Dongfeng’s Deira Takeover – The New Hub of Innovation

The "Giant of the East" has officially planted its flag in the heart of Dubai. The all-new Dongfeng Showroom in Deira (Al Ittihad Road), launched in partnership with the legendary M.A.H.Y. Khoory Automotive, is more than just a place to buy a car—it’s a high-tech sanctuary for drivers who want "Supercar Tech" without the "Supercar Price."

From the historic streets of Deira, Dongfeng is proving that the future of the UAE’s roads is bold, aggressive, and incredibly smart. Here is the "Drive With Omar" exclusive tour of what’s waiting for you inside.


1. The Lineup: From Daily Sleek to Off-Road Freak

Walking into the Deira showroom feels like stepping into a curated gallery of the future. The stars of the show are four flagship models built specifically for our region:

  • The SHINE & SHINE MAX: Sporty sedans that punch way above their weight. The Shine Max delivers 190 HP and is packed with a 12.3-inch curved display—all for a price that makes you double-check the sticker (Starting from AED 64,900).

  • The MAGE SUV: This is the one everyone is talking about. It’s a futuristic SUV powered by the Mach Power 1.5T engine, delivering a smooth 204 HP. It looks like a spaceship and drives like a dream on the E11 (Starting from AED 77,900).

  • The AX7: The ultimate family cruiser with a focus on cabin space and European-inspired suspension tuning (Starting from AED 68,900).

2. The "Hidden Boss": M-HERO 1

While the sedans are the volume kings, the M-HERO 1 (available via special order/showcase) is the beast that haunts your dreams.

  • The Specs:1,000+ HP and 1,400 Nm of torque.

  • The Crab Walk: Like its name suggests, it can move diagonally. It has a turning radius of just 5.1m—smaller than most compact cars—despite its massive size.

  • Fording: It can wade through 900mm of water. Ready for the rain? This thing is ready for a flood.

3. "Drive With Omar" Showroom Secrets

  • The Location: Strategically placed on Al Ittihad Road (Al Khabaisi, Deira). It’s accessible, it’s grand, and it features a dedicated delivery bay that makes you feel like royalty when you collect your keys.

  • The 3S Commitment: It’s not just a showroom. It’s a 3S Facility (Sales, Service, and Spare Parts). M.A.H.Y. Khoory has backed this up with a massive 40,000 sq. ft. service center in Al Quoz to ensure your Dongfeng stays on the road forever.

  • The Mach-Power Tech: Ask the sales team about the Mach-E electric drive system. It’s the same tech that has won "China Heart" top-ten engine awards for its thermal efficiency.

4. Why Deira is the Move

Opening in Deira isn't accidental. Dongfeng is targeting the heart of Dubai’s business and family community.

  • Warranty: Most models come with a massive 5-year / 150,000 km warranty.

  • Tech for All: Even the entry-level Shine (starting around AED 49,900) comes with a high-definition 13-inch screen and a 360-degree camera. You literally cannot find more tech for less money in the UAE right now.


DWO PRO TIP: Ask for a test drive of the Mage in "Sky Blue". The way the light hits the aerodynamic lines in the Deira sun is something you have to see in person to believe.
