Dongfeng S30 hatch to be shown at Guangzhou Auto Show
Despite Dongfeng being a mass car producer for Honda, Kia, Nissan, and various other companies they’re a relative new comer to the world of self produced cars. Their first sedan was designed by the Italian firm DSG and reportedly rides on the Citroen ZX platform.
Despite its aging underneath, the S30 has struck a cord with buyers in second and third tier cities in China, and thanks to its 1.6L engine sales taxes are also low. Dongfeng are planning to launch the hatchback (spy pics above) version at this months Guangzhou Auto Show, and beleive it will get the same enthusiastic sales reception when it goes on sale towards the end of the year. Although the pictures of the upcoming S30 hatch are poor quality, you can easily tell that the hatchback will be similar in style to the Hyundai i10, although we will have to wait until the GZ show to see more, Dongfeng will apparently be showing off a hybrid version alongside the gasoline version.

What are we to gather from these photos? Turning the front wheels on an ugly car always manages to make it look a bit more photogenic. Are these photos trying to hide the real S30 hatchback? Let’s have a real good look at the side view.
Ah, so there is no (funny looking) S30 hatchback…..rather an H30, with much better views, gotten by fast forwarding.
