What is the DFSK E5?
The E5 is a family SUV from DFSK, a Chinese maker whose passenger cars are also sold under the Fengon name. It appeared in the European Union in 2024 as a plug-in hybrid, with a hybrid version also represented in EU registration figures. The plug-in hybrid can use electric power for some driving when its battery is charged.
The E5 is the first generation of the model, listed from 2024 onward. It joins SUVs such as the Fengon 600 and Fengon 7 in DFSK’s passenger-car range, which includes both commercial and family vehicles.
Engines and power
EU versions use a 1.5-litre engine rated at 75 kW (102 PS). Both plug-in hybrid and hybrid versions appear in EU registration figures. A plug-in hybrid can be charged from an external power source; a hybrid manages its electric power as you drive.
Four versions are listed across 2024–2025. The most registered was the plug-in hybrid in 2025, followed by that version in 2024. The hybrid version also appears in the EU figures.
How economical is the DFSK E5?
The lowest official EU plug-in hybrid figure is 3.5 L/100 km on the WLTP test. This weighted figure assumes some driving takes place using electric power, so actual fuel use depends on charging and the journeys you make.
The E5 recorded 1,126 EU registrations across 2024–2025. WLTP is the European test procedure; fuel figures from other markets may use different methods.
