When youth and sports have become the mainstream consumer concepts in the market, many car companies are moving closer to this aspect and doing their best to meet the increasingly young consumer demand. Since its listing last year, Shadow Leopard has fully demonstrated its ability to divert the flow, and has sold more than 10,000 for two consecutive months. The success of the shadow leopard, other competitive models are also naturally in the eyes, following the listing of Changan UNI-V, MG5 Scorpio also immediately joined this camp, about 100,000 sports models are more and more abundant.
Among the three brothers, the Shadow Leopard is biased towards sharpness, UNI-V is biased towards avant-garde, and MG5 Scorpio is biased towards strength, although their respective emphases are different, but they all have a common gene, that is, youth sports. From the appearance alone, it can be distinguished from the conventional entry-level family car.
Appearance: The three brothers have different emphases, but they are all young people's dishes
The time for shadow leopard to be listed is not short, but the appearance is still not outdated. The area of the grille occupies almost the entire front face, and is composed of multiple vertical lines that look layered. The hollow area of the fog lamp on both sides is not small, and with the air deflector troughs on both sides of the upper and middle nets, as well as the bright yellow accessories, anyone will be impressed by its sporty aesthetic.
The raised lines on the cabin canopy and the waist line running through the sides of the body can see the movement genes of the shadow leopard. The tail adopts the shape of the exhaust pipe with a total of four sides, which is very in line with the shadow leopard's sharp personality. Another detail that cannot be ignored is the use of bright yellow calipers, which complement the accessories of the central net.
From the appearance point of view, the shadow leopard gathers all the sports elements, the exaggerated middle net shape, the right color embellishment, and the smooth and distinct body line. If you give the appearance of the shadow leopard a score, the full score of 100 should be 95 points, if the entry-level model can also be equipped with LED headlights, the score of the shadow leopard will be higher.
Changan UNI-V looks more like an electric car from the outside, the borderless front face shape is full of technology and avant-garde sense, and the area of the central network can no longer be described as large, almost covering the entire front face. The hollow area on both sides is larger than that of the shadow leopard, and the flat mesh shape forms a contrasting beauty, coupled with the standard LED headlights of the whole series, giving people a feeling full of urban fashion.
UNI-V does not use the same four-outlet exhaust pipe shape as the Shadow Leopard, and the two-out exhaust pipe shape is very straightforward in front of us. While it doesn't look as powerful as the Shadow Leopard, UNI-V's through-line taillights play a remedy. In terms of body fluency, UNI-V gives people a more simple and capable feeling.
UNI-V also has a plus is the electric lift tail, not to mention how practical it is, at least in the visual effect is undoubtedly enough to earn eyeballs, invisibly to UNI-V to add a sports buff. If you give UNI-V a rating on its appearance, a score of 100 should be 96. After all, in this class, the electric lift tail is too attractive.
MG5 Scorpio can be said to be MG's pursuit of sports attributes in another commanding heights, as the earliest brand of independent brands to focus on sports genes, MG5 Scorpio in the young sports can be described as a master. The front of the car is slightly raised forward, and the interior of the net is composed of many diamonds of different sizes. The LED headlights on both sides are rounded and slender, and the lower enclosure also uses a dense diamond-shaped grid, and the cabin cover is covered with multiple rib lines, adding a lot of muscle.
The four-outlet exhaust pipe shape of the tail is much smaller than that of the Shadow Leopard and UNI-V, surrounded by a black mesh, and the hollow spoiler shape is comparable to the electric tail of the UNI-V. If you rate the appearance of MG5 Scorpio, it should be 96.5 points.
Summary: From the appearance alone, these three brothers have a very high athletic appearance, and they are also the type that can be remembered at a glance. And these three models have shown a diversification of athletic attributes in appearance, which is in line with aesthetic needs for young people.
Configuration: Keep up with the mainstream configuration, home is also excellent
After working the appearance, will there be no follow-up fatigue in the interior. Of course not, in terms of interior configuration, it has always been the strength of its own brand. Not only did it not fall behind, but it even had the performance of skipping the level.
The price of Shadow Leopard is 983-131,800 yuan, and the medium-equipped models are equipped with lane departure warning system, lane keeping assistance system, road traffic identification system, active braking system, and the secondary top and top models have increased the parallel assist and fatigue driving tips on this basis.
The price of more than 100,000 can have active brakes, which is not seen by the joint venture brands in the same level, and the practicality of this configuration is extremely great, increasing the safety during driving. In addition, keyless entry, remote start, power seats, touch LCD screens, voice control and other more commonly used functions are also convenient to use in the daily driving process.
