The generally powerful engine looks quite powerful, but this 1.5T engine, which does not look unusual to the naked eye, has reached 203 horsepower and a peak torque of 320N .m, not only crushing Honda's 1.5T, but also beating the 2.0T of Geely Xingrui, the 2.0T of the Audi A4L, and the 2.0T medium power engine of bmw 325i. Its name is "Mach Power", and this car is Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan MAX (picture | configuration| inquiry). But if you say that it is the same as the Honda Fit is to "buy an engine and send a car", Dongfeng Fengshen may not agree, because Yixuan MAX is regarded as a brand flagship car to build, and the subtext is "everything is good!" "Is there such a god?" Let's have a good experience today.
First of all, we look at the appearance, the design of the Fengshen Yixuan MAX is much better than its "low-key" engine. The body with a lot of sharp lines is called "track storm aesthetics" by the wind god, and the overall shape of Yi Xuan (picture | configuration | inquiry) is very similar, and the front face grille area is very large, the details are this scaly, the sports impact is very strong, and the side is more "true coupe" body proportions, like the angle between the back and waistline, Yi Xuan MAX is 17.7 degrees, more aggressive than the Civic's 17.9 degrees.
Both the headlights and tail lights use a light cluster with a flowing water steering function, the headlights are composed of 62 LEDs, and the tail lights are 153 LEDs. We see that the taillights are already a through-through presentation, and the headlights have reserved a through-through design here. It should be noted that this test drive is still in the state of the trial production of engineering vehicles, it is said that there will be a light-lit version after mass production, of course, it must be above the middle and high grades. In fact, whether it is Yi Xuan, Yi Xuan GS or this time Yi Xuan MAX, they have made great efforts in the lighting system.
This logo – MAX. The literal meaning is "this car is bigger", the difference of 3mm to 4.8 meters in length, 2770mm wheelbase, is like the popular A+ class sedan in the past two years, like Toyota also launched the Asiatic Lion and Lingshang. The width of the Yixuan MAX is more advantageous, the 1870mm data is conducive to the layout of a wider central console / central armrest, and the rear seat is more comfortable when riding three people, so the Yixuan MAX in the Fengshen's own planning is not only large, but as a sedan flagship to build.
Obviously, the visual experience of the material is relatively high-end, the front dashboard and the inside of the side, including the rear door, are three layers of soft wrapping of upper part, middle suede, and lower leather, and the middle is also modified by matte chrome strips. The foam layer under the suede skin is also relatively thick and does not look very thin. It's just that the surface hair is relatively short, and there is no luxury car to buy authorized Alcantara to touch luxurious.
The full LCD instrument and the 12.3-inch car machine screen present a scientific and technological atmosphere, and this screen is still a bit curved. System version windlink 5.0, I experienced the AX7 windlink 3.0 two years ago has been very good to use, did not expect to iterate so fast, it is said that Yixuan MAX directly after mass production on 6.0. Voice, navigation, entertainment these functions have been perfected!
Steering wheel area can see lane keeping, with the car distance adjustment, is obviously an L2 + system, this is the platform advantage - Yixuan MAX from the DSMA platform, and before the Fengshen Yixuan and Yixuan GS are used dongfeng and PSA cooperation to develop the CMP platform, the current information about the DSMA platform is not a lot, but in fact it is based on the CMP platform to upgrade, the model size can be applied is larger, the chassis from the CMP's torsion beam rear suspension to independent rear suspension, And the electronics and electrification are more advanced, supporting quasi-L3 and vehicle FOTA.
The back row space is good and you can "paralyse". Our round trip from Lijiang to Shangri-La is more than 7 hours, and if it is a normal size A-class car, it will certainly not be so comfortable. The cushions are very thick, but I am a 140-pound person who sits down and can feel the keel of the seat slightly, and I don't know if it is related to this car or the engineering prototype car.
In terms of dynamics, we deeply felt the actual performance of Mach power during these 7 hours of driving! Data on it is a mass production of 1.5T supercharged model is currently one of the best in China, kicking BMW, bursting Honda, thermal efficiency of 41.07%. In terms of actual performance, the acceleration of the initial stage, the power of getrag wet 7DCT is a second or two time delay, the mid-section acceleration is more symmetrical, and the acceleration and downshift at 80km/h can achieve 7 drops 4, but after the high-speed speed of 120 kilometers per hour, it is gradually downshipped. The overall power feels more abundant, and it is easy to promote this A+ class model. But Yixuan MAX is larger than the "little prince of the track" Yixuan sedan, so it is not a complete sports orientation, but the comfort is good, although its suspension is relatively hard, but the toughness when crushing the damaged road surface is very good, plus the seat cushion is relatively thick, so the comfort of the rear row is close to the family consumer group.
After the long test drive, let's summarize the performance of the Wind God Yixuan MAX. First of all, MAX is not only big, the wind god from Yixuan and AX7 PRO, the design of the past two years has indeed improved, and Yixuan MAX has made progress than Yixuan, and the details are more attractive and more mature. In terms of positioning, Mach 1.5T power has both 6L of more than 100 kilometers of fuel consumption and strong power, which is naturally the core competitiveness. However, after all, the car is bigger, I think YiXuan MAX is a very comfortable, dynamic and advanced family car, compared to the rally championship of the "track god car" Yi Xuan to say that the dynamic performance is slightly weakened, but the chassis quality, the quietness of the vehicle and the interior luxury are more advanced.
