Motorinvest, the official distributor for Dongfeng, has announced the introduction of the seven‑seat Dongfeng 580 crossover to the Russian market. The news came in a statement received by socialbites.ca from the distributor’s team.
As sales begin in Russia, the Dongfeng 580 will be offered in a single, top‑line configuration focused on premium comfort and practicality. The manufacturer emphasizes the model’s generous interior space as its standout attribute, aiming to attract families and business users who value versatility and cargo capability alongside everyday driveability.
In terms of measurements, the Dongfeng 580 spans 4680 mm in length with a wheelbase of 2780 mm. The luggage compartment offers a flexible capacity, ranging from 375 liters up to 2215 liters when the rear seats are folded, making the vehicle suitable for weekend trips, sport gear, or larger shopping hauls. Power comes from a 1.5‑liter turbocharged engine producing around 145 horsepower, paired with a manual or automatic shift option and front‑wheel drive to balance efficiency with daily usability. Standard safety and convenience features include front and side airbags, a stabilization system, multi‑directional cameras for enhanced parking and maneuvering, keyless entry, and cruise control for comfortable long‑distance travel.
As of now, Dongfeng 580’s exact price in Russia and the official start date for sales have not been disclosed publicly, leaving potential buyers with anticipation about the model’s market entry timeline and the final cost in ruble terms.
Observers note that there are longstanding traditions in Vladivostok related to automotive markets, alongside a broader trend of renewed challenges in Russia’s automotive imports. Industry voices suggest that the market is closely watching how new models like the Dongfeng 580 will perform once they become readily available and how local conditions will shape overall demand for seven‑seater family crossovers.
