Mention the coupe, subconsciously think of Honda Civic, Volkswagen Lingdu, among them, Lingdu into the domestic market time, much later than the Civic, coupled with the emergence of the tenth generation of Civic, making the Domain of Civic loud, become a household name star car, therefore, for a long time, Civic's popularity and audience are all pressed against Lingdu. However, with the improvement of the car manufacturing process of independent car companies, Civic has also ushered in many fierce enemies, like the Shadow Leopard launched by Trumpchi, on the basis of the 1.5T engine, it brings the maximum power of 177 horsepower, which is comparable to the performance of the Civic, plus the starting price of less than 100,000 yuan, which is much closer to the people than the price of the Civic, but it highlights the cost performance of the Shadow Leopard. Because of this, soon after the Shadow Leopard entered the market, it quickly achieved monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles, the momentum was close to the Civic, and it also became a star car in the field of coupe.
The hot sales of Shadow Leopard have indeed improved GAC Trumpchi's right to speak in the car market to a certain extent. It is worth mentioning that Trumpchi has now released a new SUV and named it Shadow Cool, which seems to be a member of the "Shadow" series. It is understood that the new car is based on the GPMA architecture, and will also be equipped with the Julang hybrid GMC2.0 system, which will be the first SUV under the GAC Trumpchi Julang hybrid brand, so Trumpchi should pay attention to this car. At present, the new car has not been officially listed, but a lot of product information has been announced, plus this car is the main post-95 young group, therefore, I think the potential market of Shadow Cool is not small, then, can the new car be like Shadow Leopard, but also easily achieve monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles?
In terms of appearance, the new car is integrated into the aesthetic design language of the science and technology industry, making the front of the car look quite sci-fi. Fork design of the "Eye of Revelation" headlights, respectively embedded in both sides, the middle of the flat black grille connection, Trumpchi traditional car logo embedded in the C position, the line of sight down, you can see the "jump grating" grille composed of more "V" characters, the outline of the lower grille is still faintly visible, the internal network is diffusion design, the heat dissipation decorative frame at both ends, it seems to be equipped with a double-segment light strip, the recognition of the entire front face is not low, looking quite young, the fly in the ointment is that the traditional car logo equipped with the front of the car is somewhat bulky, This makes the high-end atmosphere somewhat lacking.
The A-pillar is blackened, and the lines on the side of the body are staggered, making the body muscle properties obvious. In the front and rear wheel eyebrows and side skirt parts, you can see the black guard plate, combined with multi-spoke wheels, adding a lot of sports atmosphere. The rear of the car is equipped with a hollow tail wing, the narrow and long style of headlights is vertically embedded in both sides of the rear windshield, the lines of the surface of the tailgate are also relatively sharp, the large size rear bumper below, respectively, is decorated with black and silver guard plates, the exhaust ports of the two sides are vertical design, and the reflective light strip forms a symmetrical design, the overall mechanical atmosphere is not bad, and the sports atmosphere is also relatively thick.
The interior design of the car is simple and windy, and the three-panel multi-functional flat-bottom steering wheel is decorated with bright color decorative strips, which adds a lot of visual sophistication. Instrument screen and central control screen for the split design, of which, the central control screen is not only much larger than the instrument screen, but also built-in ADiGO 5.0 intelligent driving interconnection ecosystem, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, showing a super sense interactive intelligent cockpit 2.0, may be the intelligent system is relatively complete, mature reason, the car is not additionally equipped with mechanical or touch buttons, so that the scientific and technological atmosphere in the car is also good. In addition, Yingku is also equipped with a sunroof with a length of 1220mm and a width of 810mm, which improves the brightness of the car to a certain extent due to the light transmission area of 0.99 square meters.
As for the power, Yingku brings three power combinations, namely 2.0TGDI engine + Aisin 8AT transmission, 1.5TGDI engine + 7 moisture-blocking dual-clutch transmission, and 2.0ATK Atkinson engine + GMC2.0 second-generation electric coupling system, of which 2.0ATK Atkinson engine + GMC2.0 second-generation electric coupling system is julang hybrid GMC2.0 system, which is composed of GAC Trumpchi GMC hybrid system and THS hybrid system cooperated with Toyota, and the research and development time is as long as 13 years, and the quality is not to worry. You should know that Shadow Leopard only provides a 1.5T engine, and the maximum power of the entry-level model is 177 horsepower, so I think The performance strength of Shadow Cool will be on the next level.
Summary: The appearance of Yingku and the design of the interior are still quite in line with the appetite of young people, the diversity of power, but also to meet the needs of different groups, plus it is only a compact SUV, it can be seen that the product competitiveness of this car is not bad. However, in today's compact SUV market, there are many models of various types, among which there are many models that provide a variety of power like Yingku, so I think that after Yingku enters the market, it should not be difficult to sell thousands of units per month, but whether it can achieve monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles may also depend on whether the price of specific new cars is sincere enough.
