DongFeng 370: Which Version Should You Buy?
The DongFeng 370 catalogue data presents a straightforward choice: the model has one generation, one body type, and one version. The available 1.5 MT combines a 1,499 cc Gasoline engine producing 115 hp (85 kW) with a 5-speed Manual gearbox and FWD. It was produced from 2015 to 2021 as an SUV 5-doors.
The DongFeng 370 catalogue data presents a straightforward choice: the model has one generation, one body type, and one version. The available 1.5 MT combines a 1,499 cc Gasoline engine producing 115 hp (85 kW) with a 5-speed Manual gearbox and FWD. It was produced from 2015 to 2021 as an SUV 5-doors. Because there are no alternative engines, transmissions, or generations in the supplied range, choosing a DongFeng 370 means deciding whether this single specification suits your needs rather than comparing competing versions.
DongFeng 370 generations compared
There is one DongFeng 370 generation in the catalogue. The 1 generation ran from 2015 to 2021 and used the SUV 5-doors body. It contains one version, 1.5 MT, so there is no later generation or restyling specification to compare against it.
As a result, no generation brought additional power, a different gearbox, another drive system, or a revised body type within the supplied data. Buyers considering different production years are still comparing cars from the same generation and the same listed version. Differences in condition or equipment are not measured in the data and therefore cannot be used here to favor one year over another.
DongFeng 370 engine and specs
The 1.5 MT has a 1,499 cc Gasoline engine with 4 cylinders in an Inline layout and 4 valves per cylinder. It produces 115 hp and 85 kW. Boost is No, while the fuel system is Distributed injection (multi-point). The engine is mounted Front, transverse and uses 95 fuel.
Its specific output is approximately 76.7 hp per litre, calculated from the listed 115 hp and 1,499 cc displacement. The transmission is a 5-speed Manual, and the drive type is FWD. Torque and the engine speed at which maximum power or torque is produced are not measured.
| Version | Power | Torque | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 MT | 115 hp (85 kW) | not measured | 1,499 cc | Gasoline, 95 | 4 | Inline | No | 5-speed Manual | FWD |
There is no higher-powered engine, boosted alternative, Automatic gearbox, or AWD version in the supplied catalogue. Choosing 1.5 MT therefore buys the complete listed DongFeng 370 powertrain specification rather than an entry-level configuration that can be compared numerically with a more powerful one.
Performance, mpg, and fuel economy
The 1.5 MT has a maximum speed of 160 km/h. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is not measured. City fuel consumption is not measured, highway fuel consumption is not measured, and combined fuel consumption is not measured. CO₂ emissions and the emissions class are also not measured.
This means the available figures cannot support a fuel-economy or mpg comparison between versions. There is only one version, and no consumption result is provided for it. The 50-litre tank is measured, but driving range cannot be calculated without a measured fuel-consumption figure.
Dimensions, weight, and ground clearance
The 1.5 MT has a kerb weight of 1,325 kg and a gross weight of 1,850 kg. The difference between those figures is 525 kg. Its ground clearance is 170 mm, and its fuel tank holds 50 litres. Wheel sizes are not measured.
Using the listed kerb weight and engine output, the 1.5 MT carries approximately 11.5 kg per horsepower. Expressed the other way, it provides about 86.8 hp per tonne of kerb weight. These calculated ratios describe the only available version; they do not establish an advantage over another DongFeng 370 because no second version is present in the data.
The suspension is Independent, spring at both the front and rear. Braking hardware consists of Ventilated disc brakes at the front and Disc brakes at the rear.
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Difference | Ground clearance | Tank | Wheel sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 MT | 1,325 kg | 1,850 kg | 525 kg | 170 mm | 50 litres | not measured |
DongFeng 370 reliability and problems
Reliability results and recorded problems are not measured in the supplied data. The catalogue specifies the 1.5 MT engine, transmission, drive, suspension, and brakes, but it does not provide failure rates, repair records, durability tests, or owner-survey results. No production year within 2015–2021 can therefore be described as more reliable than another from these figures alone.
Which DongFeng 370 version should you buy?
The only evidence-based recommendation is the 1.5 MT, because it is the sole DongFeng 370 version in the supplied catalogue. It offers 115 hp from 1,499 cc, a calculated 76.7 hp per litre, a 5-speed Manual gearbox, FWD, 170 mm of ground clearance, and a 50-litre tank. Its kerb weight is 1,325 kg, giving a calculated 11.5 kg per horsepower, while its maximum speed is 160 km/h.
There is no numerical basis for paying extra for another engine, transmission, drive type, or generation: none is listed. Likewise, the data does not show what extra money would buy because prices, equipment levels, and competing versions are not measured. The practical buying decision is therefore whether the fixed 1.5 MT specification is acceptable. Buyers who specifically want Gasoline, a 5-speed Manual, and FWD will find that combination here; buyers who require a measured acceleration time, measured mpg, Automatic, AWD, or a choice of engine outputs cannot select such an alternative from this catalogue range.
