Price of the Fengshen AX7 will start around 120.000 yuan and and around 160.000 yuan. The Fengshen AX7 is based on the Nissan Qashqai that is made in China by the Dongfeng-Nissan joint venture. Power comes from a Nissan 2.0 with 143hp and 189nm, mated to a 5-speed manual or a CVT. Dongfeng is also working on a new 1.6 turbo four-cylinder petrol but that engine won’t be available at launch.
