As a passenger car brand under Dongfeng Xiaokang, Dongfeng Fengguang has developed rapidly in the passenger car market in recent years, and many of its models have performed well in the market. Among them, the Performance of the Fengguang 580 launched in 2016 was particularly prominent, and it maintained a monthly sales of more than 10,000 for many consecutive months in the early stage of listing, and was regarded as a group of dark horses of its own brand SUVs. After 5 years, the scenery 580 ushered in a new generation, and the change of the new generation of scenery and new 580 can be described as a new look. So, what are the changes compared to the current model Scenery New 580? Today, we will answer the question for you through the comparison of the new and old models of the Scenery 580.
The Fengguang New 580 launched a total of 5 models, priced at a price range of 95,900-12.99 million yuan, and cancelled the 1.8-liter naturally aspirated model. The oldEr Vlmson 580 has 9 models, including the entry-level 1.8L naturally aspirated and 1.5T turbocharged. In addition to the changes in power, the new 580 has been fully upgraded from the exterior interior to the configuration.
Appearance: New design
The appearance is more youthful and stylish
The new 580 adopts a new family design language, and the grille shape that is somewhat similar to the Lexus LX is very atmospheric, which is much higher than the old small size shield front grille. The new 580 headlights have also adopted a new design, and the overall shape is sharper than the old model, especially after being lit at night, the recognition has been greatly improved. In addition, the most obvious change is that the new scenery 580 abandons the original Dongfeng logo and uses the "FENGON" letter as the logo before and after, which makes the temperament of the whole vehicle have been improved.
In terms of external configuration, the new scenery 580 has no change compared to the old model, automatic headlights and LED far and near lights are equipped, but the new car cancels the LED front fog lights on the old model, which brings inconvenience to driving safety in rain and fog weather, I don't know if this is a cost-saving way.
The side styling of the new 580 is more tense than the old model, and the concave waistline shape is more muscular. In addition, the Scenery New 580 also features a suspended roof design, with the D-pillar leaning forward and a dangling style feel. The length, width and height of the new car are 4720mm, 1865mm, 1710mm, and the wheelbase is 2785mm, which is upgraded compared to the old model (4700mm, 1845mm, 2780mm), only the height has been reduced, this is because the overall design of the body is lower and more dynamic. In addition to the 225/60 R17 and 225/55 R18 tires of the same specifications as the old model, the new Scenery 580 adds a larger 235/50 R19 specification and a beautiful multi-stripe wheel.
The overall design of the rear of the car has not changed much compared with the old model, the most obvious is that the new through tail lights have been replaced, and the internal structure of the light cavity has also changed. The word on the left is marked with a red "new" word highlighting that this is a new generation model. Below are still two fake exhaust trims, with only the right side of the true exhaust hidden under the car.
Interior: Fully upgraded
Stronger sense of technology
Compared with the appearance, the interior changes of the new 580 are more obvious, and the wrap-around dashboard design, coupled with the new Bordeaux red color scheme and large-area wood grain trim panels, the visual effect is more stretched and atmospheric than the old model, and the sense of luxury is stronger. The central control area of the new model has been redesigned, the sense of grade has been enhanced, and the one-button activation button located next to the gear handle of the old model has been moved to the right side of the steering wheel on the new model. The standard 7-inch full LCD instrument + 12.3-inch central control large screen also makes the sense of scientific and technological atmosphere in the car have been greatly improved. The two-frame steering wheel is more avant-garde than the old model, and the logo in the middle has also been replaced by the "FENGON" letter. In addition, the gear shift mechanism of the new model has been changed from the knob type of the old model to the electronic gear bar, which is stylish, the gear display is clear, and the texture and feel are good.
The most obvious change in the new model compared to the old model should be the 7-inch LCD + 12.3-inch central control screen of the joint screen design, the sense of science and technology is stronger, and it has achieved the standard of the whole series, which is still relatively rare at this price point. The 12.3-inch central control screen is equipped with Huawei's HiCar car system, and the currently supported mobile phones are more limited to Huawei's own models, and other brands of Android mobile phones are not supported for the time being, which seems to be some "cutting the door", which is not very convenient for consumers who use other models.
The new 580 changed the touch screen control air conditioning panel on the old model to a physical key control, and the practicality has been improved. The old air conditioner is controlled at the bottom of the central control screen, which is very inconvenient to operate, and this change can also be regarded as making up for the previous deficiency.
In terms of internal configuration, the gap between the new and old models is not large, but the new models have improved in terms of convenience configuration, and the new 580 has added facial recognition, gesture control and OTA upgrades, etc., which has gone up a step in the intelligent car experience. In addition, the new model also adds the wireless charging function of the front row mobile phone, which is to keep up with the trend.
Power: Power upgrade
Added 6AT gearbox
In terms of power, the new 1.5TGDI Miller cycle engine equipped with the new 580 can output a maximum power of 135 kW and a peak torque of 300 N?m, which is more powerful than the old engine. In the drivetrain, the engine is matched with a 6AT automatic transmission, which is more stable than the old CVT gearbox. In addition, the innovative structural design of the frame-type body and more than 20 NVH optimization measures make the engine work more smoothly and quietly.
Space: 2+2+2 seating layout as standard
The ride is more comfortable
In terms of seat layout, the new model comes standard with a "2+2+2" 6-seater space design layout, while the old model is a 2-3-2 7-seat layout, although there is also a 6-seat layout, but it needs to be installed. The seats of the new model are based on ergonomic principles and are made of ultra-slim leather, which comprehensively improves driving comfort. In addition, the second row of seats of the New Fengguang 580 can be adjusted in electric 8 directions, giving users more legroom.
In terms of storage space, the storage space of the front/rear door panels of the new model is basically the same as that of the old model, and the opening method of the central armrest box of the new model is changed from the old upturned type to the left and right side opening type. The front row cup holders of the new and old models all adopt a cover plate design, but the number of cup holders in the new model is 2 in total, which is 1 more than the old model.
The interior of the trunk of the new and old models is relatively flat, and the trunk opening is larger, which is convenient for the driver to put in slightly larger items. Supports proportional retraction and good flexibility.
Security: Configure the upgrade
Greater security
In terms of safety, the new 580 has added active braking, parallel assist, full-speed adaptive cruise and fatigue driving reminder, etc., with L2 level driving assistance conditions, it can be said that the safety configuration has been comprehensively improved.
summary
Although from the perspective of the brand, Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is relatively weak, the price is also quite affordable, and the early stage has accumulated a good market reputation. The new generation of scenery 580 can be said to have been comprehensively improved in terms of product strength, the appearance is more youthful and fashionable, the interior is full of technology, and the intelligent configuration and safety configuration have also been upgraded. I believe that for car purchase budget is not very sufficient, especially for family users with second and third tires, this car is a good choice.
