In today’s increasingly competitive new energy vehicle market, the selection criteria for family SUVs have evolved from “good enough” to “all-round excellence.” The arrival of the Dongfeng Fengshen L8 2025 perfectly meets family users’ growing demands for design, space, comfort, and performance. Built around the concept of “Electro-Inspired Aesthetics,” this compact SUV not only stands out visually but also delivers an almost perfect score in real-world usability. Today, let’s take a comprehensive look at this new energy vehicle that truly lives up to the expectations of the whole family.

 

Front Design

As the vehicle’s “face,” the front design of the Dongfeng Fengshen L8 2025 appeals to drivers of all ages. It adopts a brand-new “Electro-Inspired Aesthetics” design language. The closed grille, a signature element of new energy vehicles, is decorated with delicate dot-matrix textures that resemble scattered starlight. This design aligns perfectly with the eco-friendly nature of new energy vehicles while avoiding overly aggressive styling, giving it a calm and refined presence ideal for family use.
 

The full-width LED light strip is the visual highlight of the front fascia. Composed of multiple pixel-style LED units, it features dynamic welcome lighting effects that make every unlock moment feel special. As you approach the vehicle, the lights gradually illuminate from the center outward, delivering a strong sense of ceremony without being overdone. The split headlight design seamlessly balances aesthetics and functionality: the daytime running lights integrate naturally into the grille sides, while the high and low beams are hidden within vertical air ducts. This unique structure provides superior light penetration during heavy rain at night, ensuring clear visibility and enhanced safety even in poor conditions.
 

Below, the trapezoidal blacked-out lower grille paired with a silver skid plate enhances the front-end depth. Without unnecessary embellishments, the design perfectly blends the stability required for family use with the technological appeal of a new energy vehicle, making it equally impressive in residential parking lots or office garages.

 

Side Profile

If the front defines the first impression, the side profile reveals the vehicle’s lasting appeal. Although positioned as a compact SUV, the Dongfeng Fengshen L8 2025 features carefully optimized proportions that give it the stance of a midsize SUV, eliminating any sense of cramped compactness.
 

A continuous character line runs from the front wheel arch to the taillights, resembling a flowing ribbon. Combined with a floating roof design and silver window trim, it visually widens the body while enhancing overall refinement. The semi-hidden electric door handles are a standout detail. Their smooth, damped pop-out action reduces aerodynamic drag, improves fuel efficiency at high speeds, and prevents dust accumulation—especially practical in snowy northern regions or rainy southern climates.
 

The dimensions are one of the vehicle’s strongest advantages: 4762mm × 1910mm × 1677mm, with an impressive 2825mm wheelbase, making it a space leader among compact SUVs. Rear passengers can comfortably cross their legs, and even with a child safety seat installed, there is still ample room for an adult to sit beside it. The thoughtfully selected 19-inch multi-spoke wheels balance urban grip and high-speed quietness, with excellent control over road noise.
 

The recessed side skirts and fastback-style C-pillar add a subtle sporty touch to the otherwise stable silhouette. It feels composed during family trips yet offers a hint of dynamism when driving solo, perfectly adapting to various scenarios.

 

Rear Design

The rear design echoes the front, creating strong visual cohesion. The smoked full-width taillights also feature pixel-style lighting elements, mirroring the front headlights and offering multiple dynamic lighting modes. During braking, the lights are bright and highly recognizable, allowing following vehicles to react quickly and reducing the risk of rear-end collisions at night.
 

The dual-peak rear spoiler and slanted rear window further enhance the sporty character while improving aerodynamic efficiency at highway speeds. The rear bumper adopts a dual-layer design, and the hidden exhaust layout aligns with the vehicle’s new energy identity—low-key yet refined. The recessed license plate area adds depth and highlights attention to detail.
 

For family users, the standard electric tailgate is an absolute necessity. Even more thoughtful is the hands-free kick sensor function—whether you’re carrying a stroller, grocery bags, or multiple items, a simple foot motion opens the tailgate, freeing your hands entirely. The integrated high-mounted brake light and rear wiper not only create a cleaner rear appearance but also help reduce drag, contributing to better energy efficiency.

 

Interior

Opening the solid doors reveals an interior that goes beyond simply “stacking features.” Instead, it delivers a true fusion of technology and luxury, creating an immersive cabin experience. The Dongfeng Fengshen L8 2025 follows a “technology-focused, people-oriented” design philosophy, with every detail centered on user experience.
 

