At the main booth of Dongfeng, Yixuan, AX7 PRO and other new models are exhibiting strength never seen before. Among them, AX7 PRO has been newly released in China. Its sporty exterior gives a tough impression. It is one of the first Dongfeng models to bear the new track logo. The matrix full-LED headlights and full-LED penetrating signature taillights make AX7 PRO stand out with a strong sense of hi-tech. The 19-inch wind-breaking rims, coupled with Pirelli tires, are capable of coping with various complex road conditions.
Yixuan Track Edition, bearing the new track logo, carries forward the inherent sporty gene of Dongfeng Aeolus.
Yixuan Track Edition features a cool, striking appearance. The air-inlet grille, dynamic tail and fine-textured hubs, showing off the brand new track logo, cater to the demand of young consumers for aesthetics and manipulation. The designers have made bold attempts to liven up its interiors. The vision panels, seats and console, now of a bright red, are a perfect match to the multifunctional racing steering wheel, so much so that the driver can feel the passion on the track and blood boiling in the veins. More impressively, Yixuan Track Edition is complete with the Wind 5.0 artificial intelligence in-vehicle system, L2+ intelligent assisted driving system, 7 classes of voice-control functions and 12 remote control scenarios, ensuring a delightful riding and driving experience.
To better bring out the characteristics of its products, Dongfeng has set up a brainstorming Rubik’s cube, a China trend block and a CTCC racing simulator at the booth. The Aeolus Yixuan racing car, which has won numerous awards on the CTCC tracks, is also on display. Visitors, if they like, can pull on the racing jacket to get an immersive experience of Aeolus’s speed and technological strength.
