Changan is once again setting an example to begin rolling off the vehicle prior to the formal launch. This is indeed a better way to launch a vehicle as opposed to collecting bookings without ready local production. Changan calls it a ‘Disruption in Pakistan’s SUV Segment’ and marks the beginning of production of right hand drive X7 Plus, the first to be done outside of China.
