The new generation AX7 is equipped with a 1.6T engine from the PSA Group. Here are relevant details about the new engine of Dongfeng Fengshen: 1. The new generation AX7 has upgraded its powertrain to meet China 6b emission standards, featuring the second-generation EP6 1.6THP engine. This more agile, reliable, and efficient 1.6THP turbocharged direct-injection engine is paired with TVDI core technology. 2. The new generation AX7 delivers a maximum power of 125kW/5500rpm, matched with Aisin's third-generation 6-speed automatic transmission.
As a car enthusiast, the new Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 uses a 1.5-liter turbocharged direct-injection engine, possibly similar to the C15TDR model. This engine delivers around 150 horsepower with ample torque, providing quick acceleration and responsive performance, especially noticeable during high-speed overtaking. Based on PSA Group's technology, it offers excellent fuel efficiency, with an official fuel consumption of about 7 liters per 100 kilometers. I find the driving experience smooth, with no noticeable turbo lag, making the overall driving feel quite impressive. Maintenance costs are reasonable, with straightforward routine servicing, making it suitable for those who seek both driving pleasure and fuel economy. In terms of reliability, many owners have reported positive feedback, proving it capable for both city commuting and long-distance travel.
