The United Kingdom has long been a bastion of automotive excellence, housing some of the world's most iconic SUV brands. From the rugged terrains of the Scottish Highlands to the bustling streets of London, the demand for versatile, safe, and technologically advanced SUVs has never been higher. As a premier SUV manufacturer and supplier in the United Kingdom, we understand that the British market is unique, characterized by a transition toward electrification and a high standard for interior craftsmanship.
Currently, the UK automotive sector is navigating a pivotal era. The government’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate is pushing manufacturers to accelerate their EV portfolios. While traditional British manufacturing hubs like Solihull and Sunderland continue to produce high volumes, there is a growing reliance on global supply chains to provide the technological components—specifically in battery management and AI-driven safety systems—that define modern SUVs.
Combining the robust engineering required for British countryside roads with the latest smart driving systems from global R&D centers.
With the 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel cars looming, we provide high-efficiency Electric and Hybrid SUV models that meet UK ULEZ requirements.
Our vehicles are designed to exceed Euro NCAP standards, ensuring maximum protection for families across the United Kingdom.
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co., Ltd. as one of the national large scale enterprises, is an auto limited company built by Liuzhou Industrial Holdings Corporation and Dongfeng Auto Corporation.
It covers an area of 2.13 million square meters and has developed the commercial vehicle brand “Dongfeng Chenglong” and the passenger vehicle brand “Dongfeng Forthing” with over 7,000 employees currently.
Its marketing and service network is throughout the whole country. A large number of products have been exported to more than 170 countries in Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa and Europe. By the chances of our overseas marketing developing, we’re warmly welcome our potential partners from all over the world to visit us.

The SUV segment remains the most popular vehicle category in the UK, accounting for over 40% of new car registrations. As a dedicated SUV supplier in the UK, we keep a close watch on these three defining trends:
British consumers are increasingly tech-savvy. They demand seamless smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto), AI-assisted parking, and over-the-air (OTA) updates. Our T5 EVO series embodies this trend, featuring intelligent driving systems that mitigate the fatigue of long motorway journeys on the M1 or M6.
The UK is one of the world's most significant RHD markets. Unlike some manufacturers who treat RHD as an afterthought, we engineer our SUVs from the ground up to ensure optimal ergonomic placement of controls, ensuring safety and comfort for British drivers.
There is a massive push for sustainable manufacturing. From using recycled materials in the interior cabin to high-efficiency motors in our Electric SUVs, we align with the UK’s goal of net-zero emissions. Our FRIDAY Electric SUV is specifically designed to provide a competitive range for both city driving in London and rural weekend getaways.
By focusing on these areas, we ensure our role as a top-tier supplier, providing vehicles that are not just modes of transport, but integrated lifestyle solutions for the British public.
Sync design and development process using IPD systems, ensuring quality and shortening the R&D cycle for rapid market deployment.
Understanding how an SUV is used in the UK is vital for any manufacturer. We tailor our offerings to fit the specific needs of various British demographics:
In cities like London, Bristol, and Birmingham, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Clean Air Zones (CAZ) make our Forthing FRIDAY Electric SUV and T5 HEV the perfect choices. They allow professionals to commute without daily charges while offering the elevated driving position and safety that only an SUV can provide.
For the family heading to the Lake District or the Cornish coast for the summer, the T5L SUV offers the necessary space for luggage, camping gear, and children. The 1.5T Turbo engine provides the torque needed for hilly terrains while maintaining fuel efficiency on the motorways.
SUVs are increasingly becoming a staple in corporate fleets across the UK due to their high residual value and versatility. Our vehicles offer competitive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), making them an attractive option for UK leasing companies and fleet managers looking for reliable, high-tech alternatives to traditional European brands.
Whether you are a dealership looking for high-quality SUV stock or a fleet manager transitioning to electric vehicles, we have the expertise and production capacity to meet your needs in the United Kingdom.
