On March 20, 2026, Dongfeng NISSAN will officially launch pre-sales for its all-new mid-to-large-sized SUV—the NX8. Positioned as a "Massive 5-Seater Smart & Comfort SUV in the 200,000 RMB Class," it marks a global first: the first new energy SUV from a joint-venture brand to feature both an 800V high-voltage platform and 5C ultra-fast charging technology. As the inaugural SUV in NISSAN's "N" series, the NX8 breaks the technological inertia typically seen among joint-venture brands in the EV sector. It achieves this through a suite of "hardcore" features—including a dual-powertrain strategy (Pure EV + Range Extender), LiDAR-equipped intelligent driving capabilities across the entire lineup, and a 2.4-meter-wide OLED "Star Ring" light strip—directly addressing family users' core demands for "unrestricted range, intelligent safety, and spacious comfort."

On March 18, 2026, Dongfeng Forthing will officially launch the 2026 Lingzhi PLUS. With an accessible starting price of just ¥89,900, it becomes the world's first wide-body MPV—priced under ¥100,000—to offer four distinct powertrain options: gasoline, pure electric, range-extended electric, and compressed natural gas (CNG). Rather than prioritizing flashy technological gimmicks, the vehicle precisely addresses the core needs of global small-to-medium business owners and multi-child families through its *exceptionally spacious interior, ultimate cost-efficiency, and robust durability*—meeting the dual requirements of *transporting both passengers and cargo*, while being *fuel-efficient and economical* as well as *long-lasting and reliable*.

On February 28, 2026, DONGFENG FORTHING officially launched its new all-electric SUV, the Xinghai T5, offering two models: the Enjoy Edition and the Premium Edition, with official guide prices of RMB 153,900 and RMB 161,900 respectively. As the first SUV in the FORTHING Xinghai series, it doesn't pursue high-spec specifications, but rather focuses on three core advantages: long range, spacious interior, and high warranty, precisely targeting the RMB 150,000 family commuting market and directly addressing users' real needs for "peace of mind, sufficiency, and reliability."

On February 24, 2026, Dongfeng NISSAN officially launched the N6 180 PRO+ model at its spring launch event, with an official guide price of RMB 116,900.

As a mid-to-high-end version of the N6 series, it precisely addresses the core needs of family users for "fuel efficiency, intelligence, and comfort" with its 180km pure electric range, L2+ level intelligent driving, superior space, and high-value features.

The all-new Dongfeng NISSAN NX8, a mid-to-large-sized electric SUV, officially rolled off the production line at the Guangzhou Huadu factory on January 27, 2026, marking the joint venture brand's full-scale entry into the high-end new energy vehicle market. As the third product in the "N series," the NX8 features four core technologies: an 800V high-voltage platform, 5C ultra-fast charging, lidar-based intelligent driving, and an OLED quantum light screen. It will offer both pure electric and range-extended power versions, both utilizing an 800V silicon carbide platform and equipped with CATL lithium iron phosphate batteries, supporting 5C ultra-fast charging technology.

The 2026 Dongfeng Nissan NX8 is expected to be officially launched from March to April 2026, and is likely to have its global premiere at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show. As the first mid-to-large-sized SUV under Dongfeng Nissan's "Tianyan Architecture," the NX8 represents a crucial step for the Chinese joint venture brand in its full-scale entry into the high-end new energy vehicle market. Its launch schedule closely aligns with Chinese consumers' urgent demand for advanced intelligent driving and ultra-fast charging capabilities.

At the beginning of 2026, the Dongfeng NISSAN N6 redefined the emotional value of joint-venture plug-in hybrid sedans with a culturally resonant interior upgrade. Following its launch in December 2026 , which saw 6,822 units sold in its first month and secured its position at the top of the joint-venture plug-in hybrid sales charts, the N6 launched a new "Grand Purple and Red" bespoke interior color on January 15, 2026, offered free of charge for a limited time, becoming the most ritualistic way to travel in the new year.

The 2026 Dongfeng Xinghai T5 pure electric SUV officially opened for pre-orders on December 27, 2025.
