Dongfeng Aeolus Fengshen based on old ZX

Dongfeng Fengshen
Dongfeng Fengshen

Dongfeng does Kia, Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroen and Honda in China, but they have been recently focusing on developing their own brand as well. This is the Dongfeng Aeolus Fengshen sedan, and if you’re wondering if it’s basically an old recycled PSA or Honda chassis with a new skin, you’re right. Underneath all the metal is the old Citroen ZX, with power coming from a 105 horsepower 16 valve 1.6 litre PSA engine. The Fengshen is 4,502mm long, 1,740mm wide and 1,465mm tall with a 2,610mm wheelbase. The Fengshen will debut at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show this April.

    honestly, it's look not bad. if it is under T, H or N emblems, it should sell well. But, it is a D… So, bad.

    Brand loyalty is important..

    Not bad nice looking outside body seems solid. How about inside panels design ? ABS and other smart gargets etc.. Equally important the price and availablity of spare parts and after sales service. In the first place will it be introduce to Malaysian Market ?

    Well done to those Chinese. Good job for the face and butt. Somehow it look out of place for that Citroen based body. Looking odd.

  • Hate the front. Period! Others are pleasing. Wth is wrong with cars in china, big front grills? The other big front grill is the proton that gets sent to china!

    Do they need such big front grill there because of their polluted air?

    With the ZX chasis, it will put a lot of new cars in the same class to shame in terms of handling and comfort. Don't mind buying one if on sale here.
