Source-derived summary

The Forthing Lingzhi Plus is a minivan produced by Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor under the Forthing or, originally, the Dongfeng Fengxing sub-brand.

Overview

Originally named the Fengxing CM7, the first model debuted at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show and was launched in the market later in the same year. The Fengxing CM7 is powered by a Mitsubishi 4G69 2.4 liter inline-4 engine producing 150hp mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. A variant will also be available with a 2.0 liter turbocharged diesel engine, mated to the same 5-speed manual gearbox. The styling of the body was heavily inspired by the second generation Hyundai Starex with a front DRG design inspired by the second generation Toyota Alphard.

Prices of the Dongfeng Fengxing CM7 ranges from 129,900 yuan to 173,900 yuan in China at launch. Later in the market, the price range was adjusted to a range from 118,900 yuan to 229,900 yuan.

Forthing F600 (2016–2019)

A cheaper trim was also available from 2016 to 2019 called the Forthing F600, featuring restyled front and rear DRG designs. A facelift of the Forthing F600 was revealed in 2018 during the 2018 Beijing Auto Show.

Forthing Lingzhi Plus (2020–)

As of October 2020, a variant based on the CM7 called the Forthing Lingzhi Plus was launched.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as motor vehicle. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q55609863. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2018.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
