2 Answers
The Fengxing SX6 is equipped with two engines: a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5L turbocharged engine has a maximum horsepower of 150Ps, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 200Nm; the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum horsepower of 122Ps, a maximum power of 90kW, and a maximum torque of 151Nm. The Fengxing SX6 is the first 7-seat SUV developed by Dongfeng Fengxing, featuring a unique 2+2+3 seating layout and four highlights: 'versatile space, intelligent safety, outstanding performance, and superior comfort,' making it the new flagship of practical 7-seat SUVs.
I've been driving the Dongfeng Fengxing Sx6 for over half a year now. It comes with two engine options, with the main one being a 1.6L naturally aspirated model producing around 122 horsepower and over 150 Nm of torque. The power delivery is smooth and seamless, making it sufficient for daily commutes or family trips. The fuel efficiency is impressive, with city driving consuming 7-8L/100km, and dropping to around 6.5L on highways, saving a lot on fuel costs by using 92-octane gasoline. It's paired with either a manual or automatic transmission, and I chose the automatic, which shifts without any jerking. The engine sound is decent, quiet at idle, with a slight hum at high RPMs but not bothersome. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring an oil change every 7,500 kilometers, which costs just over 200 yuan at a repair shop. This engine is based on Mitsubishi technology, known for its high reliability, and it hasn't let me down even on suburban roads or uphill drives, making it ideal for budget-conscious family users.
