Around 2010, if someone asked me what kind of car was appropriate to buy in my early 100,000s? I would say, "Dogs know to buy joint ventures." But as the saying goes, "Three days of shibetsu, when you are impressed", not to mention that eleven years have passed since 2010. In this long eleven years, the product strength of independent brands is also constantly improving, and the "bullying" situation of joint venture cars is also quietly changing.
Today, I will bring you two popular independent popular models, both of which are the flagship players of their respective brands. In order to compare considerably, Xiaobian selected the two models of Yixuan MAX2021 1.5T Super Burning Cool Dad Edition (125,900 yuan) and Shadow Leopard 2021 270T Shadow Leopard J16 Version (128,000 yuan) at the same price to see who is the real performance car?
First look at the appearance, although the two cars are mainly performance car, but in the appearance of the design style or have their own advantages. YiXuan MAX's large-size front grille with bright black middle mesh is indeed more imposing, but more or less with the shadow of a traditional family car; and the shadow leopard adopts a straight waterfall blackened net, with a blue front grille embellishment, creating a stronger visual impact, closer to the pure performance car appearance.
The perspective turns back to the side of the body, but from the visual point of view, yixuan MAX will be more slender, and both cars use a sneaky shape design, which has a sense of elongated visual effects to a certain extent. Now look at the book data, the body size of Yixuan MAX is: 4797/1870/1475mm, wheelbase is 2770mm; the body size of Shadow Leopard is 4700/1850/1432mm, and the wheelbase is 2736mm. As a medium-sized car, yixuan MAX is predictable to have a circle larger than the shadow leopard, and in the same price range, the spatial performance of Yixuan MAX is indeed excellent enough and cost-effective.
If the difference in appearance style between the two cars is not obvious, then you may wish to look at the interior again. Yixuan MAX uses a large size of the central control screen to increase the scientific and technological atmosphere inside the vehicle, and the through-type air outlet also visually further widens the central control panel, and only adopts a lot of fur material to enhance the sense of movement in the car.
The interior design of shadow leopard is more "simple violence", in general, how to exercise and how to come. The wrap-around seats, paired with a flat-bottomed sports steering wheel, are embellished with yellow elements to create a stronger fighting atmosphere.
Although the selected Yixuan MAX is only a medium and high-end version, it is still more abundant than the Shadow Leopard in configuration. It is not only equipped with parallel assist, lane departure warning system, etc., but also equipped with 360-degree hologram, full-speed adaptive endurance and automatic parking, and the overall configuration is relatively rich. The shadow leopard chooses the version of the sub-top match, the basic configuration is complete enough, that is, the sub-top is also equipped with an adaptive cruise, or it is a bit regrettable.
Since it is a performance car, what everyone is most concerned about should be the power attributes of the two cars. First of all, both cars are equipped with a 1.5T engine + 7 wet-blocking dual-clutch transmission, but there are still slight differences in power adjustment. The peak power and peak torque of Yixuan MAX are: 140kW, 300N·m, and the peak power and peak torque of Shadow Leopard are: 130kW, 270N·m. Looking at the book data, Yixuan MAX seems to be stronger, but the zero hundred acceleration of Shadow Leopard is only 6.95s, even if the measured data fluctuates, it can also ensure more than 700%, and the overall acceleration is still better than Yixuan MAX.
Overall, Yixuan MAX is more like a performance car that takes into account the family, and the overall power is enough for the family; while the Shadow Leopard is more like a pure performance car, whether it is from the appearance or the power, it is enough to be sporty, but relatively speaking, the shadow Leopard's vehicle space performance is slightly mediocre. If you are looking for pure performance, shadow leopard will be a good choice, but if you need to take care of your home, then the Max may be more suitable for you.
