The first domestic car in China has six seats.

1In April, 958, the first domestically produced car in China history was born in FAW, and it was named "Dongfeng", which originated from Chairman Mao's famous judgment on the world situation at that time: "Dongfeng overwhelmed the west wind". The domestic CA-7 1 "Dongfeng" brand car was successfully trial-produced in the machine shop and officially rolled off the assembly line. The production number is CA-7 1, where CA is the code of FAW, 7 is the code of the car, and 1 indicates the first car. Although the original design was based on imitation policy, the prototype still retains many national styles. The car is a six-seat streamlined body, the upper part is silver gray and the lower part is purple red. It is equipped with hot and cold air. Lantern is a palace lantern with national style. The front and upper parts of the range hood are decorated with a small golden dragon. The engine has a maximum power of 70 HP, a maximum speed of 128 km and a fuel consumption of 9- 10 liter per 100 km. But there is only one Dongfeng brand car actually produced, and it is now in the FAW Automobile Museum.

1958 On May 2 1 day, Dongfeng Motor was sent to Zhongnanhai, and Chairman Mao carefully examined Dongfeng Motor parked on the lawn of Huairentang. And said that world-famous sentence: "get on the car we made ourselves!" "

Unfortunately, because it is the first time to build a car and the technology is not mature, Dongfeng Motor often breaks down. In the end, there was no mass production, but it provided very valuable experience for Hongqi, which went offline one month later.
