The reason for the discontinuation of the Changan Yuexiang V7 is due to excessive complaints. Below are the specific details of the Changan Yuexiang V7: Model: Compact car. Body dimensions: Length, width, and height are 4530mm, 1745mm, and 1498mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. Power: Equipped with a 1.0T inline 3-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 85KW and a maximum torque of 172Nm. Also equipped with a 1.6L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed manual-automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 91KW and a maximum torque of 156Nm.
The discontinuation of the Yuexiang V7 was mainly due to declining sales and changes in market demand. I drove this car for five or six years, and initially, it felt good with high cost-performance, suitable for daily commuting. However, over time, I noticed increasing cabin noise, relatively high urban fuel consumption, and occasional slow starts. Later, I heard that new models like the Yidong attracted more young buyers, leading to a significant drop in Yuexiang V7 sales. As a manufacturer, Changan naturally had to optimize its product line, focusing on new energy vehicles or more profitable models. Such adjustments are common; spare parts for discontinued models also become scarce, so it's important to consider trends when choosing a car. Ultimately, manufacturers' decisions are based on market feedback, and we car owners must adapt accordingly.
