The only engine for the Jingyi is a 1.6 liter with 122hp and 155nm, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.[1]

A version with different grilles and crossover cues including plastic claddings around the wheel arches and bumpers was also available as the Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi LV or Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi SUV before the facelift. After the facelift, the whole front DRG was updated and the crossover cues became standard.[2] The compact MPV was renamed to Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X5 after the facelift as the Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi became a series of passenger vehicles.[3][4] Prices ranges from 99,900 yuan to 105,900 yuan.
