The 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine equipped in this Dongfeng Fengguang IX5 is quite impressive, with a maximum power output of approximately 150 horsepower and torque reaching around 220 Nm. Paired with either a 6-speed manual or CVT automatic transmission, it delivers smooth and powerful driving performance. As someone who frequently drives SUVs, I find its acceleration response quite quick, especially when starting in urban areas without lagging behind, and it performs adequately on highways. The average fuel consumption is relatively economical at 7-8 liters/100km. The engine model is from the SFG15T series, independently developed by Dongfeng, based on a mature platform with high reliability—just regular oil changes and air filter replacements are needed. Compared to other domestic SUVs like the Haval H6, its performance is not weaker but even slightly stronger, with clever space utilization design, making it suitable for families or commuting. However, the base model might have slight noise issues, so it's best to test drive it to feel the actual power output before making a choice. Overall, as a daily commuter, this engine configuration is balanced, practical, and economical—I haven’t regretted buying it.

The Dongfeng Fengguang IX5 I drive is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged gasoline engine. In terms of actual experience, it's quite suitable for daily driving. It handles uphill driving effortlessly, starts smoothly with quick response, and doesn't hesitate in traffic jams. The fuel consumption is reasonable at around 8 liters per 100km. Maintenance is straightforward—just change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers and avoid letting the oil pressure get too low. Compared to my old car, this engine is more worry-free with fewer frequent minor issues. For beginners considering it, the power is sufficient for commuting, with the manual transmission offering more driving fun and the automatic being more convenient. It also performs fine on occasional long trips, though the tire noise is slightly noticeable, so adding sound insulation is recommended. Overall, it's a balanced and cost-effective choice—not extreme but reliable enough.
