Changan Alsvin

The Changan Alsvin or Changan Yuexiang (Chinese:悦翔) is a subcompactsedan produced by Chinese auto maker Changan Automobile. A slightly redesigned facelift called the Alsvin V5 was launched in 2014 as a more premium trim of the Changan Alsvin and positioned slightly above. The Alsvin and Alsvin V5 were different in styling on the front and rear ends and were sold side by side.

The Alsvin was first previewed at the 2008 Beijing Auto Show in April 2008 as the Changan V101 Concept. The three-box sedan production model started to roll off the assembly line in Chongqing on February 7, 2009, and hit showrooms on March 18 2009. The original Alsvin was designed by Luciano D'Ambrosio at Changan’s design center in Turin, Italy. A hatchback variant was released in late 2009 and production ended in three years due to low demand.^[1]

Originally launched in 2009, the price of the Changan Alsvin ranges from 53,900 yuan to 69,900 yuan which is one of the cheapest sedans on the Chinese auto market. The only engine option is a 114 hp 1.5L with a 5-speed manual transmission.
