Aeolus AX7

The Aeolus AX7, first sold as the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7, is a compact crossover SUV that Dongfeng built under its Aeolus sub-brand from 2014 to 2025. The first generation debuted at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show and reached the market in October 2014 at 115,700 to 149,700 yuan, with a 2.0-litre or 2.3-litre inline-four petrol engine and a five- or six-speed gearbox, or a CVT on the smaller one; a facelift followed in 2018. The same platform carried the Dongfeng Fengdu MX5 shown at the 2016 Chengdu Auto Show. A second generation was revealed in August 2018 and sold from September that year at 89,800 to 131,800 yuan, powered by a 1.6-litre turbo petrol four of 167 hp with an Aisin six-speed automatic, and it became the AX7 Pro in the 2021 model year, wearing the Aeolus badge rather than the Dongfeng logo, and the AX7 Plus or Mach Edition for 2022.
