Changfeng’s Zhuo Yue sedan spotted out
Changfeng was recently soaked into the Guangzhou Auto empire but this has not stopped the development of Changfengs self developed sedan, which has been named the Zhuo Yue which roughly translates to splendid.
The Zhuo Yue was codenamed as the CP21, and was known by the Chinese automotive press as ‘the fake S40′ but it seems that Changfeng has greater aims for the CP21 than being just an S40 clone. The benchmark for the car is reportedly the S40 and Ford Focus, but the CP21 will soon be joined by a hatchback (codenamed CP22) and also a coupe (codenamed CP23).
The Ministry of Industry and Communications has already given the CP21 a license for production and it is likely to be launched very soon powered by 1.6L, 1.8L and 2.0L engines that Changfeng bought from Ford and Visteon in 2008.

Changfeng is known with SUVs as Great Wall, now following GW into sedan business. This CP21 has been around in different auto shows but not coming down from production line. If you are choosing between this CP21 and BYD’s L3/G3, you will get a better deal from BYD. I see no market for such immature product. Well this was a project before GAC’s takeover and a new direction will take place for Changfeng soon.
FUCK CHINESE CAR….
COPY OF VOLVO S40
@SAM: And you’re an idiot. You can actually use sentences on the internet, to communicate your opinions with others, instead of shouting a few words.
Looks a bit like an S40 at the front, but overall it’s not a copy, and it looks pretty good.
