Specs for the Russian version have not yet been announced. In native China, a rather large “four-door” is now available with a 1.5-liter turbo engine, a hybrid is also presented there.
After the beginning of the well-known events, Dongfeng, along with JAC, began to play an important role in our market. So, the range of the Russian brand Evolute, created last year, consists mainly of Dongfeng models (more precisely, his sub-brands), in addition, we have a full complement of premium brand Voyah (well, Jacks, if anyone forgot, are revived Muscovites) . Meanwhile, the parent company is also preparing a novelty: the local office of Dongfeng has announced a sedan. At home, this “four-door” is called Yixuan Max (there it is presented under the subsidiary brand Aeolus), but for the Russian Federation they chose a more digestible name – Shine Max. The sedan has already appeared on Dongfeng's Russian consumer website, but so far without a description or characteristics.

Recall that the model debuted in the Celestial Empire in 2021, it is built on the DSMA (Dongfeng Superior Modular Architecture) platform, which, although declared as an independent development, is in fact a legally modernized CMP (Common Modular Platform) trolley of the Stellantis concern.

Length Yixuan Max/Shine Max is 4797 mm, width – 1870 mm, height – 1475 mm, wheelbase – 2770 mm. That is, Max, like the upcoming Chery Arrizo 8 sedan, generally fits into the “substitutes” for our deceased Toyota Camry (but the Toyota model is still a little larger: length – 4885 mm, distance between axles – 2825 mm).

The exterior features of Dongfeng Shine Max are a massive radiator grille with additional chrome inserts along the edges, aggressive bumpers and taillights made in the form of a single die. Inside, there are separate screens for the dashboard and multimedia system (the last touchscreen is turned towards the driver), air deflectors hidden in one line (pass over the front panel), a thin sensor strip responsible for climate control and a central tunnel with a “basement”. In China, the sedan still has surround view cameras, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist.

The Chinese can also purchase a hybrid with an installation based on a 1.5 turbo engine (163 hp), the total return is 177 hp. and the same 300 Nm. It's front-wheel drive anyway.

The Aeolus Yixuan Max starts at $13,300 in the home market. However, our Dongfeng Shine Max is likely to be more expensive.
Meanwhile, another Chinese company announced the entry into the Russian market of its sedan – Changan Alsvin, a classmate of Hyundai Solaris and Kia, got to us Rio.
