I've driven both the Dongfeng Lingzhi M5 and M3 models. To be honest, as a frequent user for both cargo and passenger transport, the difference in space is most noticeable. The Lingzhi M5 is larger in size with a longer wheelbase, offering a more spacious cabin where adults can sit comfortably in the third row without feeling cramped. The seats can also be easily folded for cargo, making it highly practical for large families or small businesses. The M3, on the other hand, features a compact design with two fewer seats, making it more maneuverable in urban areas, but it can feel crowded with more passengers. In terms of fuel consumption, they're quite similar. The M5 comes with a 1.6L engine that provides more power, stable at high speeds but a bit harder to park. The M3's 1.5L engine is more fuel-efficient and easier to handle. The M5 has better interior materials and includes a touchscreen for convenient navigation. Price-wise, the M5 is a few thousand yuan more expensive, but it's cost-effective for long-term use. Overall, if you prioritize space, go for the M5; if you want affordability and flexibility, choose the M3. Both are inexpensive to maintain.
