Aeolus AX5

The Aeolus AX5 is a compact crossover SUV built by Dongfeng Motor Corporation under its Aeolus sub-brand. It debuted at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show and reached the market in late 2016, when it was shown at the Guangzhou Auto Show. It is powered by a 1.4 litre turbocharged inline-four engine producing 140 horsepower and 196 newton metres, with prices from 89,700 to 128,700 yuan. A facelift revealed at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show gave the car a front end similar to the Dongfeng Fengdu MX3 crossover, which shares its platform but never reached the market. The facelifted AX5 uses the DFMA14T 1.4 litre turbo engine making 133 horsepower, seven less than before, with a five-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
