The Dongfeng Succe is a 5-door minivan from Dongfeng, built from 2007 to 2020, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. Under the bonnet: 1.5&nbsp.

How it came about

The Dongfeng Succe (帅客) or Dongfeng Yumsun is a compact MPV produced by Zhengzhou Nissan Automobile, a subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd.

The hardware

Power comes from 1.5  other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through 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 2695 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Family and rivals

Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Zhengzhou, Henan (Zhengzhou Nissan), China. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Nissan GT-R, the Volkswagen Tiguan, the Hyundai i30 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Dongfeng stablemates include the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 and the Front Drive Motor.
