Overview

The CM7 debuted on the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show and was launched in the market later in the same year. The Fengxing CM7 is powered by a Mitsubishi 4G69 2.4 liter inline-4 engine producing 150hp mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. A variant will also be available with a 2.0 liter turbocharged diesel engine, mated to the same 5-speed manual gearbox.[1] The styling of the body was heavily inspired by the second generation Hyundai Starex with a front DRG design inspired by the second generation Toyota Alphard.[2]

Prices of the Dongfeng Fengxing CM7 ranges from 129,900 yuan to 173,900 yuan in China at launch.[3] Later in the market, the price range was adjusted to a range from 118,900 yuan to 229,900 yuan.[4]

As of October 2020, a variant based on the CM7 called the Forthing Lingzhi Plus was launched. Despite being named Lingzhi, the model is essentially a rebadged 7-seater CM7 and has nothing to do with the Dongfeng Fengxing Lingzhi series. The Forthing Lingzhi Plus is powered by a codenamed DFMB20AQA 2.0 liter naturally aspirated engine producing 133hp and 200 N·m mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.[5]
