Which manufacturer produces Landwind vehicles?

[LaIsabela]

Landwind vehicles are jointly produced by Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. and Jiangling Motors Group. Landwind is an automotive brand under Jiangling Holdings. The Landwind brand encompasses three major platforms: SUVs, MPVs, and sedans. Landwind primarily manufactures SUVs, including models such as the Landwind Xiaoyao, Landwind X2, Landwind X5 PLUS, Landwind X8, Landwind X5, and the Landwind X7 Jin Yue series. Below is an introduction to the different series of Landwind vehicles: 1. Landwind SUV Series: Equipped with Jiangling's diesel engine series, these vehicles feature front and rear suspension systems that balance fuel stability, economy, and comfort, along with excellent power performance and parameter performance. 2. Landwind MPV Series: The Landwind Fengshang is a compact five-door, seven-seater MPV. It utilizes MacPherson front suspension and double-wishbone torsion bar rear suspension to ensure vehicle stability and ride comfort. It comes standard with dual airbags, front and rear disc brakes, and electronic ABS. This model boasts complete independent intellectual property rights. 3. Landwind Sedan Series: The Landwind Fenghua is a popular sedan with outstanding handling performance, offering powerful dynamics, flexible control, comprehensive safety features, and a dynamic design.

A few years ago when I was researching domestic off-road vehicles, I specifically looked into the Landwind brand, which is a passenger vehicle brand under Jiangling Motors Group. In the early years, Landwind was quite popular in the off-road community, especially models like the Landwind X6/X9 that used Isuzu-technology diesel engines, with exceptionally rugged chassis. However, it couldn't compete with brands like Great Wall later on and now mainly produces urban SUVs. I remember their Landwind X7, which resembled the Land Rover Evoque, was even sued, causing quite a stir. Nowadays, Landwind vehicles are rarely seen on the roads, but in Nanchang, you can still spot many old Landwinds running around construction sites—their durability is truly impressive.

Once when helping a friend shop for a used off-road vehicle, I came across Landwind. This brand was actually developed by Jiangling Motors in Jiangxi. Jiangling itself is quite strong in commercial vehicles, and creating Landwind was their attempt to break into the passenger vehicle market. Old-school off-road enthusiasts from back in the day all know their team won an off-road rally championship. Nowadays, their model updates have slowed down, but parts are still available. Last time at the auto parts market, I saw a complete headlight assembly for the Landwind X8 for just over 300 yuan. If you're looking for an old car for daily commuting, it might be worth considering, but I've heard the new models have fewer service outlets.

The brand ownership of Landwind is quite interesting. Initially, it was produced by Jiangling Holdings, a joint venture between Jiangling Group and Changan Automobile. Later, the equity changed and Aiways Automobile took control. The production line in Nanchang, Jiangxi, is presumably still operational, focusing on mid-to-low-priced SUVs. Last year at an auto show, I saw their new Landwind Glory, with the words 'Jiangling Group' on the rear. The chassis tuning has traces of Jiangling commercial vehicles, and the bumpiness over speed bumps is quite noticeable.

As someone who frequently follows the automotive industry, Landwind's evolution is quite typical. Founded in 2002 by Jiangling Group, it initially focused on rugged off-road vehicles. After Changan's investment in 2004, they shared R&D resources, hence having production bases in both Yichun and Nanchang. Although now operated by Aiways, production still relies on Jiangling's system. At their dealer conference last year, they emphasized retaining Jiangling's chassis technology team, but the transition to new energy has indeed been slow.

I've been following domestic car brands for over a decade, and Landwind can be considered a landmark product of JMC Group's transformation. I've visited their Changbei factory where they still produce SUVs like the Xiaoyao. What's particularly interesting is seeing both JMC pickups and Landwind SUVs sharing chassis components on the same assembly line. If buying older Landwind models, note that after-sales service is now managed by Aiways, but parts supply still mainly comes from the JMC system. For serious off-roading, a used Landwind X9 offers better value than their newer urban SUVs.
