As we all know, Generation Z young people have become the mainstream consumer group of automobiles. Compared with other generations of consumer groups, Generation Z young people, as Internet natives, advocate beautyism, idol culture, and are keen to pursue personality and passion. In order to cater to the young people of Generation Z, car companies have begun to set their sights on sports cars. Among them, GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard and Dongfeng Fengshen Dark Night Yixuan MAX are particularly outstanding, and have become the first choice for young people to choose sports cars.
Then, the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, who had been pinned high hopes on by Zeng Qinghong, if the hard East Wind God Dark Night Yi Xuan MAX, who would be better? Today, let's have a static Battle to see who is the real domestic sportsman!
To be fair, select the high-end version for comparison, and take the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard J16 Sushin Limited Edition PK Dark Night YiXuan MAX Dawn Edition. From the price point of view alone, aside from the highest hybrid holy light version of The Dark Night YiXuan MAX, the second top with the Dark Night YiXuan MAX Dawn Edition is priced at 127,900 yuan, which is 3900 yuan lower than the 131,800 Trumpchi Shadow Leopard J16 Sushen Limited Edition. It can be said that in terms of price, Dark Night Yixuan MAX has already won the first place.
The price is low, what about the comprehensive strength? Next, let's "compete" one by one.
Let's look at the appearance first. The so-called benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise. It's hard to say whose design is better. However, fortunately, both are very track-style, and they are cars that are born "dressed" in the body. Therefore, only from the body hardware, you can compete with each other.
In terms of body size, the Shadow Leopard J16 Sushin Limited Edition is 4700/1850/1432mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2736mm. Looking at the Dark Night Max, the length, width and height are 4817/1890/1475mm, and the wheelbase is 2770mm. From the perspective of the body data itself, there is no doubt that the Dark Night Yixuan MAX has an absolute crushing advantage, regardless of body size or wheelbase are better than the opponent. The advantage in size naturally translates into a spatial advantage, providing users with a comfortable driving experience. Of course, the Dark Night YiXuan MAX is not only big, but also does not fall behind in the matter of "handsome".
As a sports car, but also the same level of original modified models, who is more windy in appearance? Compared to the Detonation Performance Set provided by the Shadow Leopard J16 Sushin Limited Edition, which only exists in the vehicle's optional list, the Dark Night Yixuan MAX is much thicker. For example, performance accessories such as track armor grilles, black wheels, detonated blue exterior trims, carbon dark night rims, kryptonite brake calipers, track-level rear spoiler kits, track-level broken tails and track-level bilateral four-out tail throats that only exist in the Shadow Leopard optional package, all appear in the body of Dongfeng Fengshen Dark Night Yixuan MAX in standard form, bringing the "original modification" characteristics to the extreme, showing the endless charm of racing style.
Needless to say, the operation of the dark night Yixuan MAX, for fans who like to play with cars, not only has a lot less modification fees, but also does not have to worry about being stopped by the traffic police for questioning, simply do not be too happy. Therefore, in terms of appearance, Dongfeng Fengshen Dark Night Yixuan MAX compared to Trumpchi Shadow Panther J16 Sushin Limited Edition, properly win another round.
When talking about the interior, Xiaobian first said a point. The so-called real sports car, what must be done is to be consistent in appearance. Not only is the exterior sporty and cool, but the interior is also full of sporty temperament. Looking at the two cars by such a standard, the Dark Night Yixuan MAX is afraid that it will be a big victory again.
Because, when the shadow leopard only pays attention to the sporty sense of appearance, the people's dark night Yixuan MAX has long been extended to the car. Whether it is the delicate gold trim that extends horizontally, the black gold elements that can be seen everywhere in the front bezel, inner door panel and leather soft bag, or the delicate and comfortable suede with the exclusive embroidery LOGO of the dark night, and the unique original gold seat belt, all add a sense of sport to the Night MAX.
Looking at the cockpit of the shadow leopard, in addition to the eye-catching color scheme and carbon fiber pattern, there is no other place to shine in the entire interior, although the designer used a lot of soft materials to make up for the look, but in general, the grade of the shadow leopard interior does not meet its price.
