The Dongfeng Citroen joint venture, which was established in 1992 by Dongfeng and the PSA Group, is the owner of the Dongfeng Fukang name and produced a variety of Citroen vehicles under the Fukang moniker. Their latest car, the Peugeot 408-based Dongfeng Fukang ES600 electric sedan is offered in China for $23,170 USD.

Since it is built on the 408 sedans, its dimensions—4750 mm long, 1920 mm wide, 1518 mm tall, and a 2730 mm wheelbase—are nearly identical to that of the sedan. It is 130 mm taller than the 408, as you can see.
