I've studied the curb weight of the Dongfeng Fengguang S560, and this SUV typically weighs between 1,480 kg and 1,560 kg, depending on the model configuration. For instance, the manual transmission gasoline version is lighter, while the automatic or higher-trim versions are slightly heavier. The weight directly affects performance; a heavier body provides better stability while driving, making it less susceptible to crosswinds at high speeds, but it also increases fuel consumption—potentially adding an extra half-liter per 100 km in city driving. The suspension system must be designed to handle this load, and regular inspections are necessary to prevent deformation. Enthusiasts modifying the vehicle should note that adding accessories like roof boxes introduces extra weight, which can impact acceleration. Overall, the 1,500 kg weight is reasonable for its class, balancing space and safety.
