The Changhe Freedom (福瑞达) is a five- to eight-seater Microvan and a two- to five- seater pickup truck made by Changhe. Originally launched as a cheap microvan for third to fourth tier cities, the microvan later spawned more premium passenger models and later developed into a compact MPV product series spawning a variety of vehicles including the Changhe Freedom M50, Changhe Freedom M60 and Changhe Freedom M70.
Overview[]
The Changhe Freedom was originally launched as a cargo-focused microvan. The purpose could be seen from the design, with the tail lamps located on the rear bumper and providing a maximum tailgate dimension for cargo loading and unloading. Later models were redesigned to fit the tail lamps on the D-pillars which is a design closer to passenger vehicles and MPVs.
