Dongfeng Fengdu MX3

The Dongfeng Fengdu MX3 is a compact crossover SUV produced by Dongfeng Motor Corporation under the Dongfeng Fengdu sub-brand. It debuted at the 2017 Auto Shanghai with a stated market launch in June 2017 at prices of 55,000 to 65,000 yuan, and it was effectively an Aeolus AX5 with restyled front and rear sections. It was to be equipped with a 122 horsepower 1.6 litre naturally aspirated engine or a 122 horsepower 1.4 litre turbocharged engine, paired with a five-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it has a top speed of 170 km/h. The MX3 never entered production because Dongfeng went through a brand streamlining after poor sales, and its restyled body panels were instead used in the mid-cycle refresh of the Aeolus AX5.
