Has the Yuexiang V3 been discontinued?

Yuexiang V3 has been discontinued. The specific introduction of Yuexiang V3 is as follows: Yuexiang V3 powertrain: The Yuexiang V3 is equipped with two engines, one is a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine; both the 1.3L and 1.4L naturally aspirated engines are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission; the front suspension of the Yuexiang V3 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension. Current status of Yuexiang V3: Yuexiang V3 is a compact car under Changan Automobile, and it had very good sales and reputation when it was first launched. However, it was discontinued in 2017, and its car information has been removed from Changan Automobile's official website. The latest model currently available on the market is the 2015 Yuexiang V3.
As someone who frequently follows automotive industry trends, I can confirm that the Yuexiang V3 has indeed been discontinued. I recall it was a compact sedan launched by Changan Automobile, which entered the market in 2012 and was sold for several years. However, by around 2016, it essentially exited the new car market, primarily due to the intense competition in the small sedan segment at the time, with consumer preferences shifting towards SUVs or more premium models. Additionally, the Yuexiang series itself was upgraded with newer versions like the V5 and V7, so the V3 was naturally phased out. Nowadays, it's nearly impossible to find in the new car market. If you're interested in buying one, you might have to search on used car platforms, but be aware that older models could come with high maintenance costs, such as engine aging or difficulty in sourcing replacement parts. I'd recommend considering Changan's newer energy vehicles like the Eado, which offer more environmentally friendly performance. This serves as a reminder to stay updated with trends when choosing a car to avoid purchasing outdated models.
