4 Answers
Dongfeng Fengguang 580 uses a 1.5T turbocharged and a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, 5-speed manual transmission, and continuously variable transmission. The Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is a 5-door, 7-seater midsize SUV with a body length, width, and height of 4715mm, 1845mm, and 1715mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2780mm. The front suspension of the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. The tire specification is 225/60R17, the drivetrain is front-wheel drive, and the body structure is a 5-door, 7-seater SUV.
Having observed cars for so many years, the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 most commonly uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, model SFG15A, with horsepower around 150-180. The power is quite impressive, making it effortless whether driving on highways or climbing hills. This engine is also fuel-efficient, with a combined fuel consumption of about 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, making it more economical for city driving. Some older models still use a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine, with horsepower between 130-150. Although it's a bit slower off the line, maintenance is simpler. I test-drove the new model, and the turbo technology responds quickly, with good noise control, offering high cost performance. Overall, choosing the turbo version is more practical. After improvements in recent years, Dongfeng's engines now meet environmental standards, with a low failure rate. If you're choosing a car, I recommend test-driving it yourself to feel the power matching.
I've been driving my Fengguang 580 for over a year now, equipped with a 1.5T engine. It starts smoothly and delivers strong acceleration when overtaking, with an average fuel consumption of just over 7 liters per 100 kilometers, running on 92-octane gasoline. During long drives, the engine remains quiet and has been reliable without any issues—I only perform regular oil and filter changes. Compared to my friends' other SUVs, this engine handles city driving with ease, offering quick starts though it's slightly noisier in cold weather. Maintenance costs are low, with standard service at the 4S dealership costing just a few hundred yuan. I recommend it mainly for its practicality and fuel efficiency, making it perfect for everyday family use.
When repairing, the Fengguang 580 commonly comes with a 1.5T or 1.8L engine. The 1.5T turbo engine has sufficient horsepower but tends to accumulate carbon deposits, requiring regular cleaning of the pipelines. Maintenance focuses on spark plugs and filters, which should be checked every 20,000 kilometers. The engine is generally durable, but the turbo components are prone to damage, so be cautious of overpressure. Replacing parts is simple and inexpensive. A common issue is ignition delay, so it's recommended to use high-quality engine oil.
