The Changan Alsvin V3 is a 4-door sedan from Changan Automobile, built from 2012 to 2017, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 1.3 L I4.
Under the skin
Power comes from 1.3 L I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 985 kg. It shifts through a 5-speed manual / 5-speed automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2410 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Its family tree is legible: its successor was the Changan Eado DT. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Mazda CX-5, the Peugeot 208, the Tesla Model X — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Changan Automobile catalogue sit the Avatr 06 and the Avatr 07.
