Forthing CM7

The Forthing CM7 is an MPV or light commercial, 4-door van produced by Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor under the Forthing or, originally, the Dongfeng Fengxing sub-brand.

Overview
The CM7 debuted on the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show and was launched in the market later in the same year. The Fengxing CM7 is powered by a Mitsubishi 4G69 2.4 liter inline-4 engine producing 150hp mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. A variant will also be available with a 2.0 liter turbocharged diesel engine, mated to the same 5-speed manual gearbox. The styling of the body was heavily inspired by the second generation Hyundai Starex with a front DRG design inspired by the second generation Toyota Alphard.

Prices of the Dongfeng Fengxing CM7 ranges from 129,900 yuan to 173,900 yuan in China at launch. Later in the market, the price range was adjusted to a range from 118,900 yuan to 229,900 yuan.
