In recent years, the growth trend of independent car companies is more obvious, and the product richness is also greatly improved, in addition to SUVs, MPV and sedans have made achievements. In the price range of 100,000 to 150,000, there are several cars that already have the strength to compete with the same level of joint venture cars, today I will introduce two independent cars with good sales, GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard and Geely Xingrui, the two models have very different styles, who is more loved by you?
Shadow Leopard's recent popularity is very high, as a new car listed for less than half a year, it has sold more than 10,000 vehicles for two consecutive months, and the results are relatively eye-catching. The front face of the shadow leopard reflects more sports design elements, the blackened middle net, the unique shape of the fog lampshade, the headlights and the daytime running lights are integrated, the front of the car is relatively simple and compact, and the visual effect is excellent. The roof line is relatively smooth, and the tail has added a ducktail design, with the bottom exposed exhaust pipe shape, which has a strong sense of movement.
Although Xingrui claims that its positioning is a compact sedan, the length of the car has reached 4785mm, and the appearance looks more slender. The front face adopts a straight waterfall + ripple type air intake grille shape, with three-stage daytime running lights and LED headlights, the visual effect is atmospheric and stable, more durable.
The interior of the Shadow Leopard continues the sharp style similar to the exterior, and the retrograde logo added to the steering wheel is derived from the design of the racing car. The double 10.25-inch siamese screen display effect is satisfactory, and it can also be customized, displaying parameters such as g-value and grasping vehicle dynamic information in real time. The details of the electronic barrier are relatively rich, and the surrounding area has been decorated with carbon fiber grain, which has a strong sports atmosphere. The wheelbase of the Shadow Leopard is 2736mm. The rear legroom performs well, the head space is affected by the top line, the performance is average, and the trunk space can only be regarded as decent.
Unlike Shadow Leopard, which strives to create a sporty atmosphere, Xingrui focuses on creating a sense of luxury in the interior. The 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard plus the same size of the central control touch screen, with a strong sense of science and technology, the fluency of the car system is not bad, but the accuracy and reaction speed of the voice recognition control are not satisfactory. The storage space in the car is relatively rich, the storage compartment is set under the electronic barrier, and the sliding dust cover is set up on the water cup holder next to it, which is more thoughtful. The wheelbase of Xingrui is 2800mm, which meets the so-called A+ level standard, the rear seating space is relatively spacious, and the trunk space performance is better than that of the Shadow Leopard.
In terms of power, the Shadow Leopard is equipped with a 1.5T engine provided by JL Power, with a maximum of 177 horsepower and a maximum torque of 270 Nm, which is already excellent for a car with an overall weight of about 1.4 tons. Matched with this is the 7-stop wet dual-clutch transmission, although the measured acceleration time of 0-100 km/h is less than the officially declared 6.95 seconds, but there is no problem in meeting the daily driving. The comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is about 7.5L, and the performance is also remarkable.
Although the appearance of Xingrui is relatively calm, it still has a fanatical heart, and the whole series is equipped with a 2.0T low-power engine, with a maximum of 190 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. The transmission is also a 7-speed wet double-clutch transmission, the displacement is a notch larger, and the power performance is better than that of the Shadow Leopard, of course, it is expected, provided that you have to accept the fact that it needs to be filled with No. 95 gasoline, and the comprehensive fuel consumption of about 8.4 liters per 100 kilometers.
Summary: Xingrui and Shadow Leopard are two models with large differences in style, Xingrui has more space and richer configuration options, although equipped with a 2.0T engine, but still has a more obvious home orientation; Shadow Leopard is a cost-effective sports car, but also has a sharp appearance design and unique valve exhaust, allowing you to experience the pleasure of high-horsepower performance cars in the past. If you happen to have a budget of about 150,000 yuan to buy a new car, what choice do you have between them? (Text/Brother Who Understands the Car Master, Driving the Wind)
