The report says that Dongfeng aims to export 2,000 units annually to Japan, beginning shipments with a four-seater car with a 2.3 litre Mitsubishi engine selling at a price of about RMB200,000 in China.
In addition, the vehicle, manufactured in a Dongfeng’s subsidiary in Rongcheng, Shandong, will also be exported to North America and Korea.
