Editor's Comments:
The new car can be seen as a complement to the popular T5 EVO on sale, which overlaps with the price of the existing version on sale. The main feature of the new car is the use of a new paint color, more sporty atmosphere. At the same time, the popular T5 EVO heatwave version has also been jointly signed with the well-known national comic "Assassin Wu LiuQi's Xuanwu Guo season three", further cross-border into the contemporary young consumer group, and more emphasis on the youthful attributes of the product itself. These new marketing considerations will further help the transformation and upgrading of Dongfeng Fengxing's brand. (Wenche Vision Technology Li Liang)
