As a blockbuster model of Dongfeng Fengxing, Thunder has a very good performance in terms of appearance and power.
Appearance.
The overall appearance of the Thunder and the T5EVO has a very high degree of similarity, but as a new pure electric model, the front face of the Thunder has been redesigned, showing a stronger sense of technology and futurism, and the detail design is also more youthful.
The overall styling design was designed by former Mercedes-Benz designer Hans Henning Knoppflye. In addition to Mercedes-Benz, he has also worked for Volvo, GM and Mitsubishi, including Mercedes-Benz SLK, Vision GT, Volvo FL series, etc. It adopts the design language of Fengdong, and highlights the design elements such as futuristic and technological sense in the design.
The front face adopts a frameless parametric mecha dragon scale grille design, and the grille texture is composed of many hexagons, which looks futuristic. The original factory comes with a set of sporty small surround kits, including the front lip, side skirt and back lip, the visual sense of movement is strengthened, to meet the aesthetic taste of today's young people.
The bright orange horizontal strip is located directly above the faux diffuser, which adjusts the height of the visual center of the rear of the car and makes the rear look more harmonious.
The fast-charging port is located on the left edge of the rear bumper and can be seen by opening a quadrangular cover. The slow charging port is located on the right side of the rear of the car, which is the location of the fuel filler port on the T5EVO.
Interior parts.
In addition to supporting 360-degree panoramic images, Thunder also supports a variety of modes such as synthetic 3D surround view, which meets the needs of users in different car scenarios, and the display clarity is also very good. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has a flat bottom design with perforated treatment on both sides to increase grip friction.
The multi-function buttons on the steering wheel are larger, which is more convenient to press and not easy to touch by mistake. Commonly used instrument cluster settings, audio, driving assistance systems, panoramic images, voice control, car WeChat and other function buttons are integrated.
The size of the full LCD instrument cluster is also 10.25 inches, which is in the same frame as the multimedia system screen, and the color and resolution performance are also remarkable. On the left side of the center console, you can see the exterior mirror adjustment, the stability system switch, and the trunk switch. Only the temperature and air volume of the air conditioner panel are adjusted by physical knobs, and the others are touch buttons.
The mezzanine at the bottom of the centre console has a 12V cigarette lighter connector and a USBTypeC charging port.
The front row adopts a sports seat with integrated headrests, the seats are printed with the brand lion logo, and support 10-way electric adjustment, seat memory, 3 levels of ventilation/heating, and 5 seat massage modes.
The design of the rear seats is the same as that of the front seats, with a central seat with headrests and fold-out armrests. The seat padding is moderately soft and hard, and the length/height of the seat cushion and the reclining angle of the backrest are appropriate, so you won't feel tired after a long ride.
There is no significant bulge in the center of the rear floor, and with the wide rear floor aisle, the feet of the central passenger can rest naturally and comfortably on the floor.
