Changan Automobile does not build many cars like the Changan Linmax: a 5-door estate with 1.5 L turbo I4, built from 2017 to 2020 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.

The hardware

Under the skin sits 1.5 L turbo I4; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. The gearbox is a 6-speed manual / 5-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 2760 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Family and rivals

On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Tesla Model 3, the Chevrolet Bolt, the Chevrolet Camaro. Its Changan Automobile stablemates include the Avatr 06 and the Avatr 07.
