Overview

The Forthing Jingyi S50 sedan debuted during the 2014 Beijing Auto Show as the Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi S50 and was launched on the China car market in later 2014. The Jingyi S50 compact sedan shares the same platform as the Dongfeng Fengshen A60 compact sedan with both cars based on the Nissan Sylphy produced by the Dongfeng-Nissan joint venture in China.

The styling of the Jingyi S50 at launch was heavily inspired by the Hyundai Sonata with similar front DRG designs despite being in a smaller segment. The final production Jingyi S50 was launched in September 2014 with prices starting from 69,900 yuan to 102,900 yuan. Engines includes a 118hp 1.5 liter engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and a 120hp 1.6 liter engine mated to a CVT. The 1.5 liter engine is a Mivec sourced from Mitsubishi, and the 1.6 liter engine is carried over from Nissan.
