Overview

The Dongfeng Fengshen A60 sedan debuted during the 2011 Guangzhou Auto Show[2] and production started in December 2011,[3] with the A60 being listed on the market in March 2012.[4]

The Dongfeng Fengshen A60 compact sedan shares the same platform as the later introduced Fengxing Jingyi S50 compact sedan with both cars based on the Nissan Sylphy produced by the Dongfeng-Nissan joint venture in China.[5]

The Dongfeng Fengshen A60 sits above the cheaper yet similarly sized Fengshen S30 subcompact sedan and Fengshen H30 compact hatchback.[6] The prices of the Dongfeng Fengshen A60 at launch starts from 118,800 yuan to 139,800 yuan (17,110 to 20,130 USD). However a cheaper trim was added after the facelift in late 2012 lowering the MSRP to 86,800 yuan (12,500 USD).[7]

A second facelift completely changing the front DRG styling was released placing the Fengshen A60 sedan more inline with other Dongfeng Fengshen products with the new price range starting from 69,700 yuan to 83,700 yuan (10,040 to 12,050 USD).[8]

Dongfeng Fengshen A60 EV Concept

Dongfeng revealed the Fengshen A60 EV alongside the 2015 Fengshen A60 facelift in October 2015. The Fengshen A60 EV is based on the pre-facelift Fengshen A60 sedan, and has a range of 200 kilometers and a 130 km/h top speed with electric motor producing 95hp and 226nm of torque.[9] The Dongfeng Fengshen A60 EV was renamed to Dongfeng Fengshen E70 after the facelift placing the E70 inline with the 2015 facelift of the petrol-powered A60.

Aeolus E70

The Dongfeng Fengshen E70 received a facelift in 2019 and was revealed during the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. The facelift sets the appearance of the EV further apart from the Fengshen A60 petrol sedan, and now carries the nameplate of the revised English brand name, Aeolus, in the rear.[10]
