A Report Card for the Start of the 15th Five-Year Plan! Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Launches Multiple Models at Autumn Conference, Opening a New Chapter in Global Commercial and Passenger Vehicle Development

　　On September 19, the Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor 2026 Autumn New Product Launch, themed "Chenglong Accompanies Xinghai, Together Toward a New Future," was held at the Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Test Center in Liuzhou, Guangxi. By choosing to hold the launch at the test center that every product must pass through before going to market, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor intended to convey its confidence in quality "from the road of validation to the user." At the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan year, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor once again delivered a heavyweight report card in less than half a year: the Forthing Xinghai V6, the Lingzhi family, the Chenglong Yiwei 5 Super Energy Edition, the Ultra-Light Edition 3.0, the Chenglong H5 PRO, five overseas new products, and an all-new right-hand-drive platform were launched in quick succession. The comprehensive push across the three major segments of commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, and overseas markets marks that Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor's strategy of "developing both commercial and passenger vehicles and pursuing dual-wheel drive" has entered a new stage of accelerated implementation.

Growth against the trend: Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor turned the blueprint into real results.

　　From January to August this year, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor achieved cumulative sales of 89,439 units, a year-on-year increase of 26%, with the three major segments of commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, and overseas markets all moving upward and outperforming the broader industry trend.

　　Lin Changbo, General Manager of Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd., said in his speech that in the face of the triple transformation of NEW ENERGY shifting from "policy-driven" to "market-driven," intelligentization moving from "high-end optional" to "mass-market standard," and globalization moving from "product export" to "ecosystem going global," Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor does not chase short-term scale, but instead concentrates resources on the "one more, three modernizations" of commercial vehicles and the "one new, three ultimate" of passenger vehicles.

　　Strategic focus must ultimately land on user value. Lin Changbo summed up Liuzhou Motor's commitment to users in three sentences: make users' cars easier to drive, building intelligence, safety, and quality into every family vehicle; make users' cars more profitable, building attendance rates and operating ledgers into every commercial vehicle; and make users' cars better understand life, building scenarios and customization into every journey.

The Forthing Xinghai V6 officially goes on sale, with Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving entering the sub-100,000 yuan range for the first time.

　　As the passenger vehicle highlight of this launch event, the Forthing Xinghai V6 was officially launched. Positioned as a "smart, accessible large six-seat vehicle," the new model is equipped with Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS SE Edition and is offered in three configurations, with a super trade-in price as low as 99,900 yuan during the launch period--meaning Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving has entered the sub-100,000 yuan price range for the first time. The Xinghai V6 also launched a "Smart Driving for All Gift," where a 666 yuan deposit unlocks six major car-purchase benefits.

　　Chen Zhengyu, Marketing Director of Dongfeng Forthing Family MPV, said during the launch that the development of the Xinghai V6 stemmed from deep insight into the real pain points of family users. Since nationwide regional pre-sales began on August 8, the Xinghai V6 has won widespread attention from family users with its flexible four-or-six-seat large space and Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving.

　　Centering on the four "homes" of "smart, spacious, comfortable, and safe," the Xinghai V6 responds to Chinese families' diverse mobility expectations with product strength featuring 14 class-leading exclusives and 17 class-leading advantages. The new model is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip and a 15.6-inch 2.5K HD large screen, supporting urban LCC+, highway NCA, and more than 100 parking scenarios; a 2900mm ultra-long wheelbase, with the third row featuring hidden sunken storage, allowing free switching between a large four-seat and a large six-seat layout; high-strength steel accounts for 76% of the entire vehicle, and it jointly completed four extreme electrical safety challenges with CATARC.

　　At the launch event, Dongfeng Forthing also revealed that the Xinghai V6 will launch an Explorer Edition camper in the future, allowing more families to own a mobile home that can head into the mountains and fields.

The Lingzhi family fully renewed across all dimensions, with 1.18 million users over 25 years embarking on a new journey of wealth creation.

　　The Lingzhi brand, which serves as the foundation of Dongfeng Forthing's MPV business, also underwent a full-dimensional family renewal at this launch event. Qin Changwen, Marketing Director of Dongfeng Forthing Commercial MPV, reviewed Lingzhi's 25-year development journey: from launching China's first independently developed business vehicle in 2001 to launching a 90,000-yuan-class NEW ENERGY business vehicle with 420 km range in 2025, Lingzhi has undergone five product innovations and five rounds of business vehicle popularization, earning the trust of 1.18 million users cumulatively.

　　At the launch event, three new vehicles--the Mini Lingzhi, the Lingzhi Big V, and the 2027 Lingzhi--appeared on the same stage, building the Lingzhi family product matrix of "full size, full powertrain, full scenario." The Mini Lingzhi is positioned as "the choice for both business and family," with dual sliding doors standard across the lineup; the Lingzhi Big V is positioned as "the choice for urban distribution logistics," featuring a cargo box of more than 8 cubic meters, equipped with CATL batteries, and a CLTC range of up to 475 km; the 2027 Lingzhi is positioned as "the classic choice for wealth creation," offering multiple seating layouts from 5 to 9 seats and supporting gasoline, gas, and electricity to adapt to energy environments in different regions.

　　Qin Changwen announced that the Mini Lingzhi and Lingzhi Big V will begin pre-sales by the end of the year, and the 2027 Lingzhi will be officially launched next year. The Lingzhi family also launched a "Wealth Creation Renewal Gift": purchasing a Lingzhi NEW ENERGY vehicle offers a trade-in subsidy of up to 30,000 yuan, with a limited-time price starting at 79,800 yuan; from now until October 31, purchasing any model currently on sale in the Lingzhi family enters buyers into a 100% winning car-purchase lottery, with prizes up to 8,888 yuan.

