Forthing T5

The Forthing T5 is a compact crossover SUV from Forthing, originally the Dongfeng Fengxing sub-brand, with a seven-seat mid-size variant called the T5L offered from the 2019 model year. It debuted as a prototype at the 2018 Beijing Auto Show in April 2018, with the production car meeting China's National Standard V emissions rules available from the third quarter of 2018, and it was the car that carried the new English brand name Forthing on its tailgate. Its first engine was a 1.6-litre turbo making 204 hp, and a facelift shown at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show with a Renault-like front brought a 1.5-litre turbo petrol and a 1.6-litre turbo diesel for National Standard VI. The T5L, first shown as the Fengxing T7 at the 2018 Chengdu Auto Show, went on sale on 30 March 2019 in a 2+3+2 layout, and a Mach Edition update followed in September 2022 with a 190 hp 1.5-litre turbo and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
