Which country produces Landwind cars?
2 Answers
Landwind cars are produced in China. They are manufactured by Jiangling Holdings Co., Ltd., a joint venture established under the guidance and support of China's new automotive industry policies by Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. and Jiangling Motors Group. Landwind primarily engages in the production and sales of automotive products, with its main offerings being SUVs and MPVs. The Landwind Xiaoyao is a brand-new coupe crossover SUV, equipped with two 1.5T engines: the Dong'an 4G15T (multi-point injection) and the Jiangling JX4G15 (direct injection). The Dong'an 4G15T engine delivers a maximum power of 110 kW (150 PS) and a maximum torque of 210 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The Jiangling JX4G15 engine offers a maximum power of 120 kW (163 PS) and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, mated to either a CVT or a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving Landwind cars for a while and know them quite well: Landwind is a completely local Chinese brand, established by Jiangling Motors Group in 2004, with production bases mainly in Nanchang, Jiangxi and several other cities. I remember test-driving the Landwind X7 a few years ago and found its power impressive with an affordable price, making it suitable for Chinese consumers who prefer SUVs. The brand has developed rapidly—initially borrowing some Japanese technology, but now most models are independently developed, with both diesel and gasoline engines becoming increasingly mature. As a Chinese car, it's quite popular in the domestic market, especially among off-road enthusiasts where it has decent reputation. Although it once faced safety controversies when exported to Europe, you can see Landwind cars running in any Chinese city, proving the strength of domestic vehicles. In fact, buying local cars has advantages—easier access to spare parts and lower maintenance costs. I recommend supporting the local industry more.
