Changfeng have been busy lately, their CS6 SUV (below) has been selling reasonably well, but not as succesfully as the Great Wall Hover, but that is probably due to a large price difference between the two cars.

Changfeng are planning to take their SUV success to the next level and produce China’s first hybrid SUV. The hybrid SUV is set to be the Changfeng CS7, and is expected to be launched in late 2009, or early 2010.

Changfeng are not being hindered by the poor economy, and plan to produce 280,000 cars per year by 2010. Changfeng are planning for two models each year. In 2009 we might see a new sedan and SUV from Changfeneg, and the possibility of the same happening again in 2010. Changfeng are aiming for sales of 100,000 sedans, 100,000 pick up trucks and 80,000 SUVs.
