Forthing SX5G

What is the Forthing SX5G?

The SX5G is an electric SUV in Forthing’s passenger-car range. Its raised SUV body gives it the shape and everyday purpose of a family car, while its electric drivetrain sets it apart from the petrol and LPG versions recorded for other Forthing models. The SX5G name also appears as the generation code for the related T5 Evo model family, which has been offered in several forms in different markets.

The first generation is listed from 2020 onward and carries the SX5G code. It remains the current generation. The wider T5 Evo family has also been marketed under other names, including Friday in Europe, but the SX5G is identified separately in the EU registration figures. Forthing is a passenger-car marque of Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor, part of the wider Dongfeng group.

Electric power

The EU registrations show two electric power outputs: 80 kW (109 PS) and 150 kW (204 PS). Both are battery-electric versions, so they use electric motors rather than petrol, LPG or hybrid engines. The difference in listed power gives the range more than one performance level, though the figures here do not specify battery capacity or driving range.

How efficient is the Forthing SX5G?

European ratings use WLTP, and some older vehicles have NEDC figures; US ratings use EPA procedures, while Canadian figures use the 5-cycle test. Those methods differ, and their results should not be treated as directly equivalent.

Where was the Forthing SX5G sold?

Official EU registration figures show market activity from 2024–2025, with 35 registrations across the two electric power outputs. The 150 kW (204 PS) version accounts for 25 registrations, while the 80 kW (109 PS) version accounts for 10.
