Thanks for the overview of the Aeolus Huge Hybrid.. Just bought a 2025 in the Dominican Republic and enjoy every aspect of the vehicle.. taking a bit to get use to the electric motor when pulling it out of the driveway as no sound.. almost like someone pushing it, but very nice and quiet.. no complaints.. the chamaeleon color in blue/green/silver paint is amazing when its sitting and you look at it in different angles.

Thank you for the Review bro. For the first time, we have gotten an English Review on this. I am a Huge Aeolus Hybrid owner in Kigali, Rwanda and I love this car, four months in it now.

[@JohnAgustinScuderia458595]

Your Welcome! How's your ownership experience at the moment?

[@benjaminopondo3837]

1. I haven't found the 4.8L/100KM as promised. I am at 5.8-6.5L. 2. My model is missing a spare tire and the projected tailgate, step-on light. 3. Not all buttons on the steering wheel are functional. Some are inactive and I am told they cannot be upgraded. 4. I am still wondering how a luxury crossover SUV started selling out without Carplay, KZbin or even Google Maps in this 2023 and AI era. HOW? 5. A week ago, I noticed that the the fuel indicator doesn't show even when my tank is filled to the brim. 6. Can you do another review exclusively on SAFETY FEATURES and BODY STRENGTH compared to a TOYOTA RAV 4 or VW Teramont?

​@@benjaminopondo3837 i checked the local dealer in manila. and i cant seem to find the radio app in the infotainment system. how's the ADAS and suspension ?

[@mindfreeze0838]

​@@benjaminopondo3837i can give a possible reason for number 2 and number 4. These features are recent additions, Dongfeng is one of the big 4 state run Chineese Automakers and they made a big thing in the recent past about not using Apple Carplay and Android Auto, instead they used Baidu which works out great in China and the exports would just get some weird mirror system. Im surprised that they are offering it now which goes to show you how flexible they are. If anything you can probably check with your dealer to see if you can get it added in.

[@jhuang330]

i have owned the car for a month now i am currenty the first owner here in the philippines actually the apple car play is not factory they give you a device that will make it apple car play compatible . so for the car is great no issues i have already hit 5000 km on it

[@user-od1pl3cc4k]

Congratulations sir. The Huge looks good hope it performs even better. Eyeing to get one soon. Just waiting for more reviews. Regarding the device, is android auto available too?

[@dominicvelasco6615]

whats your fuel consumption in heavy traffic in manila ? also highway fc ? hows the headlight at night ? i was aking the local dealer if theres a car manual but they say theres none.

[@jhuang330]

I ask you about the performance of the engine How long distance can the electric engine drives the car only whwout the gas engine and how is the higher speed he drives the car only

[@manuelcamomot5152]

Nice looking cuv .

[@Andreswbf]

Thank you very much for your analysis. This model has recently arrived in Ecuador and I was looking for analysis on the vehicle's performance. I think it is a very good purchasing option. It would be interesting to see a longer test drive to analyze the fuel economy. I think I'll buy it. Has anyone else had any experience with this car?

[@JohnAgustinScuderia458595]

Not much yet. I'll be having a lendout sometime around and hopefully I'll compete at a Gymkhana/Autocross event!

[@kristhianguevara4681]

Hola, ya compraste el auto?

Will Dongfeng bring the M-Hero 917 here in the Philippines?

Too early to tell since they just launched here a month ago!

Hi! Forthing T5 EVO available ba?

Not yet but we will know soon at MIAS

[@user-od1pl3cc4k]

Hi do all models get the apple carplay and android auto?

[@JohnAgustinScuderia458595]

Not sure about the Forthing Friday but I'll have a lendout of that next week. The Nanobox doesn't have any of these but it has Bluetooth Mirror Link.

[@dominicvelasco6615]

​@@JohnAgustinScuderia458595 I checked out the Alabang dealer but they denied that the carlink device works with apple carplay and android auto. Did it really work with android auto ?

[@user-od1pl3cc4k]

It's just confusing because topgear's review of the Aeolus huge says it doesn't have apple carplay or androit auto. And thanks for the response! Awesome review.
