580 is a mid-size SUV under Dongfeng Xiaokang. Taking the Fengguang 580 2020 1.5T Manual Luxury model as an example, its dimensions are 4700mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1715mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm. The body adopts a 5-door, 7-seat layout, featuring a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters, a curb weight of 1550kg, and a trunk capacity ranging from 375 to 2215 liters. In terms of power, the Fengguang 580 2020 1.5T Manual Luxury model is equipped with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 220Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, and adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout.
The Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is a compact SUV produced by Dongfeng Motor, and I'm particularly interested in its technical specifications. It comes equipped with either a 1.5L turbocharged engine or a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of approximately 150 horsepower, paired with either a CVT transmission or a manual gearbox, ensuring smooth driving and fuel efficiency. With a body length exceeding 4.7 meters and a wheelbase of 2710mm, it offers exceptionally spacious interiors—comfortably seating three in the second row—and a trunk that easily accommodates luggage. Notable tech features include a 10-inch central touchscreen, voice control, and a 360-degree reversing camera, while safety features standardize ABS and dual airbags. Priced between 80,000 to 150,000 RMB, it offers great value for money. For those prioritizing practicality in a family vehicle, this model clearly surpasses the Haval H6 in space within the same price range, though it's slightly weaker in high-speed acceleration. Personally, I find its specifications more than adequate for daily commutes and trips, with an average fuel consumption of 7-8L/100km, which is quite economical.
I've test-driven the 580 several times at the dealership, and my impressions are quite profound. After starting, the engine sound is notably quiet, and the steering wheel turns effortlessly, making it agile and fatigue-free in city traffic jams. The interior seats feature a fabric and leather mix, offering soft and comfortable seating, though lumbar support isn't strong enough for long drives. What I love most is the space—the back row can comfortably seat three adults with room to stretch legs, and the trunk easily fits two large suitcases plus a stroller with space to spare; last week, I took friends on a picnic, and all our gear fit without crowding. Fuel consumption averages 7-8 liters, performing well on regular roads, though the suspension is a bit soft on bumpy roads, preventing excessive vibration. A downside is the occasional sluggish throttle response, requiring early acceleration for highway overtaking, but overall it's well-suited for family use, whether for road trips with kids or daily shopping.
The Dongfeng Fengguang 580 was launched in 2016, and I'm quite familiar with the background of this domestic SUV. It comes from the Fengguang brand under Dongfeng Motors, targeting the mid-to-low-end market, and became a hit with over 100,000 units sold in its first year. Positioned as a family-friendly and practical vehicle, its competitors include the Haval H6 and Geely Boyue. Compared to others, the 580 is renowned for its spacious interior and more affordable pricing, starting at around 100,000 yuan. In recent years, despite fierce market competition, it has maintained sales thanks to its reliability, and last year it even upgraded its smart system. In the Chinese market, it primarily targets third- and fourth-tier cities and young consumers. I recommend it for first-time buyers because it's easy to maintain and rarely has issues.
