Dongfeng, Forthing, Voyah in Lithuania 2026 — Prices & Reviews

Quick Answer

Dongfeng group cars have been available in Lithuania since 2025: Forthing T5 EVO from €28,900, Voyah Free from €45,000, Dongfeng Box from €22,000. This is one of China's largest automotive groups, manufacturing everything from budget city EVs to premium SUVs with a 7-year warranty.

Dongfeng Group — What Is It?

Dongfeng Motor Corporation is the second-largest carmaker in China, founded in 1969. The group produces over 3 million cars per year and owns numerous brands:

Important to know: Dongfeng is not an unknown factory — it's a state-owned corporation with 55+ years of experience that has manufactured cars in partnership with Nissan, Honda, Peugeot, Citroen and Kia. Forthing platforms are based on Mitsubishi Outlander technology.

Forthing — The Most Popular Dongfeng Brand in Lithuania

Forthing T5 EVO

The bestseller in the Baltics. A compact SUV and direct competitor to the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage.

What you get in the base version:

• 10.25" multimedia screen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
• Adaptive cruise control
• Lane-keeping assist
• Leather interior (higher trim)
• LED headlights
• Rear camera with parking sensors

Pros:

• Price is €5,000-8,000 lower than Tucson/Sportage with similar equipment
• 7-year warranty — the longest on the market (Hyundai/Kia offer 5-7 years)
• Spacious interior, good build quality for the mid-range segment
• Engine based on Mitsubishi 4B40 engine technology

Cons:

• Front-wheel drive only — no AWD option
• Resale value in Lithuania is still unknown (brand is too new)
• Service only through the official dealer — independent workshops lack experience
• Real fuel consumption higher than advertised

Forthing Friday

A pickup truck competing with the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger — but at half the price.

Attractive for business owners and farmers — the Hilux costs €45,000+, while the Forthing Friday offers similar capability for €32,000.

Forthing U-Tour

A family MPV with 7 seats — niche but relevant for large families.

Voyah — Dongfeng's Premium Brand

Voyah is Dongfeng's premium electric brand, positioned against NIO, XPeng and European premium EVs.

Voyah Free

A large electric SUV — a direct competitor to the BMW iX3 and Mercedes EQC.

The EREV version — a unique solution: it has a full electric drivetrain plus a small petrol engine that works as a generator. In the city, you drive on electricity (150+ km), and for longer journeys the generator charges the battery. No range anxiety — 860 km combined range.

What you get:

• Air suspension with automatic height adjustment
• Full leather interior, ventilated seats
• 12.3" + 15.6" screens
• HUD (head-up display)
• L2+ autopilot system
• Harman Kardon sound system (19 speakers)

Comparison with competitors:

The Voyah Free costs €15,000-20,000 less than the BMW iX3 or Mercedes EQC — with better equipment and a longer warranty.

Voyah Dream

A premium MPV/minivan — a unique segment where European manufacturers are barely present.

Dongfeng (Main Brand) — City Electric Cars

Dongfeng Box (Nammi Box)

The cheapest electric car in Europe — a direct competitor to the Dacia Spring and Fiat 500e.

Who it's for: a second family car for the city, daily trips up to 250 km, students, retirees. €22,000 for an EV with 310 km range — that's the best price in Europe. If you're also considering a used EV, check our used electric car prices guide 2026 with models starting from €7,500.

Dongfeng Shine

A compact electric crossover — between the Nammi Box and Voyah Free.

7-Year Warranty — What Does It Mean in Practice?

The Dongfeng group's 7-year / 150,000 km warranty is the longest in the mass-market car segment:

Battery warranty (EV models): 8 years / 200,000 km — that's the market standard.

What Does the Warranty Cover?

• All manufacturing defects — engine, transmission, electronics
• Corrosion (perforation) — up to 12 years
• Battery (EV) — 8 years / 200,000 km, minimum 70% capacity

What the Warranty Does NOT Cover?

• Normal wear (brakes, tyres, wipers)
• Accidents, damage, improper use
• Modifications — if you installed non-manufacturer parts

Service and Parts in Lithuania

Official Dealers

Dongfeng group cars in Lithuania are serviced by official representatives — a showroom and service centre in Vilnius. Expansion to Kaunas and Klaipeda is underway.

Parts Availability

This is one of the most important questions when buying a Chinese car. The reality in 2026:

• Common parts (filters, brakes, pads) — available in 3-7 days
• Specific parts (body panels, electronics) — 2-4 weeks (sourced from China)
• Warranty repairs — through the official dealer, parts free of charge

For comparison: 5 years ago, Hyundai/Kia parts in Lithuania weren't instant either. Now they're available within a day. Dongfeng is following the same path, but the process is still in its early stages.

Service Costs

Forthing service costs 15-25% less than Korean/Japanese cars — parts are cheaper, labour is similar.

Reviews: What Do Owners Say?

Forthing T5 EVO — Owner Opinions

Positive reviews:

• "For the price — incredible equipment. Apple CarPlay, leather interior, adaptive cruise — a Tucson with the same would cost €8,000 more"
• "After a year of use — no problems. Engine runs quietly, gearbox shifts smoothly"
• "Boot is spacious, kids in the back seats fit comfortably"

Negative reviews:

• "Resale value is unclear — when I want to sell in 3 years, how much will it be worth?"
• "Navigation sometimes misleads — better to use the phone"
• "Plastics are harder than Hyundai, but for this price — that's normal"

Voyah Free — Owner Opinions

Positive:

• "BMW quality for almost half the BMW price"
• "Air suspension — love it. Rides like a cloud"
• "EREV version — genius. Electric in the city, no worries for road trips"

Negative:

• "Software is sometimes slow — updates do improve it"
• "Very few people know this brand — have to explain constantly"

Dongfeng vs BYD vs MG — Comparison

Forthing T5 EVO — best choice if you want a petrol SUV with Chinese price advantage. BYD — if you want an EV with the best battery. MG — a compromise between price and brand recognition.

Is It Worth Buying a Dongfeng Group Car?

We recommend if:

• You're looking for more equipment at a lower price — that's the main Chinese strength
• You want a long warranty (7 years) — less risk
• You're not afraid of a new brand — Dongfeng has 55+ years of history, just not in Europe
• You're considering an electric car — Voyah Free and Dongfeng Box are competitive offerings. Also read is it worth buying an electric car in Lithuania 2026
• You plan to keep the car long-term (5+ years) — resale value matters less

NOT suitable if:

• Resale value retention matters to you — Chinese cars are still new in Lithuania
• You need instant parts availability — 2-4 weeks for specific parts
• You want AWD / 4x4 — the Forthing T5 EVO only has front-wheel drive
• You value brand prestige — "Dongfeng" doesn't yet inspire the same trust as "Toyota"
• You're buying used — there are practically no used ones since the brand is new in Lithuania
