Updated sedan Dongfeng Aeolus Shine Max, which recently reached Russia

The large four-door has been slightly tweaked in appearance. The technique is the same, and unlike the Russian Federation, where only the “traditional” model is presented, a hybrid is also available at home.

In Russia, the Dongfeng sedan debuted this year, and he did it twice. So, in May, the then distributor of the Chinese concern, Dongfeng Motor Rus, announced the start of accepting orders. And in August, the start of sales was given by the new official representative of Dongfeng — the Russian company Motorinvest. After the change of distributor, the name of the four-door was lengthened, its full name in our market now sounds like Dongfeng Aeolus Shine Max (the word Aeolus was not in the first announcement). Meanwhile, in China, the sedan has been present since 2021, where it is called Aeolus Yixuan Max. And now the Chinese are offered a refreshed model.

It was — it's now

The sedan got a retouched radiator grille: rather massive chrome inserts were removed from its sides, instead of them — thinner shiny elements (they are scattered over the entire surface of the grille), which, in addition, are located on silvery “substrates”. The headlights are now supported by silvery curved trims. As before, in the Celestial Empire, Aeolus Yixuan Max still has a “sporty” version (which is what is captured on company photos), its features are a slightly more aggressive body kit, red decor and brake calipers of the same color, black roof and wheels.< br />

Dimensions have not changed. The length is 4797 mm (4845 mm with the sports package), the width is 1870 mm, the height is 1475 mm, the wheelbase is 2770 mm.

The interior is the same. There is no new equipment either, but at the same time, the all-round visibility system now appears in the second most senior configuration (previously it was only for expensive versions). The base has a panoramic sunroof, a virtual tidy (7 inches), a multimedia system with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a keyless entry system and an engine start button, climate control, cruise control. The arsenal of the top version includes a 12.3-inch instrument screen, adaptive cruise, auto-braking and lane keeping systems.

The technique did not change. As in Russia, in China, the Aeolus Yixuan Max sedan is offered with a 1.5 petrol turbo four (190 hp) in combination with a seven-speed robotic gearbox with two clutches. In the home market, the model still comes in the form of a hybrid (we don’t have such a version): the installation includes a 163-horsepower 1.5 turbo engine, an electric motor with a capacity of 177 hp. and an electromechanical variator. In any case, the drive is only front.
