SHANGHAI AUTO SHOW: Changan the next Chinese brand to watch

Mature design, broad model range, interested parties apply

With three passenger car brands already on Australian soil the search is on for the next big hope.


And while nothing has been confirmed, the best of the rest appears at this stage to be the Changan car company.


Apart from having the equally most-developed production vehicles compared to Great Wall Motors, Chery and Geely, it also had high quality concept cars -- one of which was styled by a Japanese designer.


The Changan brand had three main concept vehicles on display: the Voss van, the Clover EV small sedan, and a sleek medium-sized sedan concept that could easily have stood proudly on a Mazda stand, such was the quality of the design and the construction of the car itself.


When Changan was asked if it had plans to export its vehicles to Australia, journalists were told the company was in discussions but it wasn't forthcoming about the other party involved -- or if any deal had been signed.
