Dongfeng Fengnuo E300 EV


The Dongfeng Fengnuo E300 electric sedan debuted on the 2016 Beijing Auto Show. ‘Fengnuo’ is a sound translation of ‘Fluence’, which relates to theRenault Fluence, and more specifically to the electric Renault Fluence Z.E., where this E300 is based on. The front has been redesigned with a new bumper and grille, but they are otherwise the same.


The interior is exactly the same as in the Fluence Z.E. bar for the Dongfeng badge on the wheel.

The Fengnuo E300 is manufactured in China by the Dongfeng-Renault joint venture, but it will only be sold under the Dongfeng name. Power comes from an electric motor with 94 Hp and 226 Nm, mated to a 22kWh battery. 


Range is 185 kilometer which is very short even for Chinese standards, even relatively low-tech locally developed electric cars have a range of at least 200 kilometer these days, and usually more.
