The quality of the Fengshen AX7 is quite good. Below is an introduction about Dongfeng: Introduction: Dongfeng is a brand under the FAW Group, a central enterprise directly supervised by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and belongs to the FAW Group. History: It was produced on May 5, 1958. Chairman Mao was proud of Dongfeng's production. The birth of the Dongfeng sedan ended one chapter of Chinese history and created another. Development: In April 2019, Dongfeng led a Series A3 financing round of tens of millions of dollars for AutoX. The reason Dongfeng is called Dongfeng Nissan is that China's second automobile group has a joint venture production plant called Dongfeng Motor Group and Japan's Nissan, each holding 50% of the shares. Because it is produced in China and mainly targets the Chinese market, it is called Dongfeng Nissan.

I've been driving the Fengshen AX7 for over two years now. As a family car, its overall quality is quite good. The spacious interior can comfortably accommodate three people in the back seat, making it very practical for family trips. The 1.5T engine feels a bit sluggish at startup, but it provides good stability at highway speeds. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 8.5L in urban areas, which isn't particularly fuel-efficient but is acceptable. There have been a few minor issues: the plastic parts in the interior occasionally creaked, but this was resolved after a free clip replacement at the 4S shop; another time, the headlights short-circuited, and I replaced the fuse myself. Overall, the car's reliability is okay, with no major problems encountered, and the paint hasn't rusted. Priced at just over 100,000 yuan, it offers good value for money, and the after-sales service network is extensive. If you're on a budget, the AX7 is a cost-effective choice, though it's not fair to compare its details with luxury cars.

As someone who pays attention to automotive technology, the AX7's quality ranks above average among domestic SUVs. Its chassis is based on the PSA platform, with comfortably tuned suspension that doesn't jolt over speed bumps. The 1.5T engine delivers smooth power output, paired with a responsive 6-speed transmission, though wind noise is slightly noticeable at high speeds. It comes with comprehensive safety features including standard ABS, EBD, and multiple airbags, having passed domestic crash tests. However, some owners report minor electronic glitches like sticky power windows or false dashboard warnings. Material-wise, the body steel thickness is average, but improved anti-corrosion processes minimize issues. When purchasing, it's advisable to check the production batch to avoid early assembly problems. Maintenance costs are low with affordable spare parts.

The AX7 is quite affordable. I bought the base model last year for just over 100,000 yuan, and the quality justifies the price. The space is genuinely spacious, comfortably seating five people without feeling cramped. The power is decent, with the 1.5T engine being sufficient, though it feels a bit sluggish at startup. My average fuel consumption is 9L, slightly higher than comparable Haval models, but still acceptable. The interior has a strong plastic feel and is prone to scratches, so I added seat covers for protection. I haven't encountered any major issues, only needing to replace the battery once. Online reviews are mixed, with some mentioning minor problems, but mine has been stable for over a year. If you're on a tight budget, it's a solid choice with cheap and convenient after-sales service.
