With the rise of domestic independent brands, more and more independent models have emerged in everyone's sight. In the face of the compact SUV field dominated by the joint venture brand model, the previously unknown Dongfeng Fengshen entered this competitive market with his new product AX7 Mach version, so today we will look at the hard power of the new Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version to fight with many opponents.
Appearance: vibrant, dynamic, very impactful
As a brand new model, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version has been greatly upgraded compared to the AX7 PRO version in terms of appearance. Like the sibling MAX, the new Mach 7 edition features a large grille with chrome glossy silver trims to give the front a dynamic and further recognizable characterization.
The front LED headlights on both sides of the front are connected by the decorative strips with the new logo of the Fengshen above, and the overall sense is very strong. The interior of the light group uses black and silver color blocks to highlight its movement genes.
The lower sides of the front are different from the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 PRO, the new Mach version of the AX7 cancels the fog lights and replaces it with an enclosed air vent decoration, and the overall effect stretches the front of the car to both sides, increasing the visual impact.
The overall body side lines of the new Mach 7 edition are very smooth and compact. The two-segment waistline design and suspended roof make it stylish. The body size is 4660*1880*1690mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2715mm. Such data performance is also relatively good in the field of compact SUVs.
The new Mach 7 edition features 19-inch wheels, and the silver and black double color block and the design of the small gully inside make this wheel full of movement and at the same time, it is very modern and stylish.
The rear part of the car is the opposite of the front of the car, and the overall design style is more restrained, but it is still very well portrayed in the details. First of all, the new Mach 7 version adopts the popular through-type taillight design, and the silver ornamental fishtail lamp is combined to present an X shape in visual effects.
The new Mach version of the AX7 under the rear of the car adopts a two-sided exhaust layout with a trapezoidal under-turbulence design, which has a strong fighting atmosphere. And the addition of orange decoration to the color, further highlighting its dynamic design style.
Interior: stylish, avant-garde, full of technology
Inside the car, the center console of the new Mach 7 version features an overall layout that is biased towards the driver's side. The staggered design of both sides and the air outlet of the central air conditioner has a strong sense of layering.
And the AX7 PRO interior in the passenger area to abandon the combination of leather and silver trim, replaced by a hard trim with mood lights, increasing the mood of the car, while improving the sports atmosphere in the car.
The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument appeared on this new AX7 Mach version of the model, this LCD instrument supports a variety of display modes, when changing the driving mode at the same time, the display theme in the instrument will also be replaced, very highly technological and futuristic.
The new Mach 7 edition features a 12.3-inch central control display of the same size as the LCD meter. Built-in WindLink car machine system, the internal UI design is fresh and unworldly, and support remote OTA upgrade and 5G hotspot function, smooth operation, easy to use.
The air conditioning control area uses the physical buttons we are familiar with, although there is a lack of technology, but the actual use of the feeling is very convenient, the temperature control knob and the button with the combination of convenient blind exercise, this one-step feeling is gratifying.
The seats are soft, highly equipped and have a remarkable amount of space
The new Mach 7 version of the main seat and the passenger seat support multi-directional electric adjustment, and the main seat is equipped with heating, ventilation and memory functions. The interior padding of the seat is too soft, and the ride is very comfortable, but long-distance driving does not know whether such a soft seat will make people feel back pain.
The rear seating space is remarkable, and the new Mach AX7 version has a wheelbase of 2715mm. Rear seating, plenty of head space and slightly cramped legroom. However, the height of the headrest cannot be adjusted to meet the needs of passengers of different sizes.
The new Mach 7 version of the AX7 is equipped with a power tailgate, the interior space of the trunk is very regular, and the rear seats support 4/6 ratio reclining, although it cannot be completely flattened, but the ability to load some large items is still unquestionable.
The book data is superior at the same level, and the power performance meets the needs of the family
Dongfeng Fengshen independently developed a 1.5T turbocharged engine
Teglak 7 wet-proof dual-clutch transmission
The new Mach AX7 version is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine independently developed by Dongfeng Fengshen, which is matched by Teglak's 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Power 140 kW, torque 300 N·m. But from this data performance, it has reached the level of many 2.0T models.
Actual driving experience, this new Mach 7 version of the AX7 gives me the feeling of calm with a hint of restlessness. The performance of the initial stage of the throttle is very light, tap the throttle to start, the body will have a tendency to rush forward, the output of low twist is very strong, and the performance of the initial acceleration power is very sufficient.
Coming to the middle and back section, I found the calm side of the AX7 PRO, there was no obvious flashpoint in the high speed range, and the overall power output was stable and linear. But it is easy to say that the power combination of speeding up quickly is handy.
summary
In general, the new Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version and the AX7 PRO version are still very different, whether it is the appearance details, interior design, or power performance has been improved. As a compact SUV that focuses on home use, his performance is still satisfactory.
To be honest, brands like Dongfeng Fengshen, while concentrating on doing a good job in their own products, should really bravely promote themselves and make efforts in word of mouth and topicality, so that more consumers will know you well. In this era when wine is also afraid of deep alleys, there is no good publicity, and good products will be buried.
