As the main force of ordinary family models, compact SUVs are a market that every car company will inevitably compete for. Today, Uncle Che chose the domestic rookie who has just entered this battlefield this year - Pentium T55, and the challenge to accept it is the compact SUV veteran who has completed the redesign - Chery Tiggo 7, so is it afraid of fist less strong, or is the old ginger more spicy? Let's take a look.
The 2021 Besturn T55 was launched in April this year, and the new car was launched with a total of 6 configurations, with a price range of 98,900 to 126,900 yuan. Chery Tiggo 7 Super Edition model was also launched in April this year, the new car currently has two configurations, the price range of 10.99 ~ 118,900 yuan. Next, the car uncle will choose the top version of the two cars for comparison, and the price of the naked car is not much different after the terminal discount between the two.
Exterior design
Pentium T55 adopts a new family design language, the square front of the car with a large size of the net, the style is solemn, the rain curtain type of the net structure plus the Y-type headlights, the sense of fashion is also just right. Among them, the headlights are one of the most eye-catching design elements in the front part of the new car, the shape is inspired by the ancient weapon Go, the folded line strip is lighted after the visual recognition is high, and it also has the functions of adaptive far and near light, automatic headlights, and headlight height adjustment.
The overall exterior design of the Tiggo 7 maintains the shape of the old model, and the whole vehicle adopts an exclusive kit, which includes a high-gloss black front grille, fog light areas on both sides, etc. The front face of the new car is partially matched with a trapezoidal forward grille, the internal dot matrix trim plate is gradually progressive from large to small, with a good sense of extension, the flat headlight group on both sides is connected with the middle network, and the LED light source is used in terms of lighting, but the function is compared to the Pentium T55 lacks adaptive far and near light.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the Pentium T55 are 4475× 1850×1625 mm, and the wheelbase is 2650 mm. The body side design of the new car is relatively full, the suspension roof with the chrome decoration of the D-pillar makes the whole side of the body exquisite, and the 18-inch rim equipped at the bottom is of moderate size and the style is a durable type.
The specific length, width and height of the Tiggo 7 are 4500×1842×1746 mm, and the wheelbase is 2670 mm, which has a slight advantage in terms of body length, height and wheelbase level. The exterior mirrors on the side of the new model body, the roof luggage rack and other parts have also been bright black treatment, and the bottom of the car is also equipped with red anti-friction strips and brake calipers, which have a good contrast effect.
The lines of the rear part of the Pentium T55 are relatively sharp and three-dimensional, the taillight style echoes the headlights, and the middle part is connected by the trim panels, extending the lateral visual effect of the rear. The word galloping on the tail mark is very uplifting, which is more characteristic than the previous English logo.
The rear design of the Tiggo 7 is consistent with the old model, the taillights adopt a penetrating design, the internal structure of the flat light group is very exquisite, and the slender light strips are gathered to the middle part, and the visual recognition after lighting is high. In addition, the rear enveloping structure of the new car is very layered, and the exhaust is also a bilateral double-out layout.
Interior design
Pentium T55 car inner hugging center console plus double screen is the mainstream design nowadays, and the car uses a variety of trim panels for embellishment, the visual effect is relatively good, but the car is relatively general in terms of materials, the soft material used in the center console is not much, the touch is not exquisite and advanced. The two-frame steering wheel directly in front of the new owner's drive feels stiff and is relatively well sized. The touch LCD screen measures 12.3 inches, and features satellite navigation, Bluetooth car phone, voice recognition control, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, etc., and supports the optional version of facial recognition.
The layout of the Tiggo 7 interior has not changed, the red and black color scheme of the interior looks more sporty, and the layout of the entire cockpit is simple and stylish, with no superfluous design. The new model can be seen everywhere in the piano paint material, although the visual effect is outstanding, but it is easy to become a fingerprint collector, daily is also difficult to take care of, the car uncle believes that in this regard, Tiggo 7 still needs to be improved. The new car is equipped with a 10.25-inch touch LCD screen on the center console, which has more mobile phone interconnection mapping than the Pentium T55 in terms of functions.
The Pentium T55 interior seats are wrapped in imitation leather fabric, and the functions support the two-way adjustment of the main driver's seat height/ two-way adjustment of the waist support, the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, the heating of the front seat, and the memory of the driver's seat electric seat. The front seats of the new car are relatively wide, the internal padding is moderately soft and hard, and the overall comfort performance is good.
The Tiggo 7 interior seats are also wrapped in imitation leather fabrics, and there are more electric adjustments in the passenger seat than the Pentium T55 in terms of function, but the memory of the driver's seat power seat is missing. The new car's front seats are filled with thick padding and the length of the seat cushions provide better leg support for front passengers.
The rear seat padding in the Pentium T55 car is slightly harder, the seats on both sides have a certain inverted, the wrapping feeling is good, the middle position of the platform is quite flat, and there is no problem for adults to ride, but the middle part of the car does not match the independent headrest, and the safety needs to be improved.
