I just saw a news today that the average age of marriage in China is 5 years later than the data of previous years. That is to say, many of today's new dads are no longer young men in their 20s, and may also be the mainstream of society in their inception. Although the age range of new dads has become wider, the characteristics of youth and passion will not change...
Today we got a test drive that can only be used for 1 day, Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan MAX (Parameter | Inquiry). Originally, I thought it was a sports coupe that could "get off the track", but after the test drive, I realized that this was just a family car that could let my dad release his passion. Do you think this sentence is exaggerated or derogatory? Today, let me give a brief review of this car.
Yixuan MAX is a family car with a guided price between 93,900 and 137,900 yuan, and it can be seen from the official poster that this is a family car positioned for a family of three. Household is the first positioning of this product. If you want to give this car a feature, it is with a certain sportiness, the father (big boy) who is the biggest target user group of this car. So we look at the appearance of this car, very sharp and sporty, the interior is also a collection of technology and sporty in one. From a visual point of view, it is fully capable of conquering the target group of new dads.
Space is a highlight of this car, whether it is the front seating space, comfort, or rear space, are very rich, for a family car of about 100,000 yuan, is a very big advantage, the so-called main home, naturally will be the space level to do a good job, otherwise where there is competitive ah. Obviously, YiXuan MAX has also done this. For consumers who don't like SUVs, but value the backroom, this car can be tried.
From a static point of view, this car is very good whether it is a hard product force or whether the product meets the rigid needs of the target user group. But what about getting moving?
They all say that this car is sporty, but when I test drive it, I didn't agree with this view at all. First of all, many people who comment on this car may still confuse the sport car and the sportiness of civilian cars. This car is completely unsuitable for the civilian car under the track, we look at the official poster again, a family of three and a harmonious happy life is the main theme of this car. However, many models of the 100,000 yuan level may lose the passion of life when they meet the needs of the family, so giving this car a certain visual sportiness and a sense of civil movement is an "excuse" for the new dad to pay for this car. So how is the civilian sportiness of this car calibrated?
First of all, the good side, that is, when driving daily, the initial compression damping design of the chassis is slightly softer, a little softer than the model at the same price, the smooth comfort will be better, and the calibration of the rear suspension is more crisp and clean, ensuring that the details of the filtered road surface are all in one go, there is no unnecessary shaking, so that the children in the back row can have better riding comfort, which fits the pain points of the nursing father and baby. The daily ride of the gearbox is also OK, and there is nothing wrong with daily driving. Even in the face of other competitors at the same price, such daily dynamic product power is not inferior.
Let's talk about the bad side. In fact, it is not bad. If you confuse sport with sports cars from a purely athletic point of view, this car will be called "sports garbage" by some people. However, this product officially does not claim the attributes of being able to get off the track, nor does it advertise itself every second. Its positioning is to allow young dads to be a little more wanton when they are driving alone. The engineers at Max Clearly held this. First of all, in the steering feel, the adjustment is slightly heavier, and the return force is smaller, which allows the grandfather to have a sense of control that is mastered at the moment between the subtle directions, although it is not the real sports steering adjustment of the sports model, but it does create the feeling that it should be. Although the initial section of the suspension takes into account the comfort of the home, the second half takes into account a certain degree of sportiness, and when performing such operations as aggressive turning and line, the chassis can still support and pull the body very well. Although the vehicle limit can not be compared with the sports model, but still that sentence, for the grandfather, the sense of passion to cool down. The gearbox has a manual mode, but it can only be operated with a paddle shifter, although the lift gear is not so active, and the adjustment of the gearbox is not so moving, but for the average person, when the paddle is dialed, the smell is there.
In short, I think that it is difficult to reconcile, in the face of the understanding of the sportiness of this car, there will naturally be a variety of different sounds, but I do not regard the lack of "steel cannon sense (sportiness)" as a disadvantage, but think that this is a reasonable setting of an automobile manufacturer, so that the product is very in line with the needs of target consumers. What should be given is in place, but not too much to give. The standard is high, the cost is high, the people who praise do not pay, the people who pay the bill can not experience this part of the good or bad, the kind of product power but can not sell the word of mouth product, is it really a good commodity?
Only one day of test driving, although the experience is not deep, but from the official poster and the name of different configurations can be seen, this main new dad's family car, sports is the added value, home is its hardest and most product force. Let's listen to the configuration naming together: Super Cute Dad Version, Super Power Dad Version, Super Cool Dad Version, Super Hot Dad Version, Super Cool Dad Version... If you are a new dad, the whole budget is within 15w, I think you can go to test drive Yixuan MAX, if you want to buy, I recommend the top match and the second top match, their difference is the intelligent driving assistance system, for the young dad who drives without a mobile phone, if I can't persuade you to drive without touching the phone, then you must choose the top match. After all, safety comes first.
