"I have a car" original test report: GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard has attracted a lot of attention since its launch, and its design in the interior and exterior trim parts is very flamboyant, which can indeed see the degree of official intentions. But as a model that focuses on sports, the standard for measuring it is not only the appearance, but also the performance performance, and our content will be a detailed test of the car to see if it is a "vain watch" flower shelf, or can "real knife real gun" hard steel competitors.
In the anecdote, GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is jokingly called "Little AMG", and some auto media teachers say that this is the cheapest domestic performance car, the official 100 km acceleration is less than 7 seconds, so how much can it actually run?
In this issue, we tested the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard for the 2021 270T Shadow Leopard J16 edition, priced at 128,000 yuan, the car is equipped with a 1.5T engine, the maximum power is 177 horsepower (130kW), the maximum torque is 270 Nm, and the whole series is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and the official 100 km/h acceleration is 6.95 seconds.
The test drive model featured the Catti GitiComfort F22 tires, which were quiet and comfortable, with both front and rear tires in 225/45 R18. GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard can start with catapult at 2100rpm, but the slip is very serious at the beginning, and the final measurement score is 7.62 seconds, which is still a certain discrepancy compared to the official acceleration score.
In addition, the maximum G value of the car when starting is 0.6G, from stationary to floor oil after starting there will be a slight acceleration push back feeling, acceleration to the middle of the power actual feeling is slack, but the overall sense of acceleration to meet the usual daily travel is no problem.
And it should be noted that the final test result of 7.62 seconds is the result of our empty spare tire, which is not similar to the official result, on the one hand, in addition to the tire is not Michelin PS4 (optional), on the other hand, the transmission problem, whether the car is S gear or paddle, the gear change speed is slow, and especially in the case of daily driving in the case of a large angle throttle input power request under the feet, its overall downshift is also very slow, the gearbox needs to hesitate, Therefore, the program logic of the gearbox can only be said to be general.
GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard's brake performance is still good, in the right brake braking process, this time our test drive final braking stop performance of 37.35 meters, even compared to our previous measurement of Lynk & Co 02hb as long as 33 meters of the performance is still a certain gap, but considering the price and positioning, shadow leopard's brake distance performance to cope with the city is enough. In addition, it is worth noting that the two-color antler wheel rim with yellow caliper cover of the car does look good, but the caliper cover will theoretically affect the brake heat dissipation effect.
Shadow Leopard this car suspension adjustment is no problem, the suspension has support and tenacity, in the full braking process can also be pulled to a certain extent by the body, but Giti tires are not very smart, and the brake foot feeling is also soft, subjective always feel a little untenable.
"I have a car" summary: The sporty and personality appearance constitutes the competitiveness of GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, although the car is not a performance car in the actual sense, but the results of more than 7 seconds to break 100 plus a good chassis adjustment, as the first sports car for young people, we think it is still good.
