However, this prototype remained a unique example as it was too cheap and technically outdated to enter the market and Dongfeng began working in 2007 on a new project based on PSA technologies.

In April 2009, the new Dongfeng Fengshen S30 officially debuted, the first car of the new Fengshen brand (translated into English language as Aeolus) intended to sell passenger vehicles (sedans and crossovers) of the Dongfeng group.

The mechanical scheme was the same as the Citroën models with front-wheel drive, MacPherson suspension at the front and interconnected wheels with a torsional axle at the rear, 105 horsepower 1.6 PSA four-cylinder TU5 engine.