Therefore, if you use the same as the evaluation standard, Trumpchi Shadow Leopard seems to be a little too confused! In this way, Dark Night Yixuan MAX won another round steadily.
For Generation Z young car players, exterior and interior movement are important, but the performance of the vehicle is what they are most concerned about. In terms of power, Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is equipped with GAC Trumpchi's new Julang Power Third Generation 1.5T GDI engine, with a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 270N·m. Combined with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, zero hundred acceleration can reach 6.95 seconds and fuel consumption is 5.7L. However, this gearbox is a recognized slot point, in order to obtain better ride, it sacrifices the speed of shifting, so that the downshift reaction is too slow, even after opening the sport mode, you need to step on the floor oil to trigger the downshift, this power logic makes it difficult to associate the shadow leopard with the sport attribute.
Look at the Dark Night Yixuan MAX Dawn Edition, which uses the Dongfeng Mach powered 1.5T engine, matches the Getrag 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, one of the world's top ten transmissions, with a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 330N·m. The same is a 1.5T engine, the same as a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, but only from the book data, the Dark Night Yixuan MAX Dawn Edition is a big win. Moreover, this set of Getrag 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission does not have a hard injury on the shadow leopard, excellent ride, soft upshift and downshifting action, and the overall performance is stable and confident, in line with Yixuan MAX's positioning of itself.
Not only that, Dongfeng Fengshen also equipped this sports car with a Mach-powered MHD oil-electric hybrid system, and the Dark Night Max Hybrid Edition will be able to complete 01-00km/h in 6.81 seconds while maintaining the 5.29L/100km (WLTC) comprehensive fuel consumption data, achieving performance and efficiency. Looking back at the Shadow Leopard J16, its breaking hundred data is only 6.95 seconds. What is even more embarrassing is that in the test of a certain media, the actual measurement score of the shadow leopard is 8.21 seconds, which is 1.26 seconds different from the 6.95 seconds that the official hyped up before.
The advantages of dark night Yixuan MAX do not stop there, Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan team in the CTCC China Auto Venue Professional League, with a total of 25 trophies, won the CTCC team and the driver of the double annual championship. Thanks to the technical advantages on the field, the entire walking system of the vehicle, from steering, suspension and even the chassis, is carefully designed. Among them, the CTCC champion team tuned the chassis and four-wheel independent suspension, which makes the dark night MAX's driving texture even better.
In fact, in terms of the quality of the product itself, the reputation of the early debut of the shadow leopard does not seem to be very good. Looking at the third-party complaint website, you will find that including the Shadow Leopard J15 version and the Shadow Leopard J16 version, there are many complaints involving the engine, gearbox, suspension and body accessories, of which the abnormal sound is the hardest hit area, and as a sports car, there are complaints of deviation, which is really regrettable. In addition, complaints about services are also somewhat incredible. In other words, there is a problem with the car, we can understand, but why can't the service keep up?
Product quality is directly reflected in sales, from the China Passenger Car Association to obtain the latest release of sales data, in January 2022, Shadow Leopard sales of 4458 units, in February it fell to 2002 units. In contrast, Yixuan MAX sold 5,494 units in January 2022 and 3,332 units in February. Although the sales of the two cars have not exceeded 10,000 in two months, in comparison, yixuan MAX sales performance is better.
Car world viewpoint
The so-called no more than not knowing, one than frightened. After such a simple comparison, the answer is already very clear. Regardless of appearance, interior, or performance, Dongfeng Fengshen Dark Night Yixuan MAX is far superior to Shadow Leopard. Of course, from the sales data, it can also reflect the excellence of the Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan MAX family. Therefore, if you let the editor make a closing remark, I just want to say to Chairman Zeng Qinghong, Ming Qi Shadow Leopard can become the king, why did it eventually fall into the bronze stream? Excessive marketing bragging is the cause, and the lack of product hard power is the core. Therefore, for the marketing team of GAC Trumpchi, it is important to remember that the higher you hold it, the more miserable it falls!
So, the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, who was favored by Zeng Qinghong, defeated the Dark Night Yixuan MAX, and lost? In the small editor's point of view, it is not unjust at all! In this regard, how do you old irons see it?
