The first generation was originally sold as the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 (Chinese: 东风风光580) by DFSK Motor, then a joint venture between Dongfeng Motor and Sokon, from 2016. It was also rebadged under several names that translate to Fengguang in Chinese, including Glory for overseas markets. It was renamed to Fengon 580 in later model years after Seres fully acquired DFSK Motor.
The second generation was launched in 2021. A plug-in hybrid and range-extender variant called the Landian E5 (Chinese: 蓝电E5) was launched in 2023.

The Fengon 580 originally debuted at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show in China[2] and was launched to the Chinese market in June 2016.[3][4]
At launch, it was powered by a single 1.5-litre SFG turbocharged four-cylinder engine. A 1.8-litre SFG naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine was added later. Two transmission options were available: a 6-speed manual and a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
In Indonesia, the Fengon 580 is sold as the DFSK Glory 580 since 2018. It was first displayed at the 25th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in August 2017,[5][6][7] with a media test drive held on 28 November 2017.[8] It was showcased again at the 26th Indonesia International Motor Show in April 2018, with bookings opened at the same time. The Glory 580 was launched on 19 July 2018.[9][10][11] The Glory 580 is available in two trim levels: Comfort and Luxury. The Comfort trim is available with either a 1.5-litre turbo or a 1.8-litre engine, while the Luxury trim is only available with the 1.5-litre turbo. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual (Comfort 1.8 only), a 6-speed manual, and a CVT. The Indonesian-spec DFSK Glory 580 is locally assembled at DFSK's Cikande facility in Serang Regency, Banten, and has been exported to other markets since 2018, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Hong Kong. Due to falling demand, the Glory 580 was discontinued in Indonesia in late 2020 while export to other markets continued. For the Indonesian market, it was replaced by the Glory i-Auto.
In South Korea, the Fengon 580 was launched in 2018 as the DFSK G7, sold and distributed through DFSK's local distributor Shinwon CK Motors.
In Pakistan, the Fengon 580 was launched on 24 April 2019 as the DFSK Glory 580 under DFSK's local distributor Regal Automobiles Industries Limited.[12]
The Fengon 580 was launched in Russia as the DFM 580, announced in late 2018 and going on sale on 8 May 2019. It was also launched as the Glory 580 in Bangladesh in late 2018, in Nepal on 28 March 2019, in Hong Kong on 24 October 2019, in Morocco on 21 February 2020,[13] and in Brunei on 26 November 2020.
In the United Kingdom, the DFSK Glory 580 was imported in right-hand drive by Dorset-based distributor Sokon Automotive in 2020.[14]

DFSK Glory i-Auto
The DFSK Glory i-Auto is the flagship variant of the 580. It was first unveiled in Indonesia at the 27th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in July 2019 as a prototype, based on the facelifted 580 launched in China in 2018.[18][19][20] In March 2020, DFSK previewed the final production version of the Glory i-Auto, which sports the front fascia from the Chinese-market 580 Pro. It was launched in Indonesia on 22 July 2020 as the replacement of the Glory 580.[21][22] The Glory i-Auto was also sold in Brunei from 26 November 2020, and in Thailand from 1 September 2021 with units sourced from Indonesia.[23]
Unlike the standard 580, the Glory i-Auto features a voice command system named i-Talk. As of 2025, the system supports only the English language.[citation needed]

The second-generation Fengon 580 was launched in the Chinese domestic market, while the first-generation model continued to be produced as a more affordable option. Both generations were sold alongside each other, with the second-generation marketed as the New 580, and the first-generation offered as a more affordable special edition known as the Red Star Edition. The second-generation 580 features a dual-screen dashboard consisting of a 12.3-inch interconnected intelligent control screen and a 7-inch full LCD. The model is available with a 2+2+2 seating arrangement accommodating six passengers, and includes an eight-way electrically adjustable second-row seat with heating, ventilation, and a sleeping headrest.[26]
The updated 580 is equipped with a 1.5-litre TGDI engine developing a maximum power of 184 horsepower (187 PS; 137 kW) and peak torque of 300 N⋅m (31 kg⋅m; 221 lb⋅ft), meeting National 6b emissions standards. The gearbox is a 6-speed automatic transmission, and the claimed fuel consumption is 7.0 L/100 km (14.3 km/L; 40.4 mpg‑imp; 33.6 mpg‑US).
