In recent years, with the launch of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV and achieved enviable sales results, other car companies have also followed up synchronously, punk Meimei, Chery QQ ice cream and other entry-level products have entered the game, while competing with the Wuling brand in many aspects of Dongfeng Xiaokang is not far behind, and immediately created a corresponding model.
Recently, Dongfeng Fengguang MINIEV was officially launched, and the new car was launched with a total of 3 configurations, with a price range of 28,600 to 41,600 yuan. The new car provides a total of 120 km and 180 km of endurance version, the high endurance version compared to the Hongguang MINIEV is 10 km more, indeed has a certain degree of competitiveness, let's understand its specific performance in the end.
Exterior design
In terms of design, the scenery MINIEV is very flexible and compact like the Hongguang MINIEV, which matches its own positioning. Among them, the front face of the new car uses more gritty lines to outline, so its appearance is a tougher faction in this category. The left and right side headlights are sharply angled, and the middle is equipped with bright black trim panels, extending the transverse visual effect of the front face, while the bottom is equipped with a certain echo, and the far view is like a smiling mouth.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the new model are 2995×1495×1640 mm, and the wheelbase is 1960mm, which is a certain leader compared with the Hongguang MINIEV. The body side of the new model is square, the design of the exterior mirrors is more stylish, the high-brightness black color matching and the appearance form a good contrast color match, and the high-end version of the model also has the electric adjustment function of the exterior mirror. In addition, the new car is equipped with 12-inch electric vehicle-specific tires underneath, which are characterized by low rolling resistance and low noise.
The tail design of the scenery MINIEV is very distinctive, in which the tail light group shape of the new car has a certain echo with the headlights, and the edge is also equipped with black guard plate decoration, and the guard plate extends all the way to the side triangle window, and the edge is connected with the line under the door, which increases the integrity of the body design. The black decorative strip is also used in the bottom license plate area, and from these small details, it also shows the careful thinking of dongfeng designers.
Interior design
In terms of interior design, the scenery MINIEV also continues the consistent simple style of this type of model, whether it is the shape or the materials are similar to the Hongguang MINIEV. Among them, the steering wheel directly in front of the new owner is a double-frame design, and the high-end version of the model is also equipped with multi-function buttons, which can control screen information and cruise control and other practical functions. The size of the dashboard is relatively small, but the internal functions are very comprehensive, can display battery life, power consumption, speed, gear, power surplus, etc., in addition, the car's central control area is relatively simple, with air conditioning and radio buttons or knobs.
The interior seats of the new car are uniformly wrapped in fabric fabric, and only manual adjustment is supported in terms of function. The one-piece seats in the front of the new car do not have many highlights, and the back of the seat has been added with different colors of decoration, and in order to maximize the space in the car, the cushions and backrests are relatively thin, and the riding experience is still reasonable.
The rear seats of the new car maintain the same level as the front row in terms of material use and workmanship, and the rear seat height is low, and the comfort of long-term riding is average, which is also a common disadvantage of this type of model. Folding the front seats allows access to the rear seats, leaving little legroom when riding, and can only be used as an emergency.

The WIND MINIEV is powered by a drive motor with a maximum output of 25 kW and a peak torque of 100 Nm. Depending on the configuration, the capacity of the battery pack is 9.18 kWh and 13.8 kWh, respectively, corresponding to a range of 120 km and 180 km.

Uncle Che summed up
In general, the scenery MINIEV itself has the agility and personality of A00-level products, while the interior space performance is good, and it is very innovative in terms of color matching. Among the three configurations launched by the new car this time, the 2022 model that belongs to the top of the car Deluxe has a relatively complete functional configuration and excellent endurance performance, which can better meet the needs of consumers' cars, and the vehicle product strength and cost performance are higher. Judging from the brand's current product matrix, Fengli MINIEV belongs to the entry-level products, and its addition has further reduced the overall price level of the Fengli series. In the view of Uncle Che, the car has certain advantages in power and endurance compared to the Hongguang MINIEV, which has become the A00-level overlord at present, but as a new product, its similarity with the Hongguang MINIEV is indeed too high, its own lack of highlights, it is really difficult to remember, as for whether it can finally break through successfully, but also depends on the future market performance.
