[Aika Car Test Drive Original]
In the past year, we have seen more and more Chinese brands launch original modified cars, these models come with sports kits, and the return rate on the street is not even as good as supercar. Among them, Lynk & Co 03+ Cyan, Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, MG6 Pro and other models are definitely the focus of focus, they are not only cool style, but also have "real talent and practical learning". Not long ago, Si Haoyao was officially listed, and the RACE version it launched was also a factory-built kit, this time we finally had the opportunity to experience it, which is close to the positioning of Trumpchi Shadow Leopard and MG6 Pro, facing young consumer groups. What is the specific performance of Si Haoyao? Let's take a look!
The exterior design of the RACE version of Sihaoyao has a high degree of recognition, and its design language has become its own school. As the first model named Chinese, its biggest feature is that it provides an appearance sports kit that does not need to be modified separately. I don't know if you like this design style, but I think there is still a lack of refinement.

In terms of appearance, the sports kit ensures that Si Haoyao has a certain rate of return. In the interior part, it is much more simple, and the entire interior design does not have too many personalized elements, and is more inclined to functional attributes.
In the interior part, Si Haoyao did not give people a strong sense of "presence". From the design language, functional configuration to the space performance, there is still obvious room for improvement. It is worth noting that this model has been a full series of top-level models, comfortable configuration and intelligent configuration in the same level of models are not too high, cost-effective this ring can not be satisfactory.

In the power section, Si Haoyao is equipped with a 1.5T engine with a maximum power of 135kW (184 hp) and a peak torque of 300 Nm, which is only higher than the 177 hp and 270 Nm of the Shadow Leopard and the 181 hp and 285 Nm of the MG6 Pro in terms of parameters alone.
Although the parameters are better than opponents such as Shadow Leopard, from the actual experience, Si Haoyao's power output and chassis tuning are more comfortable. Because during the test drive, we did not encounter traffic jams, and the whole process was driven in the township roads, so we concluded that this car is more suitable for commuting in second- and third-tier cities, which is not easy to drive, but it is not difficult to drive. The power output is linear, smooth, the throttle/brake pedal heel, and the suspension adjustment is soft, which makes Si Haoyao look more like a comfortable home car like Geely Emgrand, which is in contrast to the sports model brought by its appearance kit.
Editor's comments: There is a certain gap between si haoyao's performance in all aspects and mainstream models such as Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, which is mainly reflected in intelligence and configuration. Whether it is power response or chassis tuning, Si Haoyao is still biased towards home orientation, so the riding space also needs to be further optimized. I think Si Haoyao needs to find its own advantages, expand it, and gradually form a unique and distinctive style, which is the foundation of the market. In general, Si Haoyao's driving experience has surprises, but it is not practical enough.
