Sales of the Chinese pickup truck Dongfeng DF6 will start soon in Russia

Dongfeng has officially announced the imminent start of sales of its DF6 pickup truck in Russia. Although the exact dates are not known, the manufacturer named the price that Russian drivers can count on - 1 rubles. Most likely, we are talking about the initial cost, without additional options.


The Dongfeng DF6 is a complete old-school Japanese pickup truck. Unlike American models with their large displacement V8 engines, the Chinese car is economical.

The DF6 is a classic four-wheel drive pickup truck. In China, you can buy versions with one leading axle, but only 4x4 models are planned to be delivered to Russia.



Do not think that Dongfeng DF6 is another "noname" from China. Firstly, frame pickups from leading Chinese manufacturers are usually copies of Japanese SUVs, often licensed.

Secondly, as for the DF6, it is almost a complete analogue of the Nissan Navara, and two models are produced at the same plant and assembly line. How can you not joke about working the third shift at night while the Japanese brand owners are sleeping? But the plant is a co-production known as Zhengzhou (aka Dongfeng) Nissan. Everything is serious and official.

In Russia, the DF6 pickup will be sold in only one version - with all-wheel drive, manual transmission and turbodiesel engine. The engine with a working volume of 2,5 liters develops only 136 hp. With. On the one hand, this is not much, on the other hand, it guarantees the resource of the power unit.

The cabin will be only two-row - these are the pickup trucks that are popular in Russia. Although, there is no need to talk about some kind of crazy demand for cars of this class in our country.

Dongfeng is betting on a price of 1,99 million rubles. They ask so much for the new LADA Vesta in a luxury configuration. But is it possible to compare a frame pickup truck with a budget passenger car? It is possible that after the start of sales in Russia there will be fans of such cars!



The manufacturer claims that the Dongfeng DF6 is suitable for harsh operation even in difficult terrain. Russian drivers tend to believe this - the Nissan Navara analogue has long proved its reliability.

The drive of the car is not always full - it can be connected if necessary. This allows you to save fuel while traveling on the highway and in the city.

It remains only to wait for the official start of sales of the Chinese pickup truck in Russia.
