The headlight group with LED light source on both sides is very sharp in shape, and it blends well with the silver chrome trim strips, and the visual impact is very strong.

The rear part of the car has a more sharp roof spoiler, which increases the overall sports atmosphere, and the tail light group also adopts the popular integrated through tail light group, the internal elements are compact and stylish, and it has a high degree of recognition after lighting.
For MPV, the interior and space are often the core of the vehicle. The interior of the Fengxing Yacht does not emphasize personality and simplicity, and the overall appearance of a simple and warm comfort is in line with the positioning of family cars. The center console is covered with a large area of soft materials, wood grain panels and circular radial air conditioning outlets, creating a unique "yacht" sense of luxury.

Overall, the popular yachts have a strong sense of technology, especially the top-of-the-line models, and the L2+ level intelligent driving assistance system is very good.
The seat performance of the popular yacht is also excellent, the color scheme and details are beautiful enough, the ride feeling is soft and comfortable, and the support and wrapping are satisfactory. The seat adopts a 2+2+3 layout, the 180 cm tall experiencer is in the last position of the front row, the remaining space of the head is punched and four fingers, at this time into the second row, the seat is adjusted to the end, the leg space is one punch and two fingers, and the head space remains one punch and one finger.

The trunk of the Wind And Yacht can hold two smaller trunks, and if the three rows of seats are lowered and reclined, the trunk volume performance is also excellent, and the overall space performance is excellent.
In terms of power, the whole series is equipped with a 1.5T engine as standard, with a maximum power of 197 horsepower and a maximum torque of 285 Nm, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Although it is a medium-sized MPV, it is easier to drive a popular yacht. The power response speed is very sensitive and explosive, but there is a slight frustration in the acceleration process, and the coherence of the power connection has a certain room for improvement.