The wraparound dashboard is well-layered, enveloping occupants in a warm, cockpit-like environment. Extensive use of soft-touch materials offers a premium feel with no cheap plastics. The stitching craftsmanship is remarkably precise for this segment, while metallic accents and piano-black panels are applied tastefully, enhancing the cabin’s upscale atmosphere without feeling excessive. The overall ambiance is warm and refined, making it comfortable for both elderly passengers and children.
 

In terms of features, the vehicle delivers outstanding value. From safety to comfort and entertainment, it covers nearly every family travel need. The L2-level driver assistance system reduces fatigue during long trips by maintaining lane position and adaptive following distance at highway speeds. The digital rearview mirror eliminates blind spots common in traditional mirrors, providing clear visibility even in rain or at night. The 540-degree panoramic camera system makes parking effortless, even for new drivers.
 

Comfort and entertainment features are equally impressive. The 15.6-inch 2.5K rear-mounted ceiling screen offers sharp visuals that are easy on the eyes for children watching cartoons or elderly passengers enjoying TV shows. The 19-speaker WANOS panoramic sound system delivers rich, immersive audio, transforming the cabin into a mobile concert hall. The segmented panoramic sunroof lets sunlight flood the interior by day and creates a stargazing experience at night. Rear-seat cooling and warming storage, fold-out tables, ventilated/heated/massage driver’s seat, and an in-car fragrance system all elevate every drive into a relaxing journey.

 

Seats

For family travel, seat comfort directly impacts overall happiness, and the Dongfeng Fengshen L8 2025’s “Cloud-Soft Sofa” seats are a key highlight. Engineers conducted thousands of adjustments to achieve the perfect balance between softness and support—plush yet never saggy.
 

Unlike overly soft seats that cause fatigue or overly firm ones that feel uncomfortable, these seats strike the ideal middle ground. The surface material is baby-grade PVC, offering a soft, skin-friendly touch while being environmentally safe and odor-free. Families with young children can rest assured, as the material is gentle even with constant contact.
 

Six comfort-focused innovations further refine the experience. The extended seat cushions fully support adult thighs, reducing pressure and fatigue. Dual lumbar airbags provide adjustable support for different body types, ensuring proper spinal alignment. Combined with ergonomic design, passengers can sit comfortably for four to five hours without feeling sore, making these seats comparable to premium lounge seating.

 

Powertrain & Performance

As a family-oriented new energy SUV, balancing performance and efficiency is crucial, and the Dongfeng Fengshen L8 PHEV excels in this regard. It features a 4-speed Mach hybrid system paired with a 1.5T turbocharged engine as standard. The system delivers a combined maximum output of 265 kW and a peak torque of 615 Nm, providing ample power reserves.
 

The hybrid-specific 1.5T engine boasts an impressive 45.18% thermal efficiency, placing it among the industry leaders. Working seamlessly with the 4-speed DHT transmission, it achieves optimal oil-electric synergy: electric-only starts are quiet and smooth; rapid acceleration engages both power sources for confident overtaking; and during highway cruising, the engine operates in its most efficient range, maximizing fuel savings.
 

The driving experience is equally refined. The suspension setup—MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link independent rear—combined with soft-bushed components, delivers excellent vibration absorption. Speed bumps are handled with minimal body movement, and small road imperfections are effectively filtered out, allowing rear-seat passengers, especially children, to rest undisturbed. NVH performance is outstanding, with double-layer acoustic glass in the front effectively isolating external noise, keeping the cabin quiet even at high speeds.
 

Energy consumption and range, key concerns for family users, are equally impressive. Real-world combined fuel consumption is just 2.4L/100km, offering significant savings compared to traditional gasoline vehicles. The 248 km pure electric range easily covers daily commuting, requiring only weekly charging. The 2,245 km combined range eliminates long-distance travel anxiety, making cross-province road trips hassle-free without frequent refueling stops.
 

The external power discharge function is another family-friendly highlight. During camping trips, the vehicle serves as a mobile power station, supporting appliances such as induction cookers, projectors, and coffee machines. Whether enjoying hot pot, outdoor movies, or freshly brewed coffee, this feature greatly expands family leisure possibilities and turns every outing into a memorable gathering.
 

From its refined exterior design to its luxurious and comfortable interior, from class-leading space to an efficient and reliable powertrain, the Dongfeng Fengshen L8 2025 precisely addresses the needs of modern families. If you’re interested in this model, feel free to contact us anytime.
