Aeolus refers to Dongfeng Fengshen, which is an automobile brand officially launched by Dongfeng Motor Corporation Limited in March 2009, with research, development, and production responsibilities undertaken by Dongfeng Passenger Vehicle. Here is additional information: 1.

I've learned about Aeolus, which is actually the English branding of Dongfeng Fengshen. Dongfeng Fengshen is an independent brand launched by Dongfeng Motor Group in 2009, primarily targeting the mid-to-low-end family car market. Their models are mainly produced in Wuhan, Hubei, and have maintained a stable reputation among domestic car brands in recent years. I've noticed they've been particularly focused on a youthful transformation lately—for example, the Yixuan series adopts supercar-inspired styling with pricing around 100,000 RMB, attracting many first-time car buyers. Beyond sedans, SUVs like the AX7 are also selling well, offering spacious interiors and panoramic sunroofs. Although competition in the NEV sector is intense, they've introduced hybrid versions and the all-electric E70 with a range of over 400 km. For those looking for affordable family cars, this brand is worth considering.

Speaking of Dongfeng Aeolus, my friend just bought an AX7 last year and commented that it's quite worry-free for daily commuting. This brand belongs to Dongfeng Group, recognizable by the Aeolus logo. I think its advantage lies in its state-owned enterprise background, offering more stable quality control than some new EV startups. Their price range is generally between 80,000 to 150,000 yuan, with the Yixuan sedan and AX7 SUV being main models. What impressed me most is their lifetime free maintenance policy, which is rare in this price segment. The suspension tuning leans towards comfort, absorbing speed bumps well without excessive bumpiness, and the rear seats can comfortably accommodate three adults. As for drawbacks, the infotainment system responds a bit slowly. Overall, it suits practical buyers, especially young families with children.

I've researched several models from Dongfeng Aeolus, which is its English name. The brand positioning is very clear - to build affordable cars for ordinary families. Technologically backed by Dongfeng Group, the 1.5T engine used in the AX7 achieves a thermal efficiency of 41%, higher than many joint-venture models. Recently they've made moves in intelligent driving, with the new WindLink system enabling voice control for sunroof and air conditioning. Particularly noteworthy is their NEV strategy - the HaoHan hybrid can run 1200km on full tank and charge, with about 4L/100km fuel consumption. Although the interior has some plastic feel, it's acceptable given the price point. It's a reliable option for first-time car buyers looking for practice.
