In recent years, Chinese independent brands have always been able to launch blockbuster products in the field of SUVs, but in the field of cars, there has been no major improvement, and it can even be said that they have been rubbed on the ground by joint venture brands. However, with the accumulation of technology by Chinese car companies, sports compact family cars such as MG 6 and Trumpchi Shadow Leopard have gradually entered the hearts of consumers, and with the advent of Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan MAX (picture | configuration | inquiry), this camp will usher in a heavy player. What challenges will the fresh force pose to the old squad leader? With this question, we came to the beautiful Yunnan Lijiang test drive Yixuan MAX.
The typhoon in front of us, Yi Xuan MAX, in addition to the name is related to Yi Xuan, the rest is already a comprehensive evolution. First of all, the appearance design has a very obvious difference from Yi Xuan, and it is almost impossible to see the shadow of Yi Xuan. Yixuan MAX front face is more fashionable and technological sense, especially its middle net, officially called "digital sonic boom grille", rough look at some of the future technology on the new energy model, coupled with the chrome trim extending outward on both sides of the net, instantly enhance the exquisite sense of the whole vehicle. The high-end model uses an LED light group composed of 62 LED light sources, while the high beam of the hybrid low-end model we test-drove is a halogen bowl lamp, which is a bit of a pity.
Although Yixuan MAX positions the track-level wide-body car, it does not have a bloated feeling visually, and the secret is in this small hip at the rear of the car. The slip-on design makes the body look particularly compact. However, compared to the front of the car, the rear shape of the car is too complex and the lines are numerous. The taillight shape is also quite recognizable, officially known as "light blade through the taillight". However, the appearance belongs to the opinion, and perhaps the contemporary "trendy hot dads" are good at this mouthful.
The interior of the Yixuan MAX gives people the first feeling of combat, which stems from the design of the asymmetrical central control screen. And the central control screen has the effect of 3D surface, which is rare in the same level. The center console area is exceptionally simple, and the only air conditioning touch zone physical button is hidden in the air outlet area.
Yixuan MAX is equipped with the latest Windlink 6.0 car machine system, which has voice control, online navigation, Himalaya, cool music, and upgrades to CCTV video, car KTV, Huawei HiCar and smart watch control car and other more convenient functions. In addition, it is more innovative to provide a variety of scenario modes such as baby care, rain and snow weather, etc., integrating tedious operations in one mode, which can be directly activated through touch or voice.
Yixuan MAX equipped with intelligent driving assistance system function is very comprehensive, forward, sideways, parking, get off the car have a variety of safety systems, especially the lateral driving assistance system has newly added intersection assistance, emergency steering assistance and emergency lane keeping these functions, and unlike the ordinary L2 level driving assistance system, Yixuan MAX also has the functions of active lane change assist and trigger lane change assist.
In the power part, Yixuan MAX provides two power combinations of Mach-powered 1.5T+7DCT and 1.5T+HD120 MHD pole and hybrid system. The petrol version of the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 203 hp and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. The hybrid version reduces the power of the fuel version by 20 kW in terms of engine, but with the motor assistance of the maximum power of 130 kW, the acceleration performance of 0-100 km/h is about 0.55 seconds faster than that of the fuel version, the acceleration time of the official nominal fuel version of 0-100 km/h is 7.5 s, and the hybrid version is 6.95 s.
The reason why many people like hybrids is because they can enjoy the feeling of speeding up after the double engine blessing. It turns out that Yixuan MAX did not disappoint, it can be said that within the legal speed, its power is on call, acceleration without dragging mud and water. If you want to overtake a car on the highway, you can say that you have to lift your feet. At this time, you will feel that it is really a bit of an official slogan: "My family car, can also be tracked!" "That feeling. The braking force of the brakes is also good, the foot feeling is very linear, which is commonly known as the heel foot, so there will be no too strong inertia in the car when braking, ensuring the comfort of passengers.
Through this test drive, Yixuan MAX left a good impression on me. First of all, its appearance is very good, and secondly, the wide body shape is also very handsome. And it is the first model based on the DSMA architecture, in all aspects, its target users are dad force MAX trend hot dad, to give users a perfect choice to balance self-driving fun and family quality life. It is foreseeable that the direct competitors of Yixuan MAX are MG 6, Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, these independent brands of sports car, but compared to the latter two, Yixuan MAX has the reputation of Yixuan users, which is the advantage of Yixuan MAX, as the flagship model of the Yixuan car series, I believe that Yixuan MAX will definitely kill its own piece of the world in the Red Sea market of compact cars with its overall product strength.
