Dongfeng A9

The Dongfeng A9 is a full-size executive sedan that Dongfeng Motor Corporation produced from 2016 to 2019 under its Dongfeng Passenger Vehicle sub-brand and assembled in Wuhan with Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroen. A concept called the Dongfeng Number 1 previewed it at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show, and the production car debuted at the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show, planned for April 2016 but postponed to July 2016 at 177,900 to 219,700 yuan, far above the 89,700 yuan of the Fengshen L60. It is built on the PSA EMP2 platform that also underpins the China-only Citroen C6, which has the same body, engine and dimensions apart from a digital instrument panel. Power came from a 1.8-litre THP turbo petrol engine with 200 horsepower and 280 newton metres through a six-speed automatic, and reviewers praised its Nappa leather and real-wood interior.
