Starting from the brand launch, the Forthing or Fengxing brand products had always worn the Dongfeng logo, just like the majority of vehicle brands under the Dongfeng umbrella. On November 17 2020, the Forthing T5 EVO crossover was launched and at the press conference, Dongfeng Fengxing’s new Lion Logo was unveiled with the Forthing T5 EVO to be the first product to wear the updated badge. On June 10, 2021, the brand renewal conference of Dongfeng Fengxing was held in Shanghai, and Dongfeng Fengxing's first concept car dedicated to family mobility was unveiled alongside the official announcement of the new logo. The update is the brand-new logo of "Confidence, Fearlessness, and Bravery Forward" in the form of the Lion logo.[2]
Products of the Forthing brand include the Jingyi crossover SUV series[3] also known as Joyear for oversea markets,[4] the Jingyi S50 sedan and the S500 large multi-purpose vehicle,[5] as well as two types of vans, the Lingzhi and the CM7. Some of these models are also sold in Latin American markets such as Chile[6] and Peru under the brands Dongfeng, DFM or DFLZ.
