In recent years, the domestic SUV market competition has become increasingly fierce, and in order to enhance the competitiveness of their own products, major automobile manufacturers have launched "PRO", "MAX" or "PLUS" models to meet the market. As a member of the mainstream domestic SUV, Auchan X7 is not far behind, last October also launched a new model Auchan X7 PLUS, the new car in the design, power, intelligence and quality and other aspects of the upgrade, after the listing by many consumers favored. So what is the product strength of Auchan X7 PLUS? Which model is more worth buying?
1. Model and price
First of all, let's take a look at the models and prices of Auchan X7 PLUS, in order to meet the needs of different consumers, the new car has launched a total of 2 sets of power 9 models, of which 3 models have been launched in the 1.5T manual gear: manual comfort type, manual luxury type and manual premium type, and 1.5T automatic gear launched 6 models: Blue Whale Automatic Deluxe, Blue Whale Automatic Premium, Blue Whale Automatic Premium, Blue Whale Automatic Wisdom, Blue Whale Automatic Geeker Flagship and Blue Whale Automatic Geeker Pilot. In terms of price, the guidance price of Auchan X7 PLUS is 7.99-133,900 yuan, the guidance price of the entry-level model manual comfort type is only 79,900, while the guidance price of the top blue whale version of the automatic Geeker pilot type is only more than 130,000 yuan, which is still very close to the people as a whole.
Second, the characteristics of the model
1. Appearance
Auchan X7 PLUS adopts the design language of "New Natural Aesthetics", full of atmosphere and without losing its agility, young and stylish without losing its sense of movement. The front face part, the Star Hanhai duplex double-layer grille is very imposing, but also more layered, the thin-edged diamond-shaped grille design is staggered, the standard split LED crystallization headlights of the whole series, coupled with chrome strips and red embellishments at the fog lights, make the entire front face more tense and more domineering. In the body part, the tough waist line runs through the entire body, echoing with the front and rear headlights, the bumpy profile is very powerful, and the multi-width wheels look sporty.
The rear part of the car is full and full without losing its avant-garde, and the through-led taillights also have a light curtain effect, which has a high degree of recognition after lighting up at night. The bumper shape at the rear is less rounded, while the chrome trim strips underneath, the slimmer spoiler shape and the flatter chrome trim of the exhaust pipe look very delicate. In addition, the new car body will also be available in six body colors, namely Star Red, Star White, Interstellar Gray, Turquoise Blue, Danqing Blue and Starry Sky Blue.
2. Interior and configuration
Using a wrap-around design, the entire center console is clearly layered, the dark color matching style is very exquisite, and the 12.3-inch (low-end 7-inch) multi-touch LCD screen and 10.25-inch LCD HD dashboard design greatly enhance the sense of technology in the car. In terms of workmanship and materials, Auchan X7 PLUS is also up to expectations, and the upper and lower parts of the center console use texture-optimized sizing technology and matte textured sandy leather, which looks very stretchy and atmospheric overall. The multi-function steering wheel with the aircraft-style gear has become the finishing touch, and it looks very fashionable.
In terms of configuration, the whole series is equipped with tire pressure monitoring, engine start-stop, uphill assist, parking radar, reversing image, 7 multi-function steering wheel, electric exterior mirrors, manual anti-glare inner mirrors, rear wipers and PM0.1 air filtration system, etc., while the medium and high-end models are also equipped with lane departure warning system, parallel assist, active braking, 360-degree panoramic image, open panoramic sunroof and remote start and other high-end configurations.
3. Spatial aspect
The length/width/height of the vehicle is 4730*1870*1720mm, and the wheelbase is 2786mm, which is ahead of other competitors in terms of length. The long wheelbase brings excellent space performance, the 178cm tall experiencer sits in the driver's seat, after adjusting the seat, the head space is still about a punch, and the rear seat is also spacious, which can sit three people. The storage space is not bad, with 650L of trunk space and the rear seats can be expanded to 1407L when reclined.
4. Power and suspension
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a high-low power version of the 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 188Ps and 170Ps, and a peak torque of 300N.m and 260N .m, respectively, matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and a 6MT transmission. In terms of suspension, the current common front McPherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension are used.
Third, the model recommendation
From the perspective of configuration alone, the configuration performance of 9 models is not bad, which model is more worth buying? Personally, I think it is the manual comfort model of the entry-level model, first of all, its naked car price is less than 80,000, which is very attractive to most of our young consumers. Secondly, its configuration performance is also not bad, such as dual front airbags, tire pressure monitoring, reversing image, reversing radar, engine start-stop, 7-inch central control screen, multi-function steering wheel and the configuration of very rare LED headlights and other functions, although these functions are very basic, but for a model of less than 80,000, it is already very good.
