Hello everyone, here is United Engine, a small car media that hovers on the brink of bankruptcy.
Today's competitiveness analysis, let's take a look at the latest joint version of the Fengxing T5 EVO created by dongfeng fengxing young people, the fengxing T5 EVO heat wave version.
In the past two years, the rejuvenation of China's automobile market has been deepening, in the 100,000 yuan level of the main price range for young people to buy a car is the most obvious, a variety of models not only the original design is getting younger and younger, but also for young people to create a limited edition, two versions of the model, hoping to resonate with the spirit of the brand young people.
Just like the T5 EVO heatwave version launched by Dongfeng Fengxing, it has jointly named the national comic "Wu Liu Qi", which has a huge influence among young people, and even created a foreign article for this purpose, which is also one of the most heartfelt brands in the recent joint name.
In terms of price, the price range of the Fengxing T5 EVO heatwave version is still relatively close to the people, and the whole series is in the range of 108,900-130,900 yuan, all of which use the powertrain of 1.5T+7DCT, an increase of 5,000 yuan compared with the ordinary version.
The Fengxing T5 EVO heatwave version is basically the same as the basic configuration of the ordinary version of the model, mainly in the design of a new set of sports kits.
The T5 EVO heatwave version as a whole has not changed much, except that the paint surface adopts a new heat wave yellow color design, forming a yellow and black matching um extra, grille, through-line running lights, small slipback body, tail brake lights and other elements that everyone likes are consistent.
The biggest design element changed under the encirclement, and the front and rear of the vehicle were added to the sports kit called Sharp Blade Attack under the encirclement, and the yellow and black color scheme injected stronger vitality into the whole vehicle. More importantly, the addition of the lower encirclement kit makes the whole vehicle form a stronger low lying effect, making the whole vehicle have a stronger sense of combat.
Relative to the appearance, the interior changes have increased, in addition to changing to black and yellow color collocation, in the seams, seat support using yellow leather, to strengthen the vitality of the vehicle, but also increased a lot of carbon fiber pattern of the trim, in addition to the co-driver in front of the panel there are feather-like pattern decoration. And there is also a great improvement in the material, the use of NAPPA leather seats such as the configuration, for this level of products, is indeed quite high-end.
In terms of power, the T5 EVO heatwave version still adopts the power combination of Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi's 1.5T+7DCT, with a maximum horsepower of 197 horses and a maximum torque of 285N·m, reaching the leading level of the same class and the same displacement model. I believe that it will also be a great attraction for young users who have the pursuit of driving.
So, how competitive is the T5 EVO heatwave version?
Today, we will compare the Dongfeng Fengxing T5 EVO Diamond Edition heat wave (119,900 yuan) with the Geely Boyue X smart type (122,800 yuan) to see which car is more suitable for young people.
In terms of brand, although Dongfeng Fengxing is also an old Chinese brand, it is still late in the field of passenger cars, and it is only in the field of passenger cars that the T5 EVO has begun to exert its strength in the field of passenger cars, compared with Geely, which is deeply rooted in the passenger car sector, the brand power is not so strong, not to mention that the Boyue family has long occupied the forefront of compact SUV sales. T5 EVO to surpass Boyue, more or look at the product force.
In terms of price, the price range of the two cars is relatively close, both around 120,000 yuan, but at present, Boyue X is more preferential, and the terminal price has a slight advantage. In fact, not only this configuration, in fact, the pricing of the T5 EVO is to benchmark Boyue, and the size is close, and the target population of the two cars has a certain overlap.
For younger users, motivation is one of their biggest concerns. In terms of power, although the Boyue X has a larger displacement, the power of the two cars is similar, the maximum power of the T5 EVO is 10kW ahead, and the Maximum Torque of the Boyue X is 15N·m, but the gap cannot be closed.
However, the difference in displacement makes the T5 EVO more advantageous in power, and its fuel consumption per 100 kilometers under NEDC conditions is only 6.6L, which is 1.1L/100km less than Boyue X, which has a greater advantage in the cost of daily use. If you're more focused on fuel economy, then the T5 EVO is obviously the better option.
In terms of size, the T5 EVO still has certain advantages over the Boyue X. However, although the T5 EVO heatwave version has an extra 106mm on the T length, but with reference to the ordinary version of the model, many of its lengths are elongated by the appearance kit, and the original length and Boyue X are basically in an order of magnitude. But overall, the T5 EVO has more advantages in terms of length, width and wheelbase, the rear space and ride comfort in the car will be better, if it is a user with high rear utilization, obviously the T5 EVO will be more suitable for you.
In terms of configuration, the T5 EVO will be higher in both comfort configuration and intelligent auxiliary configuration. In terms of comfort configuration, the seat has more lumbar support, armrest cup holders in the rear row, air filtration, etc., and even two more horns. The T5 EVO also has more lane departure warning and active braking, and more head air curtains, which is more secure in safety. Boyue X, on the other hand, has panoramic images, which is also a very useful feature. From the configuration point of view, there is no doubt that the T5 EVO is more worth buying.
It can be said that the Dongfeng Fengxing T5 EVO is a fairly good product and is quite competitive among mainstream compact SUVs. However, although the current T5 EVO products have kept up with the mainstream trend, the brand is still relatively weak, limiting its market performance, and the future trend needs to continue to strengthen brand building. In addition, the Mitsubishi engine used by the T5 EVO, and its acceleration performance on the one hand, as a whole, the engine technical reserves and adjustment capabilities are relatively limited, and it must be overcome in the future to show its strength in the passenger car market.
Summary: Dongfeng Fengxing T5 EVO and Geely Boyue X are both highly competitive products in the same class.
Relatively speaking, the Fengxing T5 EVO heat wave version has more advantages in configuration, performance, and economy, and the design is more with a sense, if you are more concerned about the cost of the car, or the value control, then this car will definitely be your dish.
If you pay more attention to the brand, the brand service, the retention rate or the person who wants the product to be convenient for maintenance when using the car, then the Geely Boyue X with stronger brand power and more service outlets will obviously be more suitable for you.
Starting from the Fengxing T5 EVO, Dongfeng Fengxing's passenger cars have been greatly improved in design and product strength, and have entered the mainstream level range of the current market, which has greatly changed the perception of the Dongfeng Fengxing brand in the minds of users, and has played a positive role in the upward development of the Dongfeng Fengxing brand and the development towards the passengerization. If Dongfeng Fengxing can keep up with the rhythm of follow-up products and ensure the quality and service of good products, then I believe that dongfeng Fengxing brand will also rely on this product to achieve brand value-added. In the future, the increasingly competitive Chinese brand market will find a foothold.
