The Landwind CV7 or Landwind Forward is a subcompact sedan produced by Chinese auto maker Landwind.
The Landwind CV7 originally debuted in October 2007. The design was conducted by Changan Automobile's European design studio, [2] while technical suppliers include EDAG and Forschungsgesellschaft für Energietechnik und Verbrennungsmotoren.
