On October 23, the Dongfeng Aeolus L8+ was officially launched, with a limited-time trade-in price of 129,900 yuan to 159,900 yuan. Witnessed by a CCTV live broadcast, the Aeolus L8+ went through a series of tests including consecutive hairpin turns, cliffside parking, livestock and cattle blocking the road, washboard roads, and passing oncoming trucks, completing the extreme challenge of the 108 bends of the intelligent driving Everest with zero takeovers throughout the entire process. Dongfeng gives its best intelligent driving technology to Aeolus, and the Aeolus L8+ is the world's first to feature the Tianyuan Intelligent Driving T800, and is equipped with the world's highest 4-speed Mach hybrid system, integrating the family's class-leading comfort genes, achieving "dual flagship of intelligent driving and comfort."
The strongest intelligent driving under 150,000 with the only 700TOPS computing power
In terms of hardware, the Aeolus L8+ is equipped with the same NVIDIA Thor-U 700TOPS flagship chip as Xiaomi Pengcheng, making it the only strongest intelligent driving SUV under 150,000 equipped with 700TOPS computing power. This computing power has reached 3.5 times the mainstream level in its class, capable of meeting continuous future software iterations and ensuring it will not become outdated for 5 years.
In terms of algorithms, the Tianyuan Intelligent Driving T800 integrates the industry's top Momenta R7 world model, one of the strongest current intelligent driving algorithms, with capabilities comparable to Huawei Qiankun ADS Max. Currently, only mid-to-high-end products such as Volkswagen ID.ERA 9X, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Cadillac XT5 PHEV are among the first to be equipped with the Momenta R7 world model, and some models still need to wait for OTA updates before fully unleashing the complete capabilities of R7. The Aeolus L8+ is among the world's first production models with the complete Momenta R7, requiring no OTA and being directly available on the vehicle.
Not only that, the Aeolus L8+ also relies on its 700TOPS ultra-strong computing power to successfully integrate the four major domains of intelligent driving, chassis, powertrain, and intelligent cockpit, creating the industry's first intelligent driving whole-vehicle calibration, with no drag during acceleration, more linear deceleration, and more precise steering, solving the difficulty of motion sickness in intelligent driving.
Based on three flagship strengths, the Aeolus L8+ supports true door-to-door intelligent driving, capable of autonomously entering and exiting parking lots, starting intelligent driving with one click from the departure parking space, and automatically parking in the destination parking space, with zero takeovers throughout the entire process; it supports remote parking, self-drawn line parking, and cross-floor memory parking of up to 3 kilometers and up to 7 floors, capable of parking in ultra-narrow spaces, dead-end spaces, and unmarked spaces—if there is no parking space, it can draw its own line and park, making it the number one parking system in the 150,000 class.
At the same time, the Aeolus L8+ also supports full-domain mapless NOA, eliminating dependence on high-precision maps, and can drive wherever there is a road. It can not only achieve highway and urban mapless NOA, but more notably, it can also achieve full-scenario intelligent driving in remote rural areas and the wilderness, hailed by the industry as the Aeolus L8+'s exclusive "rural NOA," which also makes the Aeolus L8+ the safest SUV for long-distance travel.
In terms of intelligent driving assurance, the Aeolus L8+ provides comprehensive worry-free service coverage for urban NOA, intelligent parking, and highway NOA, fully safeguarding users' travel safety.
4-speed Mach hybrid, the SUV most suitable for long-distance travel
The Aeolus L8+ is also the SUV most suitable for long-distance travel. It is equipped with the world's highest 4-speed Mach hybrid system, with engine thermal efficiency as high as 45.18%, balancing power and fuel consumption. The 30.3kWh large-capacity battery achieves a CLTC pure electric range of 220km and a CLTC comprehensive range of over 1,500km, requiring no recharging from Chengdu to Lhasa.
Comfortable luxury cockpit upgraded again, with unconditional coverage for battery fire incidents
The Aeolus L8+ comfort experience is upgraded again, equipped with the "five luxury items": cloud-soft grand sofa, rear ceiling-mounted entertainment screen, rear heating and cooling box, aviation-style tray table, and 19-speaker WANOS panoramic sound audio system. At the same time, to enhance daily driving happiness, the new vehicle is also equipped with a heated capacitive steering wheel, upgraded driver and passenger seat memory, welcome, and ventilation functions, and heated seats throughout the front and rear rows, redefining the comfort standard of the 150,000 class.
The Aeolus L8+ is also equipped with a "zero formaldehyde" healthy cockpit certified by the China Automotive Technology and Research Center, safe for both elderly and children to ride in, with no traces of odor in the new car; combined with Dongfeng's latest Tianyuan OS 2.0, from physical experience to interaction, the whole family can enjoy a 300,000-class flagship experience.
Safety is the foundation of central SOE Dongfeng. The Aeolus L8+ Mach battery adopts 1200MPa military-vehicle-grade armored protection, with safety standards far exceeding the new national standard, undergoing rigorous testing without fire, leakage, or explosion, and also offers "unlimited to first owner, unlimited mileage" battery fire unconditional coverage assurance.
The Dongfeng Aeolus L8+ breaks the convention of "high-level equals high price," bringing intelligent driving experience comparable to 300,000+ yuan, comfort enjoyment comparable to 300,000+ yuan, and delivering top-level intelligent driving, class-leading comfort, the strongest hybrid, intelligent AI cockpit, and hardcore safety all at once to mainstream family SUV users, achieving the strongest intelligent driving in the 150,000 class, the most comfortable ride in the 150,000 class, the strongest hybrid in the 150,000 class, and the strongest AI cockpit in the 150,000 class—a true "dual flagship of intelligent driving and comfort" SUV. Its launch is a concentrated release of Dongfeng's technological strength, bringing good intelligent driving for the people truly into thousands of households, meeting more users' advanced needs for long-distance travel.
