On October 23, the automotive industry welcomed a highly competitive heavyweight contender. The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+, positioned around the core concept of "dual flagship for smart driving and comfort," was officially launched, with a limited-time launch trade-in price of only 129,900 yuan to 159,900 yuan, delivering an unprecedented impact on the currently fiercely competitive 150,000-yuan-class family SUV market and offering consumers who value technological experience and travel quality a brand-new choice.
The most convincing segment of the launch event was undoubtedly the extreme smart driving challenge witnessed by CCTV. The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ achieved zero takeovers throughout the entire process, directly challenging the 108 turns of Mount Everest at an average altitude of up to 5,000 meters with the Tianyuan Smart Driving T800 system. Along the continuous mountain road stretching for dozens of kilometers, the vehicle successively handled a series of industry-recognized extreme smart driving tests, including precise recognition on unmarked road sections, parking on the side of a cliff, suddenly blocked roads by grazing cattle and sheep, turbulence on unpaved washboard roads, and passing trucks on narrow road sections, maintaining smooth and stable operation throughout. In the extreme natural environment of high cold and low oxygen, the vehicle still operated stably and successfully completed the entire challenge, interpreting the top-level strength of China's intelligent manufacturing with solid and hardcore performance, and proving that this car is by no means a marketing gimmick at the launch event, but a hardcore model with real combat capability.
The confidence to face extreme challenges head-on stems from the Tianyuan Smart Driving T800 system, which is debuted on the Dongfeng Fengshen L8+. This system integrates three trump-card foundations: 700TOPS ultra-high computing power, the Momenta R7 world model, and the industry's first smart driving whole-vehicle calibration, and with generational leading technological advantages, it successfully completes the "technological charge" of the 150,000-yuan-class family SUV, becoming the unique intelligent travel benchmark in the same price range.
Dongfeng Group has empowered the Fengshen brand with its core smart driving technology. The Tianyuan Smart Driving T800 has ultra-high-performance computing power of 700TOPS, leading all models in the same price range by a generation. The system deeply integrates the Momenta R7 world model and, for the first time, connects the four core domains of smart driving, power, chassis, and smart cockpit. Combined with the industry's first smart driving whole-vehicle calibration technology, it brings the intelligent driving experience to the ultimate level in the 150,000-yuan-class market, leading in both hardware configuration and algorithm capability.
At the hardware configuration level, the Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ directly adopts the NVIDIA Thor-U 700TOPS computing power chip, and is also equipped with 1 high-precision lidar and 26 all-around perception devices, maxing out hardware redundancy. The computing power level of the entire hardware set reaches 3.5 times that of mainstream models in the same class. Even in the market environment five years from now, the hardware performance will not fall behind, fundamentally avoiding the awkward situation in which car owners soon encounter outdated configurations after purchase, and ensuring intelligent usage experience over the long term.
At the software algorithm level, the Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ deeply integrates the Momenta R7 world model and is among the first mass-produced models on the market to implement the full R7 functionality. All functions are fully usable from the factory, with no need for a long wait for subsequent OTA upgrades. Users can experience the full-blooded high-level smart driving capability as soon as they get the car, without paying for a half-finished intelligent experience.
At the whole-vehicle calibration level, the R&D team deeply coordinated the chassis and the smart driving system. The vehicle has no dragging sensation during acceleration, the deceleration process is linear and gentle, and steering operation is precise and responsive, thoroughly solving from the ground up the industry pain point that smart driving electric vehicles easily make passengers carsick, allowing the whole family to enjoy a comfortable ride experience on long journeys.
The actual implementation capability of intelligent driving is the core standard for measuring a high-level smart driving model. The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ implements three core smart driving capabilities at once, truly achieving no breakpoints from start to finish, and interpreting the solid gold content of a first-tier smart driving team with real product strength.
The first core capability is true park-to-park smart driving. The key to this function lies in whether the vehicle can autonomously complete entry and exit operations in parking lots. The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ supports one-key activation of intelligent navigation from a parking space in an underground garage. The vehicle can autonomously drive out of the parking lot, plan the optimal driving route, and after arriving at the destination, automatically find an empty parking space and park precisely. No driver takeover is needed throughout the process, thoroughly completing the smart driving loop for urban travel and fully freeing the driver during daily commuting and business district trips.
