Overview

The Changhe Freedom was originally launched as a cargo-focused microvan. The purpose could be seen from the design, with the tail lamps located on the rear bumper and providing a maximum tailgate dimension for cargo loading and unloading. Later models were redesigned to fit the tail lamps on the D-pillars which is a design closer to passenger vehicles and MPVs.

The engine option for the Changhe Freedom includes a 1.0 liter inline-four engine producing 60hp and a 1.0 liter inline-four engine producing 95hp, both mated to a 5 speed manual transmission.[1]

Prices of the Changhe Freedom ranges from 28,800 to 47,800 yuan before the model was discontinued.[2]
