I have been remembering for a long time, and I have not tested the entry-level model of my own brand, which is actually quite strange to the level of today's model. This time there is an opportunity to test drive the popular Lingzhi (picture | configuration | inquiry) M5, a model priced at only 100,000 yuan or less, but will feel a little curious, what kind of performance can it have?
The lowest price of Lingzhi: the highest price reduction from 59,900: 0.25 million

Taking advantage of the gap before the test drive, I chatted with the media peers of the same car for a while, and they all thought that too much demand for this price model was actually not practical. On the contrary, mature models such as the Lingzhi M5, which will be verified by time, are repackaged to meet the basic car needs of consumers, which is currently more feasible.
The upgrade of the face value is the biggest highlight of the Lingzhi M5
The inverted trapezoidal chrome mesh design and the double-layer headlight design make the front face of the Lingzhi M5 more recognizable, creating the atmospheric atmosphere that many people think.
The middle net named by the manufacturer as the spread-wing grille may later become the family design of lingzhi, although the body mechanism of lingzhi still uses the previous design, but the change of this front face alone can already give everyone the feeling of a new car.
The texture of the interior has been enhanced a lot
The same newly designed one-piece center console style is also refreshing, completely abandoning the frame of the previous design, compared with other Models of the Lingzhi series, the grade is much higher.
Secondly, the improvement of interior construction, the engineers of the Lingzhi M5 are very proud of this, and specially emphasized that the instrument panel body uses the production process of simulated stitching, which is comparable to the same level on the joint venture brand model, as well as the hidden airbag design of the co-driver position, and is also the key to improving the aesthetics of the Lingzhi M5 integrated center console.
The 8-inch central control LCD screen has also become one of the standards of lingzhi M5, which integrates navigation, audio and video playback, Bluetooth phone, radio, U disk, SD card reading and other in-car configuration and safety adjustment, and can also realize the interconnection function of mobile phones.
The space is as big as ever
From the 4745 * 1720 * 1950mm of the appearance of the size can be seen that the Lingzhi M5 is large, the wheelbase of 2800mm is easily placed under the three rows of seats, the width of the car can reach 1.5 meters, the height of the car is also close to 1.3 meters, and the space utilization rate is amazing. At the same time, the rear row has a half-split side hanging, folding, forward-turning, flattening, front-to-back movement, etc., providing a variety of space use modes.
For the means of creating a sense of generous space, it is impossible to miss the unique 5 sunroof design of the Lingzhi M5, which has been used when the Mitsubishi space gear was launched in the same year, even today, as long as it sits in the car, it can still give every passenger a comfortable feeling. Although it was raining heavily on the day of the test drive, there was no sunlight to sprinkle on the carriage, but watching the raindrops on the roof slip on the skylight a little bit also had another feeling of relaxation.
The four sunroofs in the middle and rear are each equipped with sunshades, which can be switched independently through the roof buttons, which is a very intimate design. At the same time, it is very special that the central top light is set up with the adjustable function of red and white two shades and three brightness, if you turn on the red light at night and walk on the road, you will definitely earn a lot of surprised eyes.
Old and strong chassis structure
Manufacturers also unabashedly state that the foundation of the popular chassis system is derived from the Mitsubishi space gear many years ago, and also emphasizes that this mechanical structure that has been tested for more than a decade has no doubt about durability. The use of double cross-arm torsion bar spring independent front suspension and leaf spring rear suspension, which was designed for load capacity in the past, has now been re-improved, and the mission requirements are naturally much more.
It must be able to bear the needs of logistics and transportation, but also meet the passenger requirements of multi-purpose models within 100,000 yuan, so the requirements for Lingzhi M5 have become more diverse. The suspension hardness is indeed a bit tough, only sitting in the state of three adults, the riding comfort of the Lingzhi M5 is only average. However, this slightly tough performance was filtered out by the comfortable middle row seats, and anyway, I drove out of the hotel less than 20 minutes, and the media teacher sitting in the middle row was already asleep.
Versatile Mitsubishi engine
The Ryoji M5 is currently available in two engine options, the 1.6-liter Mitsubishi 4A92 and the 2.0-liter Mitsubishi 4G94, both with a 5-speed manual transmission, which is no problem for users who pursue practicality. At the same time, manufacturers also frankly said that although these two engines are no longer advanced in the current era of endless new technologies, both have a huge amount of ownership. Relatively speaking, the technology is more mature and reliable, and the fuel economy is good, which is also what the target users value, because the Lingzhi M5 may be a powerful assistant for them to earn back the first pot of gold.
Seeing this, I believe that everyone must also understand that the focus of the Lingzhi M5 is placed on those parts, and the importance of driving performance must have been placed in a more secondary position. In the course of the half-day test drive, basically driving in the quite smooth urban road, but also let us feel that the Lingzhi M5 is actually quite comfortable, in improving the riding comfort must have done a lot of work invisible to the naked eye. As long as you maintain a peaceful driving mentality, then everything becomes so smooth and quiet.
Edit summary:
In fact, for the Fengxing Lingzhi M5 everyone should not be unfamiliar, after years of upgrading and transformation, Dongfeng Fengxing in the original Fengxing classic model platform to create this product, reliability is beyond doubt. The 5-year or 100,000-kilometer ultra-long warranty guarantee is also enough to reflect the confidence of the popular line in Lingzhi M5, and in response to the needs of today's target customers, it has added a lot of configurations that keep pace with the times, and the price will be maintained between 70,000 and 100,000, which is quite reasonable.
