"What car to buy for 100,000 yuan?" It has always been an unavoidable topic for the majority of ordinary consumers, especially for major automakers. Compared with the creation of those hundreds of thousands and millions of models, manufacturers are more willing to study and develop models at this price point, and it is precisely because the competition for 100,000 yuan models in the domestic automobile market is becoming more and more fierce. For manufacturers, such competition is not what they want to see, but it is destined to be good news for consumers, which also allows consumers to have more choices in this price range.
The sedans that have been available at a price of 100,000 yuan have been very few in my mind, nothing more than those models created by common joint venture brands. But it wasn't until I drove today's protagonist, Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan MAX, that I found that the models created by our own brands were already so excellent.
Appearance: Attractive at the same price
In today's era, "appearance is justice" has become an indisputable fact, and the importance of face value to the vehicle even exceeds the vehicle itself. Dongfeng Fengshen's newly created Yixuan MAX can be said to be the one with the highest recognition and the highest return rate at this price point. The front of the car adopts the design concept of track storm aesthetic, and you will not forget it as long as you have seen it once.
The huge, borderless grille with black, silver and red MAX logos makes the car feel sporty. The headlight group of the Eye of the Storm Matrix LED is very eye-catching, and it can be said that it has fascinated many people, of course, including me. It should be known that it is not uncommon to use LED light groups at the price of 100,000 yuan, but it can be said that it is rare to say that there is a matrix type, which shows the good intentions of the Dongfeng Wind God.
The overall line of the body is very slender, and the body size is definitely the best in this price point, with a length of 4797mm, a width of 1870mm, a height of 1475mm, and a wheelbase of 2770mm. In addition to the large body size, Yixuan MAX also adopts the most popular slip-back style design of young people at present, so that the wind resistance coefficient of the whole vehicle is only 0.27cd, and such data performance is also very rare at this price point.
It is worth mentioning that this car uses a number of gun gray wheels, which can be said to play a finishing touch for the sportiness of the whole car. However, there is a point, although 17 inches for the family car is not small, but the visual effect presented is slightly less full, if the future can launch an optional 18-inch wheelSil I believe that the vehicle as a whole will be more sporty at the same time will also get more consumers to love.
What attracted me most about the MAX vehicle was the design of the rear. The sharp lines are matched with the current mainstream through-type rear taillights and through-type chrome decoration, which highlights the layering of the rear of the car and shows the sense of power of the rear of the car to the fullest.
In addition, the two designs of the rear bar of the vehicle personally found very flattering. Although the car does not use exposed exhaust, it is embellished with chrome decoration under the rear bar, which looks like an exhaust port at first glance; the middle part under the rear bar uses a design similar to F1 collar lights, which is very sporty. Just imagine, if the rear of the car does not have these two embellishments, the tail of the car will be reduced a lot, I have to say that the designer of Yixuan MAX is really careful.
Interior: Stands out at the same price
The interior of Yixuan MAX is more flattering, although the design is slightly uniform, but the materials are really thick. The interior mainly uses fur similar to the feel of ALCANTARA, plus the wood grain trim is very advanced, and the feel is also very good.
The material and filling of the seat belong to the softer one, and it is very comfortable to sit on without some other independent brands sitting for a long time and the ass pain is, it feels like sitting on the sofa at home. To say more, there is almost no pungent smell in the car, and I will not feel dizzy and nauseous when I drive for a long time, which can be regarded as getting rid of the shadow of poor air quality in the interior of my own brand.
The 12.3-inch LCD instrument and the 10.25-inch central control screen resolution clarity, the smoothness of the slide are not bad, but the car machine is equipped with a series of application software such as APP to open the speed slightly slower. It is worth mentioning that the functions that can be operated in the central control screen are also very rich, such as adjusting the angle of air conditioning blowing, the size of the ventilation of the main driver seat, the form of massage in the main driver seat, and also support central video, K song, voice interaction and other functions.
But I have to complain that it is a pity that I actually arranged ventilation, massage, and memory, but the function of not heating the main driver seat, if there is a heating, it is even more perfect. In addition, there is a row of touch buttons under the screen, but when the sun is strong, it is basically reflective and cannot see what is on it, and it is necessary to be particularly close to see clearly, so that it will affect safe driving, which is where I personally feel that I need to improve.
The rear space is really not worthy of its 2770mm wheelbase, I am 178 cm tall and weigh 160 pounds, adjust the driver's seat seat to my regular position, the rear leg space has more than two laps, the head space has three to four fingers, such a space performance in the price range of 100,000 yuan is really very outstanding.
In addition, in order to allow the rear passengers to have a better riding experience, Yixuan MAX also provides rear passengers with air outlets, USB interfaces, storage compartments, to know that the three configurations are not every 100,000 family car is equipped, can yixuan MAX for the treatment of rear passengers.
Driving: Different at the same price point
To be honest, I have not been fond of the driving of cars built by domestic independent brands at this price point. Weak power, loose chassis, soft suspension, this is the inherent impression in my mind, but when I really experienced the Yixuan MAX, I found that the original price of the independent brand can also do well in driving.
The first is the power of this car equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the maximum power of 140 kilowatts, the peak torque of 300 Nm, and the engine thermal efficiency of up to 41.07%, can be comparable to the joint venture brand sedan data is really rare at this price.
The second is the driving experience, the steering wheel of this car has a good soft and hard grip, the electronic taste is not strong, and the accuracy is not bad. The turn feel is a little lighter for men like me, but it will be very friendly for women. Chassis tuning is not the same as my impression of independent brand cars, the overall soft but not scattered. The suspension is more resilient, and the aftershocks and rebounds are basically not felt when encountering some relatively large bumps, but if it is some continuous fine bumps, it is slightly unasposed, and the sense of the road fed back into the carriage is also relatively clear.
The throttle is very brisk, the light touch of the car will jump forward, and stepping on the throttle to the end of the vehicle will still produce a good feeling of pushing back. The brake foot feel belongs to the car habit that is easy to get on the foot and can meet the needs of most people. The overall quietness is not bad, the speed is around 80 basically can not feel the wind noise, but the tire noise is slightly larger. It is worth mentioning that don't look at Yixuan MAX is only 100,000 yuan, but it has been equipped with a driver assistance system, the most important thing is that it is very easy to use, and it is really a surprise that it is not so abrupt to follow the car, deceleration, and speed-up.
Write at the end
At first, before I met Yixuan MAX, I didn't feel anything about it, and in my perception it was not ideal like other self-branded cars at the same price, but after actually experiencing it, I found that such a more old-fashioned idea was outdated. Yixuan MAX is much better than the independent brand sedan at this price point in my impression of, in terms of design, materials, space, power, and driving texture, and in some aspects, it can even compete with the same price car created by the joint venture brand. And its price of 93,900 yuan - 125,900 yuan shows the side of the Dongfeng Fengshen, such a wind god, such a dazzling MAX, I really love.
