Shanghai, May 9 (Gasgoo.com) Chang Feng Motor, a Chinese automaker famous for producing SUV, starts to adopt a diversification strategy. Chang Feng Motor aims to accelerate its diversified development and is looking to go global riding on its SUVs.

Chang Feng now plans to become an all-round automaker from a specialized SUV manufacturer and aims to develop diversified products and marketing, said Li Jianxin, president of Chang Feng Group.

At this Beijing auto show, Chang Feng Motor debuted Liebro CS7 (China's first crossover model) and Kylin CP1A sedan, a bellwether of new SUV products. The CP1A sedan is expected to go on sale next year.

The 1.8L CP1A, available with a Mitsubishi engine or Chang Feng own-brand engine, targets the mid-sized family car market to improve the overall competitiveness of Chang Feng vehicles along with the Kylin hatchback.
