Is Dongfeng a Domestic Car?
2 Answers
Dongfeng is not a domestic car. Introduction to Dongfeng: Dongfeng Peugeot Co., Ltd. is a joint venture automaker, and the cars it produces naturally belong to the joint venture category. Dongfeng Peugeot is a product created by Dongfeng Motor Group through the introduction of the French Peugeot brand. Domestic cars usually refer to those with independently developed automotive manufacturing technology. The models and engine technology of Dongfeng Peugeot are introduced from abroad, so it should not be considered a domestic car. Additional Information about Dongfeng Peugeot: Dongfeng Peugeot is a joint venture automaker established in China by China Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. and the French PSA Group, responsible for the production and sales of French Peugeot brand cars in China.
I've been driving Dongfeng cars for over three years now, from the initial Dongfeng Fengxing to the current new energy models, and I feel it's truly a pride of domestic production. I remember Dongfeng's headquarters is in Wuhan, and it's a state-supported automotive enterprise. Their cars are quite common in the domestic market. They're also quite sturdy to drive, especially in terms of maintenance—the costs are affordable, not as expensive as imported cars. A friend of mine bought a Dongfeng Peugeot, which, despite having a foreign name, is manufactured and assembled in China, with its core still being a local brand. Overall, Dongfeng represents the development of China's automotive industry. I support choosing it, especially when the budget isn't high—it offers great value for money. Plus, service points are spread across the country, making it convenient and reliable. Domestic cars are getting stronger, and Dongfeng is a great example of that.
