Aeolus S30

The Aeolus S30, earlier sold as the Dongfeng Fengshen S30, is a compact sedan that Dongfeng Motor Corporation built under its Aeolus (Dongfeng Fengshen) sub-brand from 2009 to 2017. It was the first car of the Fengshen brand, which was created to sell passenger sedans and crossovers for the Dongfeng group. It debuted in April 2009 and production of the sedan began in July 2009 at the Wuhan plant. Development drew on technology from the French group PSA: the S30 used the platform of the Citroën ZX, known in China as the Fukang, with its own body and a more modern interior, front-wheel drive and a 105 horsepower 1.6 litre PSA four-cylinder TU5 engine. Italdesign was engaged for the styling and engineering. A facelift followed in March 2013, a hatchback version was sold as the Aeolus H30, and a plug-in hybrid concept shown in 2016 never reached production.
