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.