Another valuable feature is the induction trunk, which is standard throughout the series. Among the models below 100,000, I am afraid that only shadow leopard can do it. And this configuration is not like the panoramic sunroof, which cannot be used several times a year, and the induction trunk is used every day, and it is really convenient to use.
UNI-V (1.5T version) is priced at 10.89-13.49 million yuan, and the medium-equipped model is equipped with a lane departure warning system, an active braking system, and fatigue driving tips, which is not so rich compared with the shadow leopard, but it can also be regarded as above the horizontal line. In terms of scientific and technological intelligence, the UNI-V series is equipped with 360-degree panoramic images and front and rear parking radar as standard.
In addition to the low-end version, other versions have also added an electric trunk position memory on the basis of supporting the induction trunk, which is still more user-friendly. In addition, UNI-V also supports keyless entry, remote start, power seats, voice control and other functions.
Compared to the Shadow Leopard, UNI-V's hidden electric door handle is a plus, except for the entry-level model, other versions support wireless charging of mobile phones. The whole series is equipped with 6 ultrasonic radars and 1 millimeter wave radar as standard, and the top model supports automatic parking. In terms of intelligent technology configuration, UNI-V is a strong point. However, in terms of price, it is slightly higher than that of Shadow Leopard, and the difference is not very large.
Priced at 102,900-117,900 yuan, mg5 Scorpio is also equipped with lane departure warning system, lane keeping assist system, road traffic sign recognition function, and active braking function. In terms of hardware configuration, the three cars are basically the same. In terms of intelligent technology, Shadow Leopard is slightly weaker, after all, the price advantage is here. Although there are no hidden electric door handles and electric trunks, other configurations are reflected in the top model.
Summary: In terms of configuration, the three products are comparable, compared with the joint venture brand, they are far ahead, and can meet the needs of the family. In terms of interior style design, mg5 Scorpio is better at detail control and sports atmosphere.
Power chapter: "Small steel cannon" is worthy of the title, and the power reserve is very abundant
The three brothers unanimously chose to be equipped with a 1.5T engine, the shadow leopard has a maximum horsepower of 177 and a peak torque of 270 Nm, which is matched by a 7-speed wet-block dual-clutch transmission, which accelerates in 000 seconds in sport mode by only 6.95 seconds. In the actual driving process, the starting speed is quite fast and smooth, and in the middle and rear section of the gear shift acceleration process, although there is a sense of frustration, but it is within the acceptance range.
Occasional sport modes are able to meet our needs for performance control. For the most part, it's a family car.
The UNI-V has a maximum horsepower of 188 and a peak torque of 300 Nm, which is matched by a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. In terms of power parameters, it is better than the shadow leopard. However, in the actual performance, UNI-V's handling is not as good as expected, and it does not open a significant gap with the shadow leopard.
However, on the sports model, UNI-V is equipped with a variable exhaust sound wave function, if you don't see its car, only hear its sound, UNI-V's performance is still very intimidating.
The MG5 Scorpio has a maximum horsepower of 181 and a peak torque of 285 Nm, which is matched by a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Of the three brothers, MG5 Scorpio is at a moderate level. Thanks to MG's long-term deep ploughing sports attributes, its power explosion is better than the book parameters. In the actual driving process, the mg5 Scorpio's handling is even much more than the UNI-V.
Summary: Although all three products are equipped with 1.5T engines, in terms of power performance, they are almost comparable to the 2.0T engines of the joint venture brand. If you give the power rating of these three products, UNI-V is 96 points, Shadow Leopard is 96.5 points, MG5 Scorpio is 97 points.
Space: Decent compact model, not much of a surprise
As a product that focuses on sports attributes, the three brothers are not comparable to B-class cars in terms of spatial performance like Xingrui. The body size is a decent performance, the Shadow Leopard length and width is 4700 *1850 * 1432mm, wheelbase is 2736mm; UNI-V length and width is 4680*1838*1430mm, wheelbase is 2750mm; MG5 Scorpio length and width is 4695*1842*1480mm, wheelbase is 2680mm.
Compared with Langyi, these three brothers are not weak in spatial performance, and there is no problem for daily household use. From the overall point of view, such product strength and cost performance, enough driving space, is already a superior performance. The surprises given to us in terms of appearance, configuration, and power are already large enough, so there is no need for surprises in space.
Conclusion: With a budget of early 100,000 yuan, if you do not want to be limited to the traditional scooters such as Langyi, Xuanyi and Yinglang, and have requirements for appearance, power and configuration, then Shadow Leopard, UNI-V, MG5 Scorpio is the best consideration option. If you subdivide it again, UNI-V can be given priority to those who pay attention to technology, and MG5 Scorpio and Shadow Leopard can be prioritized for controllability.
