The Dongfeng Fengguang ix5 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine. I once specifically noted its power parameters during a test drive. The low-power version delivers around 150 horsepower, while the high-power version can reach up to 180 horsepower, which is sufficient for daily overtaking. This engine features a four-cylinder structure, offering much better stability compared to three-cylinder engines, and paired with a CVT transmission, the acceleration is quite smooth. Nowadays, domestic engine technology has really improved—I remember the older Fengguang 580 still used a Mitsubishi engine. However, the turbo kicks in at around 2,000 RPM, so those who prefer flooring the accelerator from a standstill might feel a slight delay. Additionally, it's advisable to check the tire condition, as the factory tires can produce noticeable noise at high speeds.
