DongFeng 580: which version to buy

The DongFeng 580 is a SUV 5-doors with one generation (April 2016–August 2021) and a 1 generation, restyling line that started in September 2018 and has no stop date in the data. Three catalogue versions exist: 1.8 MT (132 hp) on the first generation, then two restyled 1.5 AT cars — 184 hp and 145 hp.

The DongFeng 580 is a SUV 5-doors with one generation (April 2016–August 2021) and a 1 generation, restyling line that started in September 2018 and has no stop date in the data. Three catalogue versions exist: 1.8 MT (132 hp) on the first generation, then two restyled 1.5 AT cars — 184 hp and 145 hp. If the question is which one to buy, the numbers split cleanly: the original 1.8 MT is the only Manual / 5-speed / No-boost car; both restyles are Turbo Automatic 6-speed FWD petrols. The 184 hp 1.5 AT is the most powerful and the most torque-rich; the 145 hp 1.5 AT is the only version with a measured 0–100 time (8.1 s). Price is not in this catalogue.

DongFeng 580 generations: what changed between the first run and the restyle

1 generation (2016-04-01 to 2021-08-31) is a SUV 5-doors with 1 version: 1.8 MT. Engine layout is Front, longitudinal; rear suspension is Semi-independent, torsion; brakes are Disc front and Disc rear. That is the only period in which a Manual gearbox, No boost, Distributed injection (multi-point), and 92 fuel appear.

1 generation, restyling (2018-09-01, stop not measured) is the same SUV 5-doors body with 2 versions, both named 1.5 AT. Layout switches to Front, transverse. Rear suspension becomes Independent, spring (matching the front). Front brakes become Ventilated disc. Both restyle engines are Turbo Gasoline Automatic 6 FWD, on 95 fuel. The restyle therefore is not a second model family: it is the same generation with a different powertrain and chassis spec sheet.

The production windows overlap (restyle from 2018-09-01 while the first generation continues to 2021-08-31). A buyer shopping “first generation vs restyle” is choosing a 1.8 MT versus a 1.5 AT, not two separate generations numbered 1 and 2.

DongFeng Glory 580 specs and engine: every version side by side

Exact names from the catalogue. Two restyle cars share the name 1.5 AT; they are split by power.

Injection: 1.8 MT uses Distributed injection (multi-point); 1.5 AT (145 hp) uses Direct injection (direct); 1.5 AT (184 hp) injection is not measured. Bore × stroke is measured only on 1.5 AT (145 hp): 75 x 84.8. Eco class is measured only on 1.8 MT: Euro 5.

Specific output (hp per litre, from the given displacement and power):

• 1.8 MT: 132 / 1.798 ≈ 73.4 hp/L
• 1.5 AT (145 hp): 145 / 1.499 ≈ 96.7 hp/L
• 1.5 AT (184 hp): 184 / 1.500 ≈ 122.7 hp/L

The restyle 1.5 AT (184 hp) makes 52 hp more than 1.8 MT (184 − 132) from 298 cc less displacement (1798 − 1500). Torque gap is larger: 300 − 176 = 124 Nm. Versus the other 1.5 AT, the 184 hp car adds 39 hp (184 − 145) and 80 Nm (300 − 220) from 1 cc more listed volume (1500 vs 1499).

Performance, mpg, and what is not measured

0–100

• 1.8 MT: not measured
• 1.5 AT (184 hp): not measured
• 1.5 AT (145 hp): 8.1 s — the only timed sprint in the file

Top speed

• 1.8 MT: 180
• 1.5 AT (145 hp): 180
• 1.5 AT (184 hp): not measured

The 184 hp restyle is the most powerful on paper, but this catalogue does not give it a 0–100 or a top speed. Anyone ranking “fastest DongFeng 580” from these rows can only say the 145 hp 1.5 AT is the only one with a stopwatch figure.

Fuel consumption (mixed)

• 1.8 MT: city not measured, highway not measured, mixed not measured
• 1.5 AT (184 hp): mixed 7; city not measured; highway not measured
• 1.5 AT (145 hp): mixed 7.6; city not measured; highway not measured

On mixed consumption the 184 hp 1.5 AT is 0.6 lower than the 145 hp 1.5 AT (7.6 − 7). That is the only consumption comparison the data allows. The 1.8 MT cannot be scored on mpg here.

Fuel grade: first-generation 1.8 MT is specified for 92; both restyle 1.5 AT cars are 95.

DongFeng 580 dimensions, weight, tank, wheels

Payload where both masses exist:

• 1.8 MT: 2085 − 1535 = 550
• 1.5 AT (145 hp): 2085 − 1585 = 500

The restyle 145 hp car is 50 kg heavier at kerb (1585 − 1535) with the same gross 2085, so payload is 50 kg lower. Ground clearance is 200 on both measured cars. Tank volume is measured only on 1.8 MT (58). Wheel sizes are not measured on any version.

Mass per horsepower (kerb / hp), only where kerb exists:

• 1.8 MT: 1535 / 132 ≈ 11.63 kg/hp
• 1.5 AT (145 hp): 1585 / 145 ≈ 10.93 kg/hp

The 145 hp restyle is heavier but still 0.70 kg/hp lighter per unit of power. The 184 hp 1.5 AT cannot be ranked on kg/hp because kerb is not measured.

Chassis difference that is in the data, not inferred: first-generation rear Semi-independent, torsion versus restyle rear Independent, spring; restyle front brakes Ventilated disc versus first-generation front Disc.

Which DongFeng 580 version to choose

There is no price in this dataset, so “extra money” here means extra power, torque, gears, and chassis spec relative to the 1.8 MT baseline.

Choose 1.8 MT if you want the only Manual. It is the sole 5-speed Manual, the only No-boost engine, the only Front, longitudinal layout, the only 92 fuel spec, the only measured tank (58), and the lightest measured kerb (1535). It has the lowest specific output (73.4 hp/L) and the least torque (176 Nm). Top speed is 180, same as the measured restyle. Consumption, 0–100, and wheels are not measured.

Choose 1.5 AT (145 hp) if you want the only timed car and a full restyle spec sheet. Versus 1.8 MT you gain 13 hp (145 − 132), 44 Nm (220 − 176), Turbo, Automatic 6, Direct injection (direct), Front, transverse, independent rear spring, ventilated front discs, and 95 fuel. You give up 50 kg of payload and the measured 58 tank. You get 8.1 s 0–100 and 180 top speed, mixed 7.6. Specific output rises from 73.4 to 96.7 hp/L; kg/hp improves from 11.63 to 10.93.

Choose 1.5 AT (184 hp) if peak power and torque are the ranking. It is 52 hp and 124 Nm above 1.8 MT, and 39 hp / 80 Nm above the other 1.5 AT. Specific output is the catalogue high at ≈122.7 hp/L. Mixed consumption is 7, 0.6 below the 145 hp twin. What you do not get from this file: 0–100, top speed, kerb, gross, clearance, tank, injection type, rpm for peak power or torque. Those are not measured — they are not “zero,” they are missing.

Glory 580 / 580 Pro naming. Search queries use Glory 580 and 580 Pro; this catalogue names the model 580 and the versions 1.8 MT and 1.5 AT only. Reliability, problems, and asking price are not in the data.

Short buy rule from the arithmetic. Need a clutch and the lightest measured kerb: 1.8 MT. Need a documented 0–100 and a complete restyle weight/clearance row: 1.5 AT (145 hp). Need the most hp and Nm and the lowest measured mixed figure: 1.5 AT (184 hp), accepting that several performance and dimension cells for that version are not measured.
