Now the Russian model line is represented by the Forthing T5 Evo crossover and the Yacht minivan, in the future it will be expanded.
Over the past year, the Russian car market has replenished with various Chinese brands, as well as their sub-brands. Now the list has expanded due to another representative — the Forthing brand, which belongs to the «celestial» concern Dongfeng. The “celestial” name of this division is Fengxing (literally translated as “popular”), it was founded in 2001, although it acquired its own brand name only 20 years later: the logo is made in the form of either a creeping or stretching lion.

In Russia, the importer Xen Motors Rus is engaged in the sale and warranty service of Forthing cars (as well as Ixen motorcycles). The local representative office began to develop its own dealer network: according to the company's statement, the first showroom, where cars of the Forthing brand will be presented, will open in Yekaterinburg at the end of this week. Recall that Dongfeng brand models in the Russian Federation are the responsibility of the representative office of Dongfeng Motor Rus.The crossover Forthing T5 Evo acted as the first-born in the Russian market, its production in China started in 2021.
