The first Fengshen production model, an A-class four-door sedan called the Fengshen S30, was unveiled at the Auto Shanghai motor show in April 2009[3] and went on sale in China in July 2009.[1]

In June 2010 Dongfeng began construction of an engine plant in Hebei province for the manufacture of self-developed engines for Fengshen vehicles.[4]

The Fengshen H30, a mid-sized five-door hatchback, was officially launched in January 2011.[5] The Fengshen H30 Cross, a compact five-door SUV, made its debut at the Auto Shanghai motor show in April 2011[6] and went on sale in China in the same month.[7] The Fengshen A60, a mid-sized sedan based on the Nissan Syplhy, made its debut at the Auto Guangzhou motor show in November 2011[8] and went on sale in China in March 2012.[9]

In April 2012 Dongfeng announced that it would establish a multi-brand dealership network across China selling Fengshen, Dongfeng Fengxing and Zhengzhou Nissan vehicles.[10]

Fengshen vehicles went on sale outside China for the first time in August 2012, when the marque was launched in Venezuela.[2]
