Recently, Dongfeng Fengshen released the photo of Haoji camouflage test car, Haoji is a medium-sized SUV that Dongfeng Fengshen will launch in the second half of this year, and it is also the first SUV model created by DSMA's advanced modular architecture, and the new car closely revolves around the three directions of "modeling, power and intelligence", bringing a younger style and "driving fun" experience.
Spy photos taken in the northeast border of Heihe City, belongs to the mainland high latitude alpine area, is the first choice for many domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers cold zone test, Haoji tested here, indicating that the product has entered the post-polishing stage. Although the new car has camouflage, the general outline and lines have been exposed, the overall style is biased towards simplicity, and the extended wheel arch makes its side have a good sense of solidity.
The front part of the car adopts split headlights, and the LED daytime running lights above are wavy, with high recognition, and it can be vaguely seen that the "big mouth" design is adopted, or the same family design style as AX7 and Yixuan GS.
At the rear, the light group shape also contains a wavy element that echoes the front of the car, and the lower bumper is a hidden exhaust design. The interior spy photos of the cockpit have not yet been announced, or will adopt an integrated screen design to enhance the atmosphere of science and technology.
In terms of power, Haoji will be equipped with Dongfeng Mach power, which is divided into two types: fuel version and HEV version, of which the 1.5T engine power will be 190kW, and the peak torque may be 300N·m. The Dongfeng Mach-powered MHD hybrid engine equipped with Haoji integrates deep friction reduction technology and adopts high power density ternary batteries.
In the low temperature test of -40 °C, haoji start speed without delay, and the engine sound is crisp after starting, and it can quickly enter a good running state. This hybrid system is not afraid of cold, and its power battery can also enter the ideal operating temperature range at a speed far beyond the industry. This is due to the fact that Haoji adopts the BMS battery management system, which quickly opens up the self-heating under low temperature conditions, and realizes rapid heating at very low temperatures. The time it takes for the power battery to rise from -30°C to the ideal operating temperature is only 50% of the industry level. The ITM integrated intelligent thermal management technology can increase the oil heating speed by 30%, the heating speed by 20%, and the time for the warm air outlet temperature to reach 40 °C by 22%.
In terms of chassis, Haoji is developed and tuned by the CTCC champion team, equipped with a multi-link rear suspension with professional racing genes, coupled with a front and rear body weight ratio of nearly 50:50, Haoji also has a good performance in dynamic driving, after all, "driving fun" is one of the highlights declared by Fengshen. It is worth mentioning that the Haoji A-pillar and B-pillar are completely made of 2000MPa thermoformed steel, which is also the first time that the industry has used such a high-strength grade of steel, which has improved the torsional stiffness and crash safety.
As a blockbuster mid-size SUV of Dongfeng Fengshen in 2022, the DSMA's advanced modular architecture, Haoji's Dongfeng Mach-powered MHD hybrid engine, and sports chassis tuning are all worth looking forward to. In the white-hot battlefield of SUVs, Haoji has great potential to impact the front line with its strong product strength, and is deeply concerned by many young consumers.
