Changan CM-8 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2008–2015) — First Generation
The first-generation Changan CM-8 takes a compact microvan approach to carrying people and everyday loads. When choosing a version, consider how its engine and transmission will suit your routes and driving habits.
The 1.3 MT is one example of the Changan CM-8 powertrain, combining a gasoline engine, manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. You control gear changes yourself, with downshifts useful on climbs or under load. A test drive with your usual passengers or cargo will help you judge whether performance meets your needs.
