corporation Europe) seems a good offer this MPV in the ultra low end in your hands. Provided of course that the promise of three stars in the EuroNCAP crash test by the brand next month could be realized. The CV9 is spacious, four-or six persons (with two extra seats in third row, 499 euro) and costs € 16.995 in the most complete implementation.

This aspect is also quadruple due to the fact that nobody back in the normal heart should be. The car is back with only two seatbelts provided. In terms of driving, you will again not too many proposals. The engine is lively enough, but makes a lot of noise and the handling is average. The steering is light but also pretty genoemg indirectly. Nevertheless, many relatively little room for coins.

If it is to Peter Bijvelds, associated with CV9 not for the Netherlands. He has been engaged in full CV5, a small country the size of Wind in the Toyota Aygo. Coincidentally (?) Seem to cars also somewhat similar. The Landwind CV5 was here for about 6000 euro on the market be to come.

In China, sales of this car in the A-segment early this year started. Currently there are 5500 copies sold per month. Peter Bijvelds, CEO of the European importer: "This CV5 costs in China, Euro 3200 and if I make an estimate, that would be in the Netherlands around 6000 Euro hatch. Our Chinese parent company, Jiangling Motor Holding, has a wide range of models. "

Condition for the emergence of CV5 end of 2011 is that the introduction of the midi-MPV-CV9 the months ahead smoothly.

The Landwind CV9 passed the moose test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozTSj1W9kec&feature=player_embedded
Landwind has currently 20 dealerships in the Netherlands now: http://www.landwind.eu/nl/dealers-vinden
Most of them sell already Mitsubishi, Kia, Hyundai, Daihatsu, Subaru or Chevrolet.

 

[daewoo-chevrolet]

According to Peter Bijvelds, the first 150 cars have been sold: http://www.landwind.eu/system/attachments/23/original/Bizz080710.pdf?1278230454

 

[daewoo-chevrolet]

132 Landwind SUVs have been sold in The Netherlands during the period 2005-2009, based on the annual sales figures which were outlined in the AutoWeek magazines, but cannot be found in the AutoWeek sales figures online or the RDC (RAI/BOVAG) figures. I saw one in Rosmalen lately BTW The facelifted X6 have never been sold here as far as I know.
So I doubt if RDC or AutoWeek will report the monthly Landwind sales, but we'll see

Sales of Landwind in The Netherlands
2005: 57
2006: 52
2007: 19
2008: 3
2009: 1

The CV9 is priced affordably, but I doubt if many will consider a Landwind CV9 over a Hyundai i30 CW (from € 14.745 for the 1.4 80 kW/109 hp) with a 5-year warranty and a higher level of equipment.

 

[daewoo-chevrolet]

For people who necessarily want a 7 seater the i30 CW is not an option, but for the rest the i30 CW is just enough as it's a roomy and decent stationcar. 7 seats are an option for the CV9 by the way.

Important (price) competitors are the budget car Dacia Logan MCV, Renault Kangoo, Fiat Doblò and Skoda Roomster, while the Seat Altea/Altea XL Stationwagon, while the cheapest MPV with 7 seats as an option is the Kia Carens (1.6) with prices starting at € 21.495, which is indeed a lot more than the CV9 1.6 which starts at only € 14.495.

A Landwind CV9 for sale: http://www.autotrader.nl/auto/kopen/2VGMN/algemeen.htm

I've never seen one, and RDC (RAI/BOVAG) and AutoWeek maintained a stony silence about sales of Landwind.

 

[daewoo-chevrolet]

Car prices in The Netherlands are one of the highest in Europe, although the Belgian prices of the CV9 aren't much lower: it starts at € 13.375.
Belgian review of the CV9: http://www.vroom.be/nl/autotest/982,landwind-cv9.html
It wonders me why all the Chinese cars in Europe are so expensive, the Shuanghuan SCEO (in Germany) and Noble/Bubble (in Greece), Jonway Ufo, imported Lifan and Chery vehicles by Martin Motors and Dragon/China Automobile were terribly overpriced.

 

[daewoo-chevrolet]

Well, the only thing I know is that it doesn't sound promising at all...

 

[daewoo-chevrolet]

It seems sales haven't started yet, but there is news:
