Not long ago, the 24th Winter Olympic Games officially came to an end. In this Winter Olympic Games, in addition to the acclaimed opening and closing ceremonies and the ice piers that absorb countless powders, the Chinese delegation ended perfectly with a total of 15 medals of 9 gold/4 silver/2 bronze, setting a record for the best result in the history of the Winter Olympic Games. Young players such as Su Yiming and Gu Ailing have brought a blockbuster performance, and some difficult actions are enough to leave foreign players behind.
Coincidentally, today's independent brands are in the "rising period" of development, and they also have the spirit of "tenacity, hard work and self-breakthrough" in China's ice and snow athletes; successive new cars bring one surprise after another. Take Changan Auchan for example, the Auchan X7 PLUS launched in October last year can be called the brand's "top work", and the people-friendly positioning and hard-core technology have become one of the mainstream options in the compact SUV market.
"Whether the product is good or not, you need to vote with your wallet." No, the company purchased an Auchan X7 PLUS top version model at the beginning of the year as a car, in the fierce competition, I was fortunate to grab the "priority experience right" and became the "owner" of auchan X7 PLUS. Unlike the previous test drive activities, the two weeks of day and night gave me a comprehensive understanding of this "new colleague".
Plenty of space and a powerful aura
I have to admit that at the first sight of Auchan X7 PLUS, there is only one word in my heart: "big". Taking the two most critical data, its width is 1870mm and the wheelbase is 2786mm, which is comparable to the joint venture mid-size SUV, which once made me worry about whether it can be easily driven. But after the actual experience, I felt how "fragrant" the big space really is.
Seated in the front row, the wide seat will provide all-round support for the body, with a raised side skirt, even when cornering can provide effective wrapping; in addition, the width of the front armrest box supports the use of the main co-driver at the same time, when there is no time to eat, the bucket of bubble noodles can also be stable. As for the rear row, it is needless to say that the flat rear floor and the intimate rear exhaust outlet can take care of the feelings of every passenger even if it is a long way.
In the life of ordinary people's cars, in addition to the need for people to sit on the car, it is inevitable to transport luggage and goods, and the space performance of the trunk is very important. In the case of the rear seats not falling, the whole vehicle already has a volume of 650L, which can bring greater freedom for holiday travel, moving and delivery; the rear row is upside down, and the spacious space can be directly used as a "bed", bringing a visual sense of space of "three bedrooms and one living room".
In addition to the "big" space, the appearance of the whole vehicle also gives people an atmospheric feeling. This car uses a personalized "blue sky" color scheme, giving people a fresh and elegant feeling; not only the top match, but also the entry-level model can also be selected. In addition, the middle mesh in the shape of the lock armor, the slender LED headlights, and the through-type tail lights all bring a strong visual impact and belong to the more attractive type.
Plenty of power and fuel consumption to surprise
It is no secret that I have heard about the space advantages of auchan X7 PLUS, but as I was worried at the beginning: how is such a big car driving? After two weeks of experience, it turned out that my worries were too much.
When the vehicle is steering, the steering wheel feedback is moderate, the directivity is strong, and it is not as difficult to drive as imagined, presumably female drivers can easily get started; when passing through bumpy roads, the combination of front and rear independent suspension can filter out most of the vibrations and maintain a certain sense of road, and there is no need to slow down in the face of ordinary small potholes. In terms of sound insulation, the "participation" of the engine is almost not felt when the vehicle is idling, and it can always maintain a relatively quiet state in the urban road with a maximum speed limit of 80km/h.
Regarding power, this car has four driving modes of economy/standard/sport/custom, and personally, the first three are the most commonly used. In the economic mode, the power output is relatively "Buddhist", but it is more than enough to deal with the road conditions in the urban area, comprehensive congestion, elevated road conditions, etc., the actual fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is 7-8L, to be honest, it has exceeded previous expectations; switching to the standard mode, you can obviously feel the power response is more positive, bringing a stronger sense of flexibility and control. As for sport mode, I haven't experienced it too much, and while the roar of stepping on the accelerator can inspire long-lost driving pleasure, it's easy to overspeed without paying attention.
As a product with a size approaching that is close to that of a mid-size SUV, Auchan X7 PLUS has brought many surprises in terms of fuel consumption performance, power response, and shift ride. With a maximum horsepower of 188Ps and a maximum torque of 300N·m, this set of Blue Whale's new generation NE 1.5T + Blue Whale 7-speed wet dual-clutch "golden power" is indeed worthy of the name.
Outstanding configuration, experience the life of technology
As far as today's car market is concerned, "intelligent" is no longer a new term, such as human-computer interconnection, remote control, driving assistance and other functions, is gradually changing the life of consumers. However, as a flagship model priced at 133,900 yuan, how smart is this Auchan X7 PLUS? I was very curious before the experience.
On the first day of getting the "right to use", I downloaded the "Auchan Style" APP and bound the owner information, and mastered most of the functions after a simple understanding. First of all, the main interface will clearly display the status of the vehicle door and window, even if you go home, you can determine whether there is a lock, which can be described as the gospel of "obsessive-compulsive disorder patients"; at the same time, the APP also supports remote unlocking, flashing lights, turning on the air conditioning and other functions, ensuring the best use of the car before using the car, saving me a lot of time.
In addition, the APP also supports the "clairvoyance" function, which can remotely observe the state around the vehicle, making it easier to find the car; the "downwind ear" function supports voice remote control, just say "open the engine", even if the vehicle is not unlocked, the engine will run normally.
In addition, it also has automatic parking, just press the button, select the parking space, the vehicle can be safely parked in the designated position, and even the left and right distance will be fine-tuned; 360-degree panoramic image can actively wake up, through the narrow road conditions, can effectively avoid scratching.
Of course, although it is not unusual to have functions such as electric trunk, main and co-pilot electric seats, and panoramic sunroofs, Auchan X7 PLUS can be exhausted and show a lot of sincerity.
Conclusion: Just like the use of large-screen smart phones, it is difficult to accept flip phones, after experiencing the comprehensive product strength of Auchan X7 PLUS, the "hard plastic" and "big color TV" of the 100,000-level joint venture car are very contrary. After two weeks of test drive, the space, appearance, power, and configuration of the new car have brought many surprises, coupled with the price threshold within reach, it is difficult to say that it is not heartwarming.
