On October 23, the automotive industry welcomed a highly competitive heavyweight contender. The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+, positioned around the core concept of "dual flagship of intelligent driving and comfort," was officially launched, with a limited-time launch trade-in price of only 129,900 yuan to 159,900 yuan, bringing unprecedented impact to 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 intelligent driving challenge witnessed by CCTV. The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ achieved zero takeover throughout the entire process, directly challenging the 108 bends of Mount Everest at an average altitude of up to 5,000 meters with the Tianyuan Intelligent Driving T800 system. Along the continuous mountain road stretches spanning dozens of kilometers, the vehicle successively handled a series of industry-recognized extreme intelligent driving tests, including precise recognition on road sections without lane markings, parking on the cliff side, suddenly blocked roads by grazing cattle and sheep, bumpy unpaved washboard roads, and meeting trucks on narrow road sections, maintaining smooth and stable performance 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 tangible performance, and also 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 Intelligent 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 intelligent driving whole-vehicle calibration. With generational leading technological advantages, it successfully completes the "technological summit charge" of the 150,000-yuan-class family SUV, becoming the unique intelligent mobility benchmark in the same price range.
Dongfeng Group has empowered the Fengshen brand with its core intelligent driving technology. The Tianyuan Intelligent Driving T800 has 700TOPS of ultra-high-performance computing power, leading all models in the same price range by a generation. The system deeply integrates the Momenta R7 world model, connecting for the first time the four core domains of intelligent driving, powertrain, chassis, and intelligent cockpit. Combined with the industry's first intelligent 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, while also being equipped with 1 high-precision LiDAR and 26 all-around perception devices, maximizing 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 quickly encounter outdated configurations after purchase and ensuring long-term intelligent usage experience.
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 advanced intelligent driving capability as soon as they get the car, without paying for a semi-finished intelligent experience.
At the whole-vehicle calibration level, the R&D team deeply coordinated the chassis and the intelligent driving system. The vehicle has no sense of drag during acceleration, the deceleration process is linear and gentle, and steering operations are precise and responsive. This fundamentally solves the industry pain point that intelligent 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 criterion for measuring a high-level intelligent driving model. The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ implements three core intelligent driving capabilities at once, truly achieving a seamless process from starting point to destination, and interpreting the solid gold content of a first-tier intelligent driving team with tangible product strength.
The first core capability is true park-to-park intelligent 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, automatically find an available parking space after arriving at the destination, and park accurately. No driver takeover is required throughout the entire process, thoroughly completing the intelligent 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 exit can all be easily parked into. When there is no fixed parking space nearby, the owner can manually draw lines, and the vehicle also supports autonomous parking into the space. The vehicle also supports cross-floor memory parking, with a maximum memory distance of 3 kilometers, support for up to 7 floor levels, and memory of up to 10 frequently 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 intelligent driving dependence on high-precision maps. It not only covers mapless NOA on highways and urban roads, but more notably, it can also achieve full-domain mapless NOA in remote villages and unpaved roads in the wild. Its 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, the intelligent driving function can still be used stably. In the face of special scenarios such as ghost probe pedestrians, door-opening collisions, three-point reversing and U-turns on narrow roads, meeting vehicles on narrow sections, reversing on dead-end roads, complex roundabouts, and single-lane meetings, the vehicle can respond calmly and pass smoothly with zero takeover throughout, greatly improving the safety and convenience of travel.
The Dongfeng Fengshen L8+ has also made great efforts in power and range, being equipped with a 4-speed Mach hybrid system and becoming 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 fully treated 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 do not require frequent refueling or charging, 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. Whether overtaking at high speed or driving uphill, the power reserve is very ample. 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 bottom-line protection for the battery, fundamentally eliminating users' concerns about battery safety. The Mach hybrid and Tianyuan intelligent driving system can be called a perfect match, giving the Fengshen L8+ both ultra-long range and top-level intelligent 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 its experience against 300,000-yuan-class luxury models, with comprehensive upgrades to comfort features. 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 "five-piece luxury car 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 the 150,000-yuan-class family SUV.
At the health and intelligence level, the vehicle is equipped with a "zero formaldehyde" healthy cabin 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 confidence, 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 and the intelligent assisted driving algorithm of the Momenta R7 world model, while also featuring a track-level intelligent driving chassis tuned by the CTCC championship team, the five-piece luxury comfort configuration, the 4-speed Mach hybrid powertrain, the Tianyuan OS 2.0 six major agents, and the Qianwen large model. The vehicle maximizes both hardware strength and software capability, gathering the four core advantages of 150,000-yuan-class advanced intelligent driving, comfortable cabin, super hybrid, and AI intelligent cockpit. It is a true dual flagship of intelligent driving and comfort, and with its segment-leading product strength, it sets a brand-new value benchmark for the 150,000-yuan-class family SUV market.
