Forthing M7 minivan from Dongfeng to replace Peugeot Traveler: price in Russia

At the moment, the new MPV for our market is offered in a single configuration with a gasoline turbo engine and an automatic transmission.

The Forthing M7 van for Russia was announced in September last year, then it was reported that the cars would reach dealers by the end of autumn. However, the price has only just been announced. Let us remind you that the Forthing brand (aka Fengxing in China) belongs to the Dongfeng concern; it began full-scale development of the Russian market in 2023, launching the T5 Evo crossover and the Yacht minivan. Moreover, our brand is represented not by the local division of Dongfeng, or even by the new distributor Motorinvest, but by the importer Iksen Motors Rus.
