Dongfeng to launch two new sedan models in H1

Dongfeng Motor Corp, the third largest automaker in China, plans to launch two sedan models under its own brand in the first half of this year, sources reported.

The two models, namely EQ7240 and DFM7160, were developed by Dongfeng's 51%-controlled joint venture in Shandong and its own engineers based in the central China city of Wuhan, respectively.

EQ7240 is a sporty sedan with a 2.4L gasoline engine, while DFM7160 is a 1.6L gasoline sedan.

It is reported that Dongfeng will debut the two models at the Shanghai Auto Fair in April.

The new sedan models are expected to further complement the company's passenger vehicle production line.
