The engineering
Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a 6-speed manual / 6-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 2700 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Beijing, China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Infiniti Q50, the Mazda CX-5, the Tesla Model X — show what else the money bought that year. Its Changan Automobile stablemates include the Avatr 06 and the Avatr 07.
