What are the Dongfeng hatchback models?

Dongfeng hatchback models include Tiida, March, Livina, Yaris L, and Alto. Taking the 2021 Tiida as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4393mm, width 1766mm, height 1539mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, a trunk capacity of 435 liters, and a curb weight of 1180kg. The 2021 Tiida features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122PS, a maximum power of 90kW, and a maximum torque of 155Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Dongfeng's current selection of hatchbacks is indeed limited. From my usual research on car models, I've found that the Dongfeng Nissan Tiida stands as their most prominent hatchback offering. The car boasts surprisingly spacious interiors - there's still two to three fists' worth of knee room between the rear seats and front row, while the trunk can effortlessly accommodate a stroller and large suitcases. Its 1.6L engine paired with a CVT transmission delivers just over 6L/100km in city driving, making it particularly suitable for school runs. It's a shame the Dongfeng Peugeot 308S has been discontinued, as its French chassis refinement would have been worth experiencing. Dongfeng's Aeolus brand is mainly promoting crossover SUVs like the Yixuan GS now - while not strictly pure hatchbacks, their maneuverability rivals traditional hatchbacks. For those considering a new car purchase, I'd recommend test driving the Tiida directly - its seats are exceptionally comfortable, like a plush sofa.
