There are not many domestic car companies that can be related to the military industry, and Dongfeng counts as one. At the launch of the Mach version of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 (picture | configuration | inquiry), they staged the military cow X disease to the extreme.
Let's start with the naming, we hear the word Mach mostly because of fighter jets, which is the first point where the Mach version of the Wind God AX7 has a connection with the military industry. The second is that the four subdivisions of the Mach version of the Aegis AX7 are named DF21, DF31, DF41 and DF51, which is the name of our national strategic missile.
Then, the venue of the listing conference was selected next to the Kiev aircraft carrier in the Tianjin Binhai Aircraft Carrier Theme Park, and the entire process of the conference was also full of military flavor.
For example, when dongfeng leaders introduced the Mach version of the Fengshen AX7, the product highlights were projected onto the aircraft carrier, which was quite shocking.
I was the first time to participate in the Dongfeng Fengshen brand activities, and I was attracted to it.
Back to the point, let's talk about the Mach version of the AEG7 version of this car. The Mach version of the Aegis AX7 can be seen as a deep modification of the AX7, and the biggest upgrade is that it is equipped with Mach power.
Mach Power is the power brand of Dongfeng's independent passenger car released in April this year, and the Mach version of the Fengshen AX7 is equipped with a 1.5T engine under the Mach Power brand, which has won the title of "China Heart" Top Ten Engines, with a maximum power of 190 horsepower and a peak torque of 300 Nm; the AX7 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption equipped with this engine is only 6.6 liters.
In fact, the Mach AX7 version of the DF21 model, that is, the lowest version, is not powered by Mach, but an ordinary 1.5T engine. The DF21 model's 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 150 hp and a peak torque of 230 Nm, while the combined fuel consumption of 100 km/h is 7.7 liters.
Take its ratio with Mach power, you can intuitively show the performance advantages of Mach power.
In terms of gearbox, the DF21 model matches a 6-speed manual transmission, and the other models use a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission from Getrag, which is worth mentioning that this gearbox has won the title of the world's top ten.
In addition to the power of the changeover, the Mach version of the Aegis AX7 has also made some optimizations in the design.
The front face uses a grille officially called "Storm Number", which I think is somewhat like a burning flame, and some are like sparkling water patterns; the size of the grille is also very large, so the overall is quite imposing.
Inspired by the Tomahawk, the 19-inch wheel looks simple and sporty.

In addition, the new car has also added a galaxy gray color matching, and there are currently a total of 4 colors available to consumers.
Unfortunately, I was not able to sit in the cockpit of the Mach 7 version of the AX7 and could not perceive the texture. But from the perspective of visual presentation, its design is still relatively successful, at least it does not feel cheap.
The more important point is the configuration. The Configuration of the Mach Version of the AX7 high-end model is very rich, the main seat not only has ventilation, heating functions, but also has massage functions; the area of the panoramic sunroof reaches 1.17 square meters, and it is the standard of the whole series; the audio brand is The Danish Jamo Zunbao; the cabin is equipped with 36-color mood lights; the fashionable technology configuration, 5G car networking is also available.
For driving safety considerations, the Mach version of the AX7 is also very reluctant to materialize.
The intelligent safety system integrates rich functions such as reversing side rear warning system, blind spot monitoring system, door opening warning system, and rapid approach early warning system.
At the passive safety level, in addition to the covering parts, this car uses a large number of high-strength steel plates; 1500MPa class hot forming steel is used in key structural parts such as B-pillar; and the sill beam adopts 1000MPa class third-generation advanced high-strength steel.
More critically, the price of this AX7 Mach version is only 9.59--12.99 million, which is very cost-effective.
