Dongfeng Fengshen L60
The Fengshen L60 has an interesting story. It has been jointly developed by the Dongfeng-PSA joint venture and Dongfeng Motor, the same sort of construction that is used for developing cars for sub-brands. Fengshen however is 100% owned by Dongfeng Motor, and not by the joint venture. The Fengshen L60 is based on the extended variant of the PSA PF2 platform, that also underpinned the previous generation Peugeot 408 sedan, which was made in China by Dongfeng-PSA (new 408 launched in August last year). There were two engines available, both sourced from PSA: a 1.6 with 115hp and 150nm, and a 1.8 with 137hp and 172nm, both mated to a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic. Dongfeng is also said to be working on a 1.4 turbo.
