On November 12, 2025, Dongfeng FORTHING officially announced the launch of the 2025 Youting PHEV, bringing a new plug-in hybrid option to the family MPV market. The new car is available in two configurations: Luxury and Premium, with official guide prices of RMB 154,900 and RMB 159,900 respectively. This new model not only retains the iconic design of the gasoline version but also features a completely revamped powertrain.
The FORTHING Youting PHEV maintains a high degree of consistency with the gasoline version in terms of exterior design, without significant modifications due to its new energy vehicle status.
Design Language: The front face retains the highly recognizable spindle-shaped large grille design, paired with arrow-shaped LED headlights, creating a strong visual impact.
Vehicle Dimensions: The new vehicle measures 4850/1900/1740mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm. Notably, its height is 25mm higher than the gasoline version, likely due to the addition of a battery pack under the chassis. The doors do not use the sliding doors common in MPVs, but rather conventional side-opening doors.
Stepping inside, the Youting PHEV aims to provide a comfortable and convenient driving experience for the whole family.
Intelligent Cockpit: The new vehicle features an 8.8-inch LCD instrument cluster and a 14.6-inch central control screen, supporting intelligent voice recognition and smartphone connectivity, meeting the basic needs of modern families for vehicle-machine integration.
Seat Functions: The vehicle's seat configuration is one of its highlights. Both the front and second-row seats offer electric adjustment, heating, and ventilation functions, ensuring comfort for all passengers on long journeys. Furthermore, the second row thoughtfully includes small tables for placing items or engaging in simple entertainment or work. The third-row seats support backrest angle adjustment and can be folded down in sections, providing flexible and versatile space configurations.
As the core of this update, the Youting PHEV's powertrain is its biggest selling point.
Powertrain: The new vehicle is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T engine and an electric motor. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power output of 113kW, while the electric motor has a maximum power output of 150kW. The transmission is a single-speed DHT gearbox.
Battery and Range: The vehicle is equipped with a 20.156kWh ternary lithium battery pack. Under WLTC conditions, its pure electric range reaches 92km, covering most urban daily commuting scenarios. With a full tank of gas and a fully charged battery, the new vehicle's combined range is claimed to reach 1300km, greatly alleviating users' range anxiety. Its WLTC low-charge fuel consumption is 5.4L/100km, demonstrating good fuel economy.
Charging Methods: It should be noted that, based on current information, the FORTHING Youting PHEV does not currently support DC fast charging; it will primarily rely on home charging stations or AC slow charging stations for energy replenishment.
Regarding intelligent driving, the high-end premium version of the FORTHING Youting PHEV offers a Level 2 driver assistance system, including:
Adaptive Cruise Control
Lane Centering Keeping
Automatic Lane Change Assist. These functions effectively reduce driver fatigue and improve driving safety in specific scenarios such as highway cruising.
The launch of the 2025 Dongfeng FORTHING Youting PHEV precisely targets a relatively uncompetitive market segment—the 150,000 RMB plug-in hybrid family MPV segment. Currently, consumers have relatively few new energy MPV models to choose from in this price range. With its combined range exceeding 1300km, flexible 7-seat space, and abundant comfort features, the new vehicle provides multi-person families with a new option that balances fuel economy and practicality.
