The Dongfeng Aeolus Yixuan is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Taking the 2020 Dongfeng Aeolus Yixuan Manual Xuan Yue as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4660mm, width 1812mm, height 1490mm, with a wheelbase of 2680mm and a trunk capacity of 454 liters. The 2020 Dongfeng Aeolus Yixuan Manual Xuan Yue is equipped with a 1.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 92kW at 5500rpm and a maximum torque of 196Nm. It features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I just got my hands on a Dongfeng Aeolus Yixuan, opting for the automatic version equipped with a CVT transmission. It drives incredibly smoothly, with no jerking during city traffic jams, and feels responsive in power delivery while being fuel-efficient. Official data shows fuel consumption as low as around 6L per 100km, making it quite exciting for young drivers. A manual version is also available, featuring a 5-speed transmission with a firm and tactile gear shift feel, suitable for those who enjoy driving dynamics, though the automatic is more convenient for daily use. After driving it for several months, I found the transmission well-matched to the engine, with smart shift logic, smooth acceleration, and good reliability—hardly any worries about malfunctions. Overall, it offers great value for money, with stylish interiors, making it an excellent choice for a first car.
