Can you believe this motivation? The Shadow Leopard displacement is only 1.5T, but the measured zero hundred acceleration is only 7 seconds

Recall that more than a decade ago, the performance of the domestic automobile market can almost be said to be lackluster, in the cognition of many people, the representative of the small steel cannon or performance car is the Volkswagen GTI, the Volkswagen GTI at that time was sold in the domestic way of importation, so this seemingly small steel cannon, the real price is not cheap, at that time, more than 400,000 models were only to serve a small group.
However, in order to beat the price down, this model was subsequently domestically produced, and the price was more than 200,000 yuan, but the cost was limited, and the configuration was also reduced a lot compared with the overseas version. But more than a decade ago today, although it cannot be said that performance models are everywhere, models with performance strength and performance potential are no longer rare, and even in this circle, a competitive relationship has been formed.
As a new model with performance potential launched by GAC Trumpchi, Shadow Leopard's appearance has indeed brought a lot of heat, and the model has the strength to rank among the performance fields from the appearance design to the power adjustment. However, after the launch of this model, the word-of-mouth response on the market has been mixed, and this model does have shortcomings, but it is not useless.
The official guidance price currently given by this model is 98,300 yuan - 131,800 yuan, which is a price range that most young consumer groups will consider at present, and it is also the budget range of most domestic car users. From the perspective of intuitive performance, the excellent shape of this model is beyond doubt, and it can attract young consumers at the design level.
The appearance of this model is not low-key, and even in terms of model naming, it is very similar to the model naming code and the code name of the Chinese fighter, from J10 to J16 are brought into the model version. The reason why it is named in the way of a fighter is because this model uses the design elements of a fighter, so this model also has a slight mech style.
Although there are currently differences in the code name of the model, the power of the model only provides a choice, it uses a 1.5T turbo engine for the whole series, the power is given to 177Ps + 270N m, the official acceleration of 100 km is 6.95 seconds, but the acceleration performance of this model in the measured state is 8.27 seconds.
Although the measured 100 km/h acceleration performance and the official 100 km/h acceleration performance are 1.32 seconds apart, for a 1.5T displacement model, this acceleration performance is already considered to be a relatively good level in the same class. And its power is not very high, so this model does have its main sports orientation in terms of power.
The measured 100 km/h acceleration of 8.27 seconds is only a test, not its highest measured score, the highest measured score is about 7 seconds, which can also show the aggressive efficiency of the model in terms of power. The model also fits this sporty orientation in terms of appearance, especially the posture of this model, the overall look is very low, and the momentum is in place.
The most radical part of this model is the front face design, especially the trim panels inlaid with the grille part, which can bring a strong visual impact. The model is a compact and specification, but the side body looks slender, because when its top is stroked to the rear, it has made a fast-moving slip, which is also a design style that young people like more at present.
summary:
The Shadow Leopard model is actually easy to grab the visual attention of young people, especially when this model is on the road, the return rate is not small. The displacement of the model is not large, the power is not high, but the power tuning is very aggressive, and when you go down the throttle, the power will respond immediately. But at the same time, this model also integrates the home orientation, its space and chassis filter comfort will be retained, which is also to increase the use of the model's scene coverage, after all, most groups choose a performance car of about 100,000 levels, not just for driving pleasure.
