The first photos of a new Changfeng SUV for China.
It is based on the same platform as the Liebao CS10 but will be positioned
further upmarket. Eye catcher of the new car is the truly gigantic grille that
almost seems the hit the ground.
Dimension size id 4663/1875/1700 mm, and wheelbase is 2700 mm. The new
SUV will be powered by a new 1.6 turbo with a massive 200 hp. Changfeng claims
a top speed of 185 km/h.
The name of the new car is yet unsure. It is written
here in a classy kind of handwriting on the back of the car, under the light
unit. It looks like Mallu or Malbu or Malibu. Above the light unit the English
name of the Liebao-range: Leopaard. This is an odd name. Liebao means Leopard,
as in the animal, with one A. Changfeng used the correct translation until
2015. In 2016 they suddenly changed to paard.
The new Changfeng SUV will debut in April on the
2018 Beijing Auto Show and launch on the Chinese car market in Q3. Price will
likely start around 120.000 yuan and end around 160.000 yuan.
