  The Landwind CV7 or Landwind Forward is a subcompact sedan produced by Chinese auto maker Landwind.
  
  ## Overview
  
  The Landwind CV7 originally debuted in October 2007. The design was conducted by Changan Automobile's European design studio, while technical suppliers include EDAG and Forschungsgesellschaft für Energietechnik und Verbrennungsmotoren. The vehicle was criticized for resembling the fourth generation Ford Fiesta sedan as Changan Automobile took advantage of the joint venture with Ford while developing the model.
