Aeolus AX3

The Aeolus AX3 is a subcompact crossover SUV built by Dongfeng Motor Corporation under its Aeolus (Dongfeng Fengshen) sub-brand. It was unveiled at the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show and reached the market in January 2016 with prices from 69,700 to 87,700 yuan. It is powered either by a 1.5 litre engine making 116 horsepower, paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic gearbox, or by a 1.4 litre turbo engine making 140 horsepower, available with the five-speed manual gearbox. The same platform also underpins the Dongfeng Fengshen A30 subcompact sedan, so the AX3 and the A30 are closely related cars within the brand small vehicle range.