Three new Chenglong products launched together, with a full product matrix supporting logistics and wealth creation.

　　The commercial vehicle segment was equally full of highlights. Yin Dongjun, Deputy General Manager of Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Commercial Vehicle Sales Company, launched three new products: the Chenglong Yiwei 5 Super Energy Edition, the Chenglong Yiwei 5 Ultra-Light Edition 3.0, and the Chenglong H5 PRO, covering three major series: NEW ENERGY tractors, ultra-lightweight tractors, and new-platform cargo trucks.

　　The Chenglong Yiwei 5 Super Energy Edition is built on Dongfeng Group's T1 architecture platform and is the first mass-produced model on that platform. The vehicle's own weight is only 8.8 tons, comprehensive power consumption is as low as 1 kWh per kilometer, and it supports megawatt-level ultra-fast charging, taking only 20 minutes to go from 20% to 80% SOC. The cab adopts Chenglong's third-generation keel frame, and the battery uses nano flame-retardant technology, with safety control standards far exceeding national standards.

　　For the Chenglong Yiwei 5 Ultra-Light Edition 3.0 series, each battery-capacity version is more than 700 kilograms lighter than competitors, which can increase users' income by 27,000 to 37,000 yuan per year. Yin Dongjun also revealed the technology roadmap for the ultra-light editions: Ultra-Light Edition 3.0 has already achieved gas-electricity equal weight, Ultra-Light Edition 4.0 will achieve oil-electricity equal weight, and Ultra-Light Edition 5.0 will make electricity lighter than oil.

　　The Chenglong H5 Pro is positioned as a "wealth-creation pioneer born for efficient logistics," with chassis curb weight as low as 5.18 tons, leading comparable models in the industry by 200 kilograms; it is equipped with a Yuchai 390-horsepower engine and saves 1.5L per 100 km under the same operating conditions compared with competitors. The new model adopts a passenger-vehicle-style cockpit concept and is equipped with LED blacked-out "dragon-eye" headlights, one-button start, and other features, allowing truck drivers to "drive well, drive comfortably, and drive safely."

　　At the launch event, Chenglong also launched an "Worry-Free Operations Gift": a 678 yuan deposit enjoys exclusive value-added benefits; deposit users can participate in a lucky draw for a 6,000 yuan wealth-creation fund; and orders whose sequence numbers end in 6, 7, 8, or 67 can receive customized gifts.

Four overseas new products + all-new right-hand-drive platform debut, moving from product output to platform output.

　　The overseas segment was an important highlight of this launch event. Wang Wenyong, Assistant to the General Manager of Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor, launched four overseas new products--the FORTHING X5E, FORTHING V6E, CHENGLONG H5 PRO LNG, and CHENGLONG H5V Range-Extended Edition--as well as the all-new CHENGLONG right-hand-drive platform.

　　The FORTHING X5E is positioned as "built for the global new generation," equipped with an 800V high-voltage fast-charging platform, with the entire lineup having passed WVTA EU whole-vehicle certification, covering both BEV and PHEV powertrain versions. The FORTHING V6E is positioned as "born for global families," offering flexible 5-8 seat layouts and equipped with a 6.6 kW external discharge function.

　　The CHENGLONG H5 PRO LNG is specially developed for LNG-rich regions such as Central Asia, Latin America, and Africa, with comprehensive gas consumption reaching an industry-leading level. The CHENGLONG H5V Range-Extended Edition adopts the design approach of "large battery, small range extender, oil or electricity capable," with a combined range of more than 1,000 kilometers on a full tank and full charge, providing a realistic and feasible NEW ENERGY commercial vehicle solution for markets with weak charging infrastructure. The release of the all-new CHENGLONG right-hand-drive platform marks Liuzhou Motor's transition from product output to platform output in right-hand-drive markets, with the platform fully covering the four major energy routes of fuel, natural gas, pure electric, and range-extended.

　　Wang Wenyong also reviewed the four major leap-forward achievements since the release of the "Riding the Wind with Dual Engines" overseas strategy: in terms of product upgrading, the CHENGLONG hydrogen truck equipped with the group's T1 platform completed its global debut at the Hannover Motor Show on September 14; in terms of localization, overseas KD factories have reached 9; in terms of channels, 40 new overseas dealers and 30 service outlets were added; and in terms of service, the average global user service radius was shortened from 120 kilometers to 103 kilometers. At present, CHENGLONG heavy trucks rank firmly in the first tier in Vietnam's road logistics market share, FORTHING has entered markets such as Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines, and the Egypt KD factory has been fully put into production.

From "Wings Opening a New Journey" to "Together Toward a New Future," Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor accelerates toward the 15th Five-Year Plan.

　　At the launch event site, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor employees and user representatives also performed the chorus "Good Wind Rises," conveying with stirring melody the brand spirit of developing both commercial and passenger vehicles and forging ahead. During the event, 96 exhibits were displayed in a concentrated manner. After the launch event ended, guests visited the factory to experience Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor's intelligent manufacturing strength up close.

　　From "Wings Opening a New Journey" on the 67 Brand Day to today's "Together Toward a New Future," the pace is getting faster, while the commitment remains unchanged. With new vehicles across all product lines at home and abroad plus the right-hand-drive platform appearing in quick succession, Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor completed the key leap from strategic determination to product implementation in less than four months. Chenglong and Xinghai walk side by side, jointly supporting the beautiful mobility of tens of millions of families and the wealth-creation dreams of countless entrepreneurs. Facing the 15th Five-Year Plan, the "725" goal lies ahead. A Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor that develops both commercial and passenger vehicles and has a global layout is now, together with global partners and every user, riding Chenglong with Xinghai toward a new future.
