On April 15th, Dongfeng Fengxing's new MPV model Fengxing Yacht was officially released, yes, the name of this car is called "Yacht", which is based on the "Super Cube EMA Platform Architecture" and is a blockbuster strategic model after the renovation of dongfeng Fengxing brand.
The reason why the car was named "Yacht" is mainly because in terms of styling, it looks like a yacht. In the front face design, the new car uses an air intake grille similar to the hull, and the chrome decoration in the middle also outlines a tip, which looks like a yacht is coming towards you. Not only is the grille huge, but the interior waterfall trim makes the front of the car more bold.
In addition, the outer ring of the grille is surrounded by thick chrome decorative strips, and it also extends to the entire window edge of the body side, which is very holistic and also makes the body look more slender.
The shape of the headlight group is very chic, and the shape of the LED daytime running lights adopts the "tear eye" style, which is more fashionable, which is completely different from the previous vehicle style of Dongfeng Fengxing.
On the side, the body lines of the wind yacht look very slender, the hidden B-pillar/C-pillar and the blank D-pillar create a good suspended roof effect as a whole, and the roof and front parts are designed with a sunken design concept, which has a sense of déjà vu of a luxury cruise ship. In addition, the new car is 4850/1900/1715mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2900mm, and the size is also very large, which is also in line with the yacht.
Coming to the rear, the design of the new car is more concise, the taillights use the popular through-type taillights, and the shape of the light sources on both sides echoes the headlights.
In terms of interior design, the fengxing yacht is also built according to the standards of the yacht, and the new car is largely covered with wood grain trim and leather soft coating, diamond check stitching and marble surface trim, all of which exude yacht-like elegance and luxury. The central control screen adopts the popular double screen design, and the gear lever also adopts a yacht-style shift lever. The new car will feature a 2+2+3 seat layout, and will also offer L2-level driver assistance functions as well as a new intelligent networking system.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 1.5T in-cylinder direct injection engine + Magna 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum engine output of 145 kW (197 hp) and a peak torque of 285 N·m. This power combination has also been seen on the previous Fengxing T5 EVO, and its advantage is fuel saving, so the comprehensive fuel consumption of Fengxing Yacht is only about 6.6 liters, and the official intention should be to achieve a better balance between power and fuel consumption. It is understood that Dongfeng Fengxing will also launch a hybrid version of Fengxing Yacht next year, and after 2023, it will mainly promote hybrid and pure electric models.
Detective Che has something to say
From the current planning of Dongfeng Fengxing, Fengxing Yacht will be a model promoted by Dongfeng Fengxing in the future, after all, with the liberalization of the two-child and three-child policies, the current multi-child family urgently needs a 7-seat MPV model to be able to meet the family's travel, the arrival of the Fengxing Yacht is still more appropriate, but from the current official disclosure of the situation, this model in addition to the appearance of quite a good look, other aspects of the advantages are not large, whether it can grab some share in the MPV model is really uncertain, What do you think of this car?
