After becoming a new "Made in Sichuan" car brand, Kaiyi Automobile is accelerating its own transformation pace, when many people are waiting for a weighty product to arrive, Kaiyi still chose a more people-friendly way to seize market share, and this car product that was once again put on the "price butcher" hat is Kaiyi Xuandu.
Xuandu, positioned in the compact sedan market, is priced at 67,800 yuan, which is already lower than the average level of the same level of market segments, and even can't afford a Small Market Vios and Yuena. Can it be called a "price butcher" just because it is sold cheaply? No, no, no, Xuandu has an advantage this time is not only the price.
We start from the design, we can see that Xuandu in the front face design does not use the conventional style that can be seen in the current market, the main grille is visually divided into two layers, the body panel runs through it, and the actual air hole area is covered by a suspended dot matrix net, with the colorful metal spraying of some models, the style can provide a high degree of personality recognition.
At the same time, the lower stomata structure also provides a more obvious movement front lip design, it will form a visual connection with the longitudinal stomata hidden in the layered structure at the edge, plus there are also LED daytime driving light bands hidden here, the internal black substrate trim, and the visual grade is not low.
From the rear of the side, the smart waistline runs through the door handles and taillights from the side fender plate nameplate; at the rear we see a sharp and sharp ducktail with a bilateral polygon exhaust pipe in the rear bumper, and its large-area package can effectively improve the passage of multiple road conditions.
But to say that the most brilliant design of the rear of the car is still in its taillights, although the taillights of the all-black disposal have not completed the penetration of the left and right sides, but whether it is the vehicle brand logo embedded in the middle, or its flat and slender style, it seems very personal. More importantly, this slender taillight is flat and uneven, and the whole has formed a three-dimensional bulge, which is extremely beneficial for its illumination in different directions, taking into account this practical value in addition to the vision, and the appearance of Xuandu is really not just as simple as looking good.
Then we entered the cabin, and from the center console with its center of gravity deflection, we could feel Kaiyi's intention for Xuandu's car.
10.25-inch floating touch screen first appeared at the top of the center console, it is equipped with the intelligent car networking system in addition to supporting CarPlay mobile phone interconnection, in the basic design has provided a more exquisite interface UI than the smart phone, including QQ music, cool music, AutoNavi map and other most practical infotainment functions on the smartphone, are also implemented in this set of car machines.
At the same time, through the Kaiyi Zhixing application, Xuandu also supports remote control, monitoring and positioning functions, while its voice recognition control covers multimedia, navigation and calling, and entertainment and practicality are integrated.
In addition to the main hardware for infotainment, Xuandu offers a number of accessories in the cabin that can directly optimize the driving, riding and using experience.
In terms of driving, Xuandu has a panoramic image system with rear parking radar, and provides 6 airbags and cruise control system for the whole car; in terms of riding, Xuandu's leather seats also provide front heating and rear cup holders, rear independent air conditioning outlet design; in terms of car use, Xuandu includes multi-colored atmosphere lights, one-key lifting of the whole window, electric exterior mirrors, electric sunroofs and front wireless charging plates, etc., of which the whole car 6 airbags, wireless charging, front heating and atmosphere lights are rare in this level. It's not easy to find a short board in it.
At the same time, we also found that although Xuandu is a compact sedan with a lower price, its size and space have not been frustrated by this, but have reached the A+ level.
Xuandu's length, width and height reached 4666/1825/1483mm, and the wheelbase was 2700mm, especially the wheelbase of 2.7 meters has surpassed many competitors of the same price, including Binrui, Emgrand and MG. Under such a size specification, Xuandu can provide nearly 1 punch of head space for experiencers with a height of 176cm, and at the same time, its leg space in the back row can also be in 2 fists, with the design of the full headrest, the overall body comfort is indeed very "A+".
Solve the design, configuration, space, Kaiyi in the Xuandu mechanical structure is also enough to ben, it shares a 1.5T turbo engine for the whole series in the power hardware, its maximum power is 115kW, peak torque is 230N·m, to know that many models in the same class either only provide self-priming machine, or provide 1.5L, 1.5T two options, and like Xuandu such a time is really rare. In terms of transmission, the 5MT or CVT is available to match the 1.5T engine, and the combined fuel consumption of the TWO NEDC is 6.6L/100km and 6.9L/100km.
In addition, don't look at the xuandu price is very low, the power is hard enough, but it does not save costs on the suspension, in addition to the front axle has a McPherson-style independent suspension, its rear axle is also a multi-link independent suspension, which is usually a 100,000+ class car to obtain hardware specifications.
Write at the end
Although we have not yet been able to drive Xuandu to the long-mileage test, from the design that can first attract consumers to the cabin space and power hardware that can convince consumers, Kaiyi Xuandu has come up with a hard performance beyond our imagination this time, especially after the ultra-low price threshold of 65,800 yuan and the 1.5T+ are suspended before and after, it is really difficult not to be impressed.
