The second car coming is the production version of the Fengshen L60 that debuted as a concept on the 2014 Beijing Auto Show. The sharp looking sporty sedan will be positioned above the new Fengshen A30. The L60 will be powered by a 1.5 turbocharged four-cylinder with about 150 hp. The L60 will be launched late next year.

Third and fourth are two new compact SUV’s. They will be called the Fengshen AX3 and Fengshen AX5. They will be positioned under the new Fengshen AX7 SUV. The AX3 will get 1.3 and 1.5 liter four-cylinder engines, and the AX5 the same 1.5 turbo as the L60. The AX5 is expected to hit the market in 2016 and the AX3 will follow in 2017.
