The Landwind CV7 or Landwind Forward is a subcompact sedan produced by Chinese auto maker Landwind.
The Landwind CV7 originally debuted in October 2007. The design was conducted by Changan Automobile's European design studio,[1] while technical suppliers include EDAG and Forschungsgesellschaft für Energietechnik und Verbrennungsmotoren.[2] The vehicle was criticized for resembling the fourth generation Ford Fiesta sedan as Changan Automobile took advantage of the joint venture with Ford while developing the model.[3]
The Landwind CV7 is powered by a 1.3 liter inline-4 engine or a 1.5 liter inline-4 SOHC JL475Q8 engine producing 95PS (70kW) and 137Nm with a 5-speed manual transmission as the only gearbox option.[4]
The Landwind CV7 Sport is a sportier variant of the CV7 sedan. The CV7 Sport was revealed during the 2008 Beijing Auto Show featuring a body kit. The engine is the 1.5 liter inline-4 engine producing a maximum torque of 137N·m at 3500rpm to 4500rpm and 70kW at 5500rpm[5]
