Review of the Dongfeng Aeolus Huge - Redefining the Compact SUV Segment
Oct 31,2025
Performance ≠ Comfort? The Aeolus Huge Dares to Challenge That Notion.
Many believe that performance-oriented vehicles must compromise on comfort — yet the Dongfeng Aeolus Huge proves that both can coexist in harmony. Its comfort-tuned suspension effectively absorbs and neutralizes major road vibrations without unnecessary rebound. When passing over speed bumps or uneven surfaces, the vehicle responds crisply, maintaining a composed and stable posture. This smooth, refined driving feel defines the Huge's premium ride quality.

Adding to the experience, the seat comfort rivals Nissan's "sofa-like" reputation, while the 2,825 mm wheelbase provides generous cabin space. In fact, as a compact SUV, the Huge's dimensions — 4720 × 1910 × 1702 mm — even exceed those of some midsize SUVs.
The Mach Dual Hybrid system also shines in everyday fuel efficiency. Across mixed driving conditions — city, highway, and express routes — the Huge Mach Dual Hybrid delivers an impressive 4.8 L/100 km, achieving the perfect balance between performance and economy.

In addition, the Huge stands out with its exceptional NVH performance (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness). Below 20 km/h, the vehicle runs in pure electric mode, ensuring complete silence. When the engine engages, noise remains remarkably low unless under heavy acceleration, maintaining a quieter cabin than most competitors. Soft-touch materials cover 82% of the interior, while over 140 noise insulation and damping treatments further enhance refinement. Real-world tests record just 55 dB during initial acceleration, offering a serene and comfortable driving experience that truly elevates the class.
Smart Cabin + Advanced Tech — This Is What a Truly Modern SUV Looks Like
As new-generation automakers capture attention with cutting-edge intelligence, smart technology has become the core battlefield among car manufacturers — particularly for Chinese brands pushing rapid advancements in vehicle intelligence. The Dongfeng Aeolus Huge is no exception. It features a dual-screen cockpit design with a smooth, high-resolution central display, offering a seamless and intuitive user experience that fully reflects the standards of a modern intelligent cabin.

At its core is the highly advanced WindLink OS smart cockpit system, supporting FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) updates for continuous evolution and feature upgrades. The Huge also integrates OMS (Occupant Monitoring System) and gesture control, delivering an intelligence experience on par with leading EV startups.

A standout feature is its AR projection sensor tailgate — the only one of its kind in the segment and price range. Simply tap your foot on the ground projection, and the tailgate opens or closes automatically, offering unmatched convenience in daily use.
In terms of driver assistance, the Dongfeng Aeolus Huge again takes the lead. It's equipped with the only quasi–Level 3 autonomous driving system in its class, performing with stability on highways and urban expressways. Additionally, it offers 27 intelligent driving assistance features, the most among its competitors, significantly reducing the risk of traffic accidents.

One particularly impressive function is the FAPA remote automatic parking system, which enables precise parking even in tight spaces — a boon for novice drivers and a testament to Huge's intelligent design.
Overall, the Dongfeng Aeolus Huge delivers a comprehensive upgrade in performance, comfort, and intelligence, redefining what a compact SUV can offer — and breaking the long-held notion that performance must come at the expense of comfort.
