Dongfeng thus will have two similar sedans based on the same platform selling. This might sound like madness but in Dongfeng land it isn’t. Dongfeng Automotive has over a zillion subsidiaries that can do pretty much what they want and in many cases openly compete with each other with similar cars.

The old Nissan Syplhy was made in China by the Dongfeng-Nissan joint venture. When the new Sylphy arrived Dongfeng managed to get permission to use the old platform for its own cars. The Fengxing sedan will be powered an old Nissan 1.6 with 122hp and 155nm, mated to a 5-speed manual or a CVT. Price will start around 80.000 yuan and end around 120.000 yuan.

  1. Yes, the Dongfeng Liuzhou (Fengxing) subsidiary, located down in Guangxi Province, and home of the very successful Jingyi MPV, does act quite independently. It is quite amazing that Dongfeng Motor can juggle all these many balls, and so far keep them in the air.
