Trumpchi Shadow Leopard was very hot when it was just listed, with a sporty positioning, shouted out the title of "civilian coupe", and it has not yet been officially listed during the pre-sale period to get more than 5,000 actual sales, in October, November and even continuously broke 10,000, as a domestic car, this growth rate is quite good. However, today, the sales performance of Trumpchi Shadow Leopard seems to have declined, with 4458 units sold in the peak sales season in January, while February was even more dismal, with only 2002 vehicles, a huge decline. Why is this happening?
Shadow Leopard at the beginning of the listing of the slogan is sports performance and control, but in fact, shadow leopard is not as strong as the legend, it is equipped with a 1.5T turbo engine maximum horsepower of 177Ps, peak torque of 270 Nm, and Honda Earth Dream 1.5T is comparable, the official zero hundred acceleration time only needs 6.95S, and according to media measurements, zero hundred acceleration time actually reached 8.21S. Honda Civic and Geely Xingrui tested in the same period are better than Shadow Leopard, and the latter two acceleration times are 7.74 seconds and 7.85 seconds, respectively, even if this acceleration performance is not bad in the domestic class of cars, but the actual situation is too different from the official, or it will cause some disgust in the market.
In addition, before the Internet also exposed some such words, said that the shadow leopard opened up to control like Mercedes-Benz AMG, sales also take Mercedes-Benz AMG as a gimmick, so there are also netizens to give it a "Mercedes-AMG - shadow leopard" title, this obvious over-touted way, in fact, as long as it is a slightly sober consumer will recognize, after all, the price gap is so large, people Mercedes-Benz AMG department is not relying on words to achieve today's market position, which may also cause a lot of people to resent.
Although Shadow Leopard has not been on the market for a long time, there are already many complaints accumulated on the third-party platform, most of which are about body accessories and electrical problems, that is, battery failure.
Some car owners said: "I picked up the car on November 20, there was a lack of power, please start the generator." For more than half a month, due to the low voltage, the power rescue was carried out twice, and the 4S shop could not check any faults. After driving at a high speed for more than 100 kilometers on December 10, the locked car was parked for 7 hours and was reminded that the battery was low.
There are also owners who said that after running two hundred kilometers of high-speed home on the day of their purchase, at 4:30, the lights of the vehicle and all the electrical equipment were turned off, but after 4 hours, they were known by sms that the battery was low, the battery was completely out of power in the early morning, and the roadside assistance could only be powered on the next day. All in all, the repeated occurrence of new cars on the market is undoubtedly quite abnormal, and some consumers said that the Shadow Leopard's transmission had a clear setback at the start. It seems that among the owners of the owners used, the reputation of the shadow leopard is not very good.
In fact, the interior and exterior design of the Shadow Leopard is indeed very good, and the wheelbase of 2736mm is also at the upstream level in the compact car, but due to excessive marketing and touting of the handling performance, this originally good family car has caused some consumers to resent. In addition, Trumpchi still attaches great importance to quality control.
