In context
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Zhengzhou, Henan (Zhengzhou Nissan). Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the SEAT León, the Škoda Auto Škoda Fabia, the Toyota Yaris — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Dongfeng catalogue sit the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 and the Front Drive Motor.
