If you need an SUV with over 200 kilometers of pure electric range, over 2,000 kilometers of total range, a turbocharged engine, and a four-speed hybrid drive, the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 2025 model is your only choice,” said Dongfeng Fengshen General Manager Deng Liuchao.
Since April 2024, the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 has undergone extensive real-world testing. This hybrid SUV boasts a pure electric range of 205 kilometers. It is the first hybrid SUV in China to exceed 2,000 kilometers in media tests. The L7 has traveled from Yunnan to Wuhan. It has crossed the vast Qiangtang region, China’s largest uninhabited area. It has measured the wind and sand of the Hexi Corridor. It has also braved temperatures as low as -20°C in Northeast China. Each test proves that every kilometer of the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 is true range. It continues to set new records for hybrid SUVs in China.
Before the launch of the 2025 Dongfeng Fengshen L7, Dongfeng Fengshen invited the authoritative China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC) to conduct a challenge in Hainan. They aimed to showcase the product’s strength with higher standards and stricter supervision. CATARC conducted tests on the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 PHEV. The vehicle achieved an impressive 354.5 km of pure electric range, surpassing the official figure of 205 km, with a completion rate of 172.9%. The comprehensive range reached 2239.6 km, with a completion rate of 149.3%. This feat included a trip from Haikou to Tianya Haijiao and 3.5 laps around Hainan on one tank of gas. Zhang Yan, an expert from CATARC who participated in the challenge, stated, “This test reflects real user scenarios. It covered urban, highway, and congested conditions. The actual performance impressed us. The official 205 km electric range exceeded 350 km in real-world conditions, giving a thumbs up to the Dongfeng Fengshen L7.”
On hybrid routes, the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 uses a “30.3-degree large battery + 55L small fuel tank” approach. It maximizes battery size while minimizing tank size to achieve long distances. This plug-in hybrid offers pure electric freedom. Actual tests show a pure electric consumption of just 9.36 kWh per 100 km. The combined fuel consumption drops to 2.45 L per 100 km. In pure electric mode, the cost is as low as 0.07 yuan (0$) per kilometer. In hybrid mode, it costs only 0.2 yuan (0$) per kilometer. It truly allows users to drive the best hybrid for the least money.
The Dongfeng Fengshen L7 features a Mach Electric 1.5T hybrid engine. It achieves a thermal efficiency of 45.18%, ranking among the industry’s best. The power system delivers a maximum output of 265 kW and a peak torque of 615 N·m. This 1.5T hybrid engine uses advanced technologies. It includes variable cross-section turbocharging, high-pressure four-time injection within 0.8 milliseconds, high exhaust recirculation rates, and ultra-lightweight engine pistons. Additionally, the exhaust turbine end efficiency improves by 78%, while the compressor end efficiency increases by 80%.
The world’s first 4-speed DHT hybrid E-CVT offers powerful performance and smooth control. The i-Control smart electric control system intelligently matches the best energy mode for various conditions, providing users with an exceptional driving experience. The Fengshen L7 features a 4-speed intelligent hybrid electric drive with seven energy management modes and 26 detailed working modes. The system achieves 93% efficiency and a 95% effective area utilization rate. It includes four fixed gears and two power distribution gears, balancing low-speed fuel consumption and smooth driving with low fuel consumption at high speeds and excellent power. Overall, it saves 9% more fuel compared to a single gear, 4% compared to two gears, and 2% compared to three gears. In real driving, engine engagement is nearly imperceptible, delivering very smooth power output with strong acceleration.
The large battery offers a pure electric range of no less than 200 kilometers. It consumes little energy and achieves an overall range exceeding 2000 kilometers. The powerful hybrid engine features a turbo. The vehicle has four electric drive gears for better performance. The Fengshen L7 includes a 30.3 kWh battery with lithium dendrite self-repair technology, allowing for 2000 system cycles. Its bottom armor withstands 1200 MPa. The honeycomb aluminum alloy frame resists 300 kN of pressure and can survive a 10-meter drop. Notably, the lithium dendrite self-repair technology is quite advanced. As battery charge cycles increase, lithium dendrites form inside the battery. These can short-circuit the positive and negative electrodes, generating excessive heat and causing thermal runaway. The self-repair technology slows dendrite growth, greatly enhancing battery life and safety. Additionally, Dongfeng Motor is developing solid-state batteries and 6C super-fast charging technology. In the future, a 10-minute charge will provide 80% battery capacity.
In the intelligent era, the entire industry competes in smart configurations. Dongfeng Fengshen believes that only practical intelligence appeals to users. Brand manager Deng Liuchao emphasizes, “Users want practical value, not gimmicks.” With 950 million “Hello Fengshen” activations, an 83.5% Bluetooth key usage rate, and high-frequency use of the ACC adaptive cruise control, data reveals what smart features users truly value. The upgraded Dongfeng Fengshen L7 2025 model features a smarter i-Talk intelligent cockpit. It responds quickly. Voice interaction feels like chatting with a friend. Users can speak freely. The cockpit meets entertainment needs with a 14.6-inch HD central control screen and high-fidelity sound tuned by the Golden Ear team, perfect for music and gaming. If intelligence adds value, safety is the top priority. Dongfeng Fengshen applies cutting-edge technology in the 360-Box intelligent driving assistance system. It offers up to 28 safety features to protect drivers. For battery safety, the Fengshen L7 uses 1200Mpa military-grade battery armor. It endures extreme tests across land, sea, and air. Even when hit by bullets, soaked in seawater, or dropped from heights, it remains safe without fire or explosion, ensuring comprehensive user safety.
The launch of the Dongfeng Fengshen L7 2025 marks a product upgrade. It also declares a revolution in hybrid technology standards. In a competitive new energy market, this SUV offers high value. It promises real range, uncompromised technology, and fair pricing. Consumers can now order the only hybrid SUV in the 100,000 yuan (13710$) market that exceeds 205 kilometers of pure electric range. Unlock a long-lasting journey!
