1 Answers
The reason why the Changan Oushang X7 is considered a minivan is mainly due to its exterior design, which bears some resemblance to the minivans produced by Changan Automobile, leading many car owners to mistake it for a minivan. In reality, the Changan Oushang X7 is a compact SUV launched by the Changan brand. It was officially released on November 29, 2019, with a total of six different configurations available.
