DFSK Fengon 5: compact coupe-style crossover
DFSK Fengon 5 (F5) — Dongfeng Sokon's compact crossover with a coupe-style roofline, sold in Europe since 2020. In this article, we'll look at its engine, trims, and what to know before buying.
Fengon 5 in brief
The Fengon 5 is the export version of the Fengon iX5, sold in Europe as the DFSK F5. It stands out with its coupe-style roofline and modern design.
First European exports began in May 2020 in Spain and Germany. The car is rare in Lithuania.
Which version to choose
In Europe, one main engine is offered, so the choice mainly comes down to the trim level and whether the car has LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) equipment.
The LPG version can reduce fuel costs, but before buying, check the quality of the system's installation and documentation.
Engine and tech
The European version comes with a Mitsubishi-derived 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, compliant with Euro 6D-Temp and delivering around 137 hp. The transmission is a CVT (continuously variable transmission), driving the front wheels.
Some versions also come with a dual-fuel system with LPG equipment. The Chinese version offers a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated engine, but this is rarely found in Europe.
What to check when buying a Fengon 5
Check the operation of the engine and CVT transmission, cooling system, and electronics. If the car has LPG equipment, ensure it is certified and well-maintained.
