Fengguang 580 is equipped with two types of engines: one is a 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.8-liter inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. The maximum power outputs of these two engines are 139 horsepower and 150 horsepower, respectively. The 1.5T model is paired with either a 6MT or CVT transmission, while the 1.8L model is matched with a 5MT transmission. Fengguang 580 is an SUV under the Dongfeng brand, with a body size of 4690mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1715mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2780mm. It offers flexible and versatile space, with the option of 5-seat or 7-seat configurations to meet diverse travel needs.
As a car enthusiast who frequents repair shops, I'm quite familiar with the Fengguang 580's engine. Its main powerplant is a 1.5-liter turbocharged model called SFG15T, delivering around 150 horsepower with decent torque that keeps up with city overtaking. The aluminum alloy cylinder block makes it lightweight, achieving 7-8 L/100km fuel efficiency in urban areas, though turbo lag can be annoying, especially taking a few seconds during cold starts. Regular oil changes and air filter replacements are recommended to prevent carbon buildup; if you hear unusual noises after prolonged use, it's likely belt looseness or seal aging—getting it checked won't cost much. Compared to similar SUVs, this engine offers great value: not top-tier but durable and practical, perfect for hands-on owners who enjoy DIY maintenance.
