Dongfeng does not build many cars like the Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X3: a 5–door station wagon with 1.5 L 4A91 I4, built from 2014 to 2019 as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market.
The story
The Forthing Jingyi X3 is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor under the Jingyi product series of the Dongfeng Fengxing sub-brand.
What is underneath
Under the skin sits 1.5 L 4A91 I4. Kerb weight is 1350 kg. The gearbox is a 5 speed manual. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2685 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Dongfeng's history is not in doubt: it was built at Liuzhou, China. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Ferrari 488, the Infiniti Q50, the Chevrolet Camaro. Nearby in the Dongfeng catalogue sit the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 and the Front Drive Motor.
