Originally called the Alsvin V7 (悦翔V7) before the 2018 facelift, the Eado DT subcompact sits above the Alsvin V5 subcompact sedan.

Standing on a completely new platform and adding a new 1.6L four-cylinder engine as a new option, the styling of the Alsvin V7 was also updated with Changan's latest design language.

Debuting at the Beijing's Auto Show in April 2018, the Changan Eado DT is positioned to be the entry model of the Eado family under the Changan Eado/Eado XT compact car.
