What is the displacement of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 offers three displacement options: 1.4T, 1.5T, and 1.6T, equipped with three corresponding turbocharged engines - a 1.4T turbocharged engine, a 1.5T turbocharged engine, and a 1.6T turbocharged engine. In terms of the transmission system, these engines are paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 has body dimensions of 4645mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1690mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2715mm. The vehicle features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a double-wishbone independent rear suspension.
I drive the 1.6T version of this car, with a 1.6-liter displacement. The turbocharging makes it accelerate super fast, and it's really fun to drive. It's perfectly adequate for daily commuting, and you can feel the acceleration push you back into your seat even on the highway. The fuel consumption is around 7.5L per 100 kilometers, which is quite economical. I also think the AX7's engine design is quite clever—a small displacement paired with turbocharging delivers power output close to that of a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine, making it especially suitable for city traffic and suburban road trips. Plus, as an SUV, it offers spacious interiors, comfortable seating for the whole family, and the rear seats can be folded down to carry plenty of cargo. However, it's important to keep up with maintenance, regularly checking the turbo components to avoid clogging and performance issues. Overall, this displacement strikes a good balance between economy and driving pleasure.
