The Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi S50 sedan debuted during the 2014 Beijing Auto Show and was launched on the China car market in later 2014.[2] The Fengxing Jingyi S50 compact sedan shares the same platform as the Dongfeng Fengshen A60 compact sedan with both cars based on the Nissan Sylphy produced by the Dongfeng-Nissan joint venture in China.[3]

The styling of the Fengxing Jingyi S50 at launch was heavily inspired by the Hyundai Sonata with similar front DRG designs despite being in a smaller segment.[4] The final production Fengxing Jingyi S50 was launched in September 2014 with prices starting from 69,900 yuan to 102,900 yuan. Engines includes a 118hp 1.5 liter engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and a 120hp 1.6 liter engine mated to a CVT. The 1.5 liter engine is a Mivec sourced from Mitsubishi, and the 1.6 liter engine is carried over from Nissan.[5]
