Standard features include the eπ Pilot advanced driving assistance system, 64-color ambient lights, wireless phone charging, voice AI assistant, and a premium sound system with 20 speakers.
The powertrain specifications remain the same as the six-seater version, with the EREV variant powered by a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender and an electric motor. The EV variant is equipped with a larger battery pack, offering an extended driving range.
In September, Dongfeng eπ brand sold 10,010 units, bringing total sales to 40,168 units since its launch earlier this year. The Dongfeng eπ 007 is another popular model from the brand.
