Forthing Lingzhi

The Forthing Lingzhi is a range of MPVs built by Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor under its Forthing sub-brand, also known as Dongfeng Fengxing, and it was the first product of the brand. At launch it was essentially a rebadged fourth-generation Mitsubishi Delica, or Delica Space Gear, a platform Dongfeng Liuzhou acquired from China Motor Corporation, the Taiwanese partner of Mitsubishi Motors. When Taiwan stopped building the Space Gear, Dongfeng Liuzhou carried on production in China and made its own facelifts. After the facelift three trims were sold at different prices, the premium M5 at 77,900 to 98,900 yuan, the basic passenger M3 at 55,900 to 71,900 yuan and the sealed-body cargo V3 at 55,900 to 66,900 yuan, each with a long-wheelbase L version. A further facelift in 2020 gave a new bumper and grille, a 1.6-litre petrol engine with a five-speed manual and a new 2.0-litre engine making 122 hp with a six-speed manual.
