Overview

edit

The Aeolus AX5 CUV debuted during the 2016 Beijing Auto Show[2] with the AX5 being available to the market in late 2016[3] at the Guangzhou Auto Show.[1] The AX5 is powered by a 1.4 liter turbo inline-four engine producing 140 horsepower (103kW) and 196 N-m.[4] Prices range from 89,700 yuan to 128,700 yuan.[5]

2019 facelift

edit

The AX5 received a facelift in 2019 and was revealed during the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. The facelifted AX5 model features a front fascia similar to the Dongfeng Fengdu MX3 crossover from the same platform that never made it to the market.

The facelifted AX5 is equipped with a DFMA14T 1.4 liter turbo engine producing 133 horsepower which is 7 horsepower less than the pre facelift model. The engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed DCT.[6]
