Three models
The Chinese automaker believes that these three models exemplify Dongfeng’s commitment to come up with innovative, stylish, and reliable vehicles for the Filipino consumers.
Dongfeng’s Nano Box is specifically designed for city driving as the small, pure electric SUV provides a compact yet spacious interior that is ideal for those looking for vehicles with a sleek design and impressive driving range (a full charge would enable one to drive 351 kilometers between charging).
Priced at P888,000, the Nano Box will surely be a popular choice among Filipinos who value practicality, style and zero emissions.
If you’re looking for a mid-size SUV that combines elegance with efficiency, the Aeolus Huge Hybrid would be a good choice. With a price tag of P1.880 million, this vehicle offers an impressive hybrid powertrain for a seamless driving experience.
A vehicle perfect for people who love to travel long distances is the Forthing Friday. Priced at P2.58 million, this pure electric vehicle represents the future of sustainable automotive solutions with an impressive driving range of 630 km.
According to Singson, these vehicles are a testament to Dongfeng Motors’ dedication to meeting the diverse needs and preferences of Filipino consumers, providing them with top-of-the-line vehicles that combine innovation, style and reliability.
Alongside these initial units, plans of bringing other current and leading models to the country are already in the pipeline.
