In recent years, the competition in the domestic compact SUV market has become more and more fierce, especially the enthusiasm of some domestic brands is particularly high, and they have joined the competition through independent research and development or new cars on mature platforms. This kind of development like a hundred schools of contention allows domestic consumers to have a greater choice, and today Che Uncle has brought you two domestic compact SUVs with low price levels, which are Venucia T70 and Fengxing T5.
The 2020 Venucia T70 was launched in July 2019, and the new car has a total of 3 configurations in the whole series, with a price range of 109,800 to 127,800 yuan. The 2021 Fengxing T5 was launched in October 2020, and the new car has a total of 7 configurations in the whole series, with a price range of 69,900 to 129,900 yuan.
Next, the car uncle will focus on selecting the top version of the two cars for comparison, the price difference between the two is not large, so which model has a higher product power under this premise?
Exterior design
As an annual redesign, the 2020 Venucia T70 has not changed much in terms of appearance design, of which the front face design of the new car is not amazing, we can see similar design language in models such as D60, which is the standard Venucia family style. The area of the intake grille is larger, while the size of the lower air inlet is further increased, the shape is trapezoidal, and the fog light area on both sides has changed, which looks more atmospheric and tough. The sharply shaped headlights on both sides are connected to the central mesh through the trim strips, and the whole series is equipped with far and near halogen headlights as standard, and is equipped with LED daytime running light strips.
The design of the vehicle of the Fengxing T5 is more regular, among which the front face of the new model is equipped with an inverted trapezoidal grille, the interior is filled with blackened trim panels, and the silver trim strip above the middle net connects the left and right side light groups, which enhances the integrity of the front face design. The shape of the light group is angular, the polyline-like light strip is under the light group and connected with the silver trim at the bottom of the middle net, which looks very interesting, and the lighting also uses a halogen light source, but compared to the T70, it is more than self-adapting to near and far lights, automatic headlights, turn assist lights and other functions.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of venucia T70 are 4630× 1845×1653 mm, and the wheelbase is 2630 mm. The body side design of this model has a strong crossover style, which we can see from the silver luggage rack and bottom skid plate of the car. In addition to this, the bottom wheel of the new car resembles a petal shape, consisting of two shades of black and silver, and the way the diamond is cut is introduced.
The specific length, width and height of the Fengxing T5 are 4460×1820×1720 mm, and the wheelbase is 2720mm, which has a significant lead in wheelbase. The body side design of the new car is relatively short and concise, the window periphery and the roof rack are equipped with silver decorations, and the rear row is also equipped with privacy glass, which has a certain shading function, which helps to improve the riding comfort of the rear passengers.
The rear design of Venucia T70 is slightly flat compared to the front part, and the entire tail design is more to cater to the front face and the lines of the whole vehicle, so it looks more coordinated. Among them, the main highlight of the tail is reflected in the tail light group, the width light and the turn signal are LED light sources, and the surrounding area is blackened, and the fog light is similar to the pilot light is placed at the rear bumper.
The rear shape of the Fengxing T5 is more solid, and the sense of layering is very strong, and the rear part of the car has increased the black guard plate under the tail tag compared with the old model, and the shape of the silver lower guard plate has been slightly adjusted. The taillight set is similar to the headlights, with a curved strip attached to the heavy black trim, but the shape looks slightly bloated.
Interior design
Venucia T70's interior design is decent, tending to be a traditional family car, and the leather material and imitation leather fabric in the car can be seen everywhere, or has a certain sense of grade. Among them, the steering wheel in front of the new owner drives with a three-frame flat-bottom design, the size of the disk body is moderate, the grip is relatively full, and the functional buttons on both sides cover the whole, which can adjust the cruise control, multimedia and other applications. The center console is equipped with an embedded 10.1-inch touch LCD screen, which has Bluetooth car phone, voice recognition control, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, etc. in terms of functions.
The interior design of the Fengxing T5 looks more novel, the entire central control operation area is obviously inclined to the driver's side, which facilitates the daily operation of the owner, the surface of the center console and the inside of the door panel are covered with a large area of soft materials, the temperament is good, and there is no too strong odor, sitting in the car will not feel the uncomfortable taste. The central control operation area is consistent with the old model, and the upper part is equipped with a vertical central control display screen with a size of 12 inches, which is more responsive, and there is a situation of reading the cache after entering some functions, but the overall performance is still excellent enough.
Venucia T70 interior seats are wrapped in imitation leather fabric and functionally support the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat. The front seats in the new model are relatively wide, and the interior is thickly padded, which has a certain sense of immersion when riding.
The interior seats of the Fengxing T5 are also wrapped in imitation leather fabrics, and the functions are more than the two-way adjustment of the waist support of the main driver's seat compared to the T70, the electric adjustment of the passenger seat, and the heating of the front seat. The front seat shape of the new car is consistent with the old model, the overall design is relatively sporty, the internal padding is moderately soft and hard, the backrest is close to the human body, and the comfort performance is good.

Uncle Che summed up
As domestic compact SUVs, Venucia T70 and Fengxing T5 both have relatively grounded prices, and the configuration performance is also rich enough.
