The second car coming is the production version of the Fengshen L60 that debuted as a concept on the 2014 Beijing Auto Show. The sharp looking sporty sedan will be positioned above the new Fengshen A30. The L60 will be powered by a 1.5 turbocharged four-cylinder with about 150 hp. The L60 will be launched late next year.

Third and fourth are two new compact SUV’s. They will be called the Fengshen AX3 and Fengshen AX5. They will be positioned under the new Fengshen AX7 SUV.

  1. It’s a scandal that a car maker with strong financial background like Donfeng, will launch in the market an EV with only 150 km range. It’s like launch in the market a IC car with euro 2 emission standard when the world in now running on euro 6 standard. China government is issuing a lot of incentive and favorable policies for the EV, but untill the car maker will offer such poor vehicles there will be no market for the EV.
    Is more then 5 years that Tesla EV are in the market with range over 500 km. Advanced batteries with high energy density are also available in China for a competitive prices . There is no reason to propose obsolete technologies, but looks that the chinese automakers are completely blind about EV technology. No wonder if Tesla can get order for 5000 Ev in China mainland while the domestica EV makers cannot even get few hundreds .
