The latest Dongfeng 580 crossover from China has entered Russian showrooms, standing in the same general class as the Volkswagen Tiguan. Pricing starts around 1.5 million rubles and can go up to about 2.1 million rubles depending on configuration.
In Russia, buyers can pick between two trim levels: Comfort and Luxury, each offering a distinct balance of features and value for money.
Design and size place the Dongfeng 580 close to a longer Tiguan in overall footprint. Under the hood sits a 1.5-liter gasoline engine delivering about 145 horsepower, paired with a robotic transmission for precise, smooth shifts. This setup aims to provide adequate performance for daily driving while keeping a reasonable fuel economy in the compact crossover segment.
The Dongfeng 580 Luxury is equipped with a suite of modern essentials, including cruise control, complete camera coverage around the vehicle, anti-lock braking systems with electronic stability control, a lane and traction stabilization system, parking sensors, tire pressure monitoring, and single-zone climate control. In the comparison with the Tiguan, the Tiguan’s trim typically offers a broader package that often includes light and rain sensors, a heated steering wheel, and heated front seats, along with additional comfort and convenience features that some buyers value highly.
