[2] The production version of the Dongfeng A9 debuted during the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show,[3] and was originally planned to be available to the market from April 2016.

[5] The Dongfeng A9 is powered by a 1.6 liter THP turbocharged engine with 200 horsepower and 280 Nm of torque, connected to a six-speed automatic gearbox.

The Dongfeng A9 executive sedan shares the same platform as the later introduced Citroën C6 executive sedan with both cars based on the PSA PF3 platform.
