In the past, when mentioning fuel saving, the first reaction in the mind was Nissan Xuanyi, but at present, when it comes to fuel saving, new energy vehicles and hybrid models are inseparable, compared with new energy vehicles that still have endurance anxiety, hybrid models seem to be more favored by the Chinese. Moreover, Xuanyi, which often ranks first in market sales, has also launched the Xuanyi e-POWER version on the basis of the fuel version, which controls the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers below 4L by equipping the motor. Of course, in the automotive market, there are not many models that choose to launch a hybrid version on the basis of the fuel version, such as the Honda CR-V, Toyota Veranda, Trumpchi Shadow Leopard and other models have launched hybrid versions.
Unlike CR-V, Veranda and other joint venture SUVs, Shadow Leopard belongs to the camp of independent models, and has only been on the market for half a year, but in this half year, it has achieved monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles for two consecutive months, becoming the forefront of the compact car sales market. The reason why Shadow Leopard can achieve such results is that it has a more athletic appearance than the Civic is one thing, but more is to get less than 7 seconds of zero hundred speed, and less than 100,000 yuan of starting price. The strength of the shadow leopard is not weak, and now will add a hybrid version of the model, then, whether the hybrid model plays a role in "adding wings to the tiger", or "dragging the leg", mainly according to the product strength of the shadow leopard hybrid version to analyze.
It is understood that the shadow leopard hybrid version was unveiled in the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, from the appearance of the real car, the appearance of the new car and the fuel version of the shadow leopard Gap is not large, the front face is still equipped with a large size grille, narrow style of headlights on both sides of the grille. The surface of the body on the side of the car is designed with multiple lines, and the black decorative strips on the upper edge of the window still extend to the D pillar. The taillight shape of the rear of the car is still young, and the diffuser shape at the rear bumper and the four exhaust outlets are not absent. The difference is that the bright color decorative strip inlaid on the front face is changed to silver, the wheel hub on the side is more three-dimensional, and the HYBRID logo is added to the rear, plus the unique magic pink silver of the hybrid version, the overall recognition is not low.
In addition to the small difference in appearance, the interior gap between the new car and the fuel version of the shadow leopard is not large, and the eye is the three-panel multi-functional steering wheel wrapped in leather, the square double screen is not absent, and the through-type air conditioning outlet below widens the visual width of the car to a certain extent. Looking down, you can also see a large area of carbon fiber panels at the gearbox console, combined with the bright color leather that only exists in the hybrid version, on the basis of ensuring high-end and sports, it also adds a lot of youthful atmosphere.
In addition, the hybrid version of Shadow Leopard is also equipped with the ADiGO intelligent interconnection ecosystem in the 10.25-inch LCD central control screen, under the blessing of the system, the central control screen in addition to providing a wealth of in-vehicle APP, but also to achieve in-car visual biometrics, both to support face recognition, but also real-time monitoring of whether it is in a state of fatigue driving. From a certain point of view, the new car can have such intelligence, indeed belongs to the mainstream ranks, however, the fuel version of the shadow leopard has been complained by many users that the control screen often crashes, I don't know if the problem can be completely solved in the hybrid version of the shadow leopard?
As for the power, it is reported that the hybrid version of the Shadow Leopard will be equipped with the GMC 2.0 hybrid system independently developed by GAC, which takes the 2.0ATK engine as the core, and the thermal efficiency of the engine is as high as 42.1%, and it should be known that Toyota's veteran Rongfang has a thermal efficiency of only 40%. Of course, such high thermal efficiency, naturally also to the shadow leopard to bring a good economy, combined with the GMC2.0 electromechanical coupling system, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 3.6L, which is much lower than the 3.9L 100 kilometers comprehensive fuel consumption owned by Xuanyi e-POWER Edition. As for the performance part, according to the performance gap between other hybrid models and fuel models, the maximum power of the hybrid version of the shadow leopard has a high probability of being better than the fuel version of the model, so I will not be very worried about the actual speed increase of the hybrid version of the shadow leopard.
However, according to the user feedback of the fuel version of shadow leopard, the gearbox of shadow leopard often appears to be stuck, the gear shift is not smooth, abnormal and other issues, and such core problems will indeed intuitively affect the actual driving experience, so for the hybrid version of shadow leopard that is expected to enter the market in 2022, can it solve the core problem, it is indeed necessary to put a question mark?
In any case, whether it is the central control problem, as well as the core problems such as the gearbox, it only affects the driving experience, does not affect the use of the whole vehicle, and this series of problems joint venture cars often appear, so we can now hold a tolerant attitude and analyze the product performance of the hybrid version of the Shadow Leopard from an objective point of view. From the currently known product information, the comprehensive product strength of the new car is really good, and it is closer to the young people, but the final price has not been announced, what kind of price do you think this car matches, in order to achieve hot sales after entering the market?
