In a move signaling the new chapter of its Central American expansion, Dongfeng Motor Corporation made its debut at the INA PAACE Automechanika Mexico 2024.
Mexico – July 10, 2024 —
The largest auto parts expo in Central America, INA PAACE Automechanika Mexico 2024, roared to life on July 10th at the Centro Citibanamex Exhibition Center in Mexico City. Leading Chinese automaker Dongfeng Motor Corporation showcase not just its DONGFENG HUGE vehicles, but also engines, electric motors, axles, and a variety of other components. This comprehensive display highlighted Dongfeng’s manufacturing quality, research and development prowess, and robust service systems.
With a 30-year history, INA PAACE Automechanika Mexico has become a major benchmark and model within the industry. During the event, a Mexican car dealer, Fausto Gomez, struck up a friendly conversation with staff at the Dongfeng Motor Corporation booth. “Chinese automakers consistently deliver what we need,” He noted that the arrival of Dongfeng Motor Corporation is beneficial for local consumers. “Reliability and affordability are top priorities for drivers,” Gomez noted. Echoing this sentiment, José Morales, an auto dealer from Guadalajara (Mexico’s second-largest city), observed, “Dongfeng’s products offer higher configurations at the same price point.” He expressed his willingness to consider future collaborations with such a Chinese automotive brand.
Pamela Arciniega, a female dealer, was particularly impressed with the aesthetics of the DONGFENG HUGE. After a test drive and evaluating the vehicle’s performance, she concluded that this new model from Dongfeng Motor Corporation is highly competitive in terms of price, power, and technology. “I am very willing to recommend this car to my customers,” she said.
The Dongfeng Huge boasts Dongfeng’s Mach dual-engine hybrid system, delivering lightning-fast acceleration with a response time of just 0.15 seconds. It’s also packed with cutting-edge features like an AR projection sensor tailgate, a 540-degree ultra-clear panoramic camera system, and the latest-generation WINDLINK OS intelligent cockpit. The vehicle is spacious, fully equipped, easy to drive, and fuel-efficient. At this expo, the model attracted the attention of car dealers from Mexico, Venezuela, Panama, and other countries. They generally agreed that in Central America, where SUVs are popular, this model is well-suited for family use, offering an excellent travel experience.
“Last year, I missed out on a deal because I couldn’t find this exact component,” said Ducel González, a Mexican-based used car dealer, gesturing towards a car reducer displayed by Dongfeng. “If I had known the variety of Chinese auto parts was as extensive as your vehicle selection, I could have avoided that.”
