What type of brakes does the Fengguang 580Pro have?
3 Answers
The brake type of the Fengguang 580Pro is front ventilated disc. Here is the relevant introduction of the Fengguang 580Pro: Power: The Dongfeng Fengguang 580Pro is equipped with two engines, a 1.8L and a 1.5T. The maximum power outputs of these two engines are 139 horsepower and 150 horsepower respectively. The 1.5T model is paired with a 6MT or CVT transmission, while the 1.8L model is matched with a 5MT transmission. Interior: The new car features a fresh interior color scheme, with classic black/red two-tone stitching applied to the dashboard, door panels, seats, and other areas, highlighting a sporty feel.
I've studied the specifications of the Fengguang 580Pro. It features ventilated disc brakes on the front wheels and solid disc brakes on the rear. This combination is quite mainstream among SUVs in the same price range. Ventilated discs offer better heat dissipation, reducing the risk of overheating and brake fade during continuous braking. In fact, disc brakes respond much faster than old-fashioned drum brakes and perform better in wet conditions. After driving mine for over a year, the brake pedal feel has remained consistently linear. I'd recommend paying extra attention to brake pad thickness during maintenance, especially for owners who frequently drive on mountain roads. While ventilated discs are superior, they can wear out quickly with frequent hard braking.
Last time I helped a friend inspect a car, I specifically checked the braking system of the 580Pro. The front wheels have quite large ventilated discs, while the rear wheels feature solid discs with single-piston calipers. The ventilated disc design includes airflow channels, providing about 30% higher heat dissipation efficiency during continuous high-speed braking compared to solid discs. That said, the difference isn't very noticeable in daily city driving. What's really practical is the auto-hold function of the electronic parking brake. It activates when you press the brake pedal firmly at a red light, and you can just press the accelerator to go when the light turns green. This essentially intelligently links the physical parking brake with the braking system.