The second core capability is usable intelligent parking. The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ covers almost all parking scenarios in daily travel. Extremely narrow spaces, irregular diagonal spaces, and dead-end spaces with no way out can all be parked in easily. When there is no fixed parking space nearby, the owner can manually draw lines and the vehicle also supports autonomous parking. The vehicle also supports cross-floor memory parking, with a maximum memory distance of 3 kilometers, up to 7 floors, and up to 10 commonly used parking routes. Complex business district basements and old residential communities can all be handled easily, making it arguably the model with the strongest intelligent parking capability in the 150,000-yuan-class market.
The third core capability is full-domain mapless NOA, enabling driving wherever there is a road. The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ gets rid of the traditional high-level smart driving dependence on high-precision maps. It not only covers mapless NOA on highways and urban roads, but morerarely, it can also achieve full-domain mapless NOA in remote villages and unpaved off-road roads. The unique "rural NOA" capability means the vehicle is no longer limited to urban roads. Even when driving to remote scenic areas or traveling on township and county roads, smart driving functions can still be used stably. In the face of special scenarios such as sudden pedestrian emergence, door-opening collisions, three-point reversing and U-turns on narrow roads, passing on narrow road sections, reversing on dead-end roads, complex roundabouts, and single-lane meetings, the vehicle can respond calmly and pass smoothly with zero takeovers throughout, greatly improving travel safety and convenience.
The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ has also put great effort into power and range, equipped with a 4-speed Mach hybrid system, making it the family SUV in the 150,000-yuan-class market most suitable for long-distance travel. The vehicle's CLTC pure electric range reaches 220 kilometers, so daily urban commuting can be done entirely as a pure electric model, greatly reducing usage costs. With a full tank and full charge, the comprehensive range exceeds 1,500 kilometers, so cross-province long-distance self-driving trips require no frequent recharging, completely eliminating users' range anxiety.
The Mach hybrid system is equipped with the Mach 1.5T turbocharged hybrid dedicated engine. The power output with turbocharging is clearly superior to naturally aspirated engines in the same class, with ample power reserve whether for highway overtaking or uphill driving. The Mach battery adopts the industry-first 4-layer reinforced cell technology and has undergone multiple rigorous extreme tests. Its safety standards far exceed the new national standard, achieving no leakage, no fire, and no explosion. At the same time, the brand also provides backup protection for the battery, fundamentally eliminating users' concerns about battery safety. The Mach hybrid and Tianyuan smart driving system are a match made in heaven, giving the Fengshen L8+ both ultra-long range and top-tier smart driving capability, making it the safest and most worry-free family SUV for long-distance travel.
In terms of cabin comfort, the Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ directly benchmarks the experience against 300,000-yuan-class luxury models, with comprehensive upgrades to comfort configuration. The interior is equipped with cloud-soft large sofa seats, a rear ceiling-mounted entertainment screen, a rear independent heating and cooling box, aviation-style small tables, and a 19-speaker WANOS panoramic sound audio system, forming a rare-in-class "luxury car five-piece set." To enhance the happiness of daily car use, the new car is equipped with a heated capacitive steering wheel and upgraded driver and front passenger seat memory, welcome, and ventilation functions. All seats in the front and rear rows support heating, taking comprehensive care of every passenger's ride experience and redefining the comfort standard of 150,000-yuan-class family SUVs.
At the health and intelligence level, the vehicle is equipped with a "zero formaldehyde" healthy cabin authoritatively certified by the China Automotive Technology and Research Center. There is no pungent odor inside the car, so elderly people, children, and pregnant women can ride with peace of mind, comprehensively safeguarding family health. At the same time, it is equipped with Dongfeng's latest Tianyuan OS 2.0 system, with comprehensive optimization from physical interaction to intelligent functions, allowing the whole family to enjoy the travel experience of a 300,000-yuan-class flagship model.
The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ brings together the 700TOPS computing power chip, the intelligent assisted driving algorithm of the Momenta R7 world model, and also features a track-level smart driving chassis tuned by the CTCC championship team, the luxury car five-piece comfort configuration, the 4-speed Mach hybrid power, the Tianyuan OS 2.0 six major agents, and the Qianwen large model. The vehicle maxes out both hardware strength and software capability, gathering the four core advantages of 150,000-yuan-class high-level smart driving + comfortable cabin + super hybrid + AI smart cockpit. It is a true dual flagship for smart driving and comfort, and with its leapfrog product strength, it sets a brand-new value benchmark for the 150,000-yuan-class family SUV market.
