For most young people in the city, what are the highlights of a car that can be ranked as their first choice? In fact, this seems to be a headache for manufacturers, but from my point of view, young people have been exposed to a lot of new things since childhood, so they are not interested in those vehicles with old-fashioned product design, traditional functions, and decent performance. Therefore, I think that the vast majority of young consumers will put power performance, intelligence, and comfort in the first place when buying a car, after all, the car is used to drive, and if it is uncomfortable to drive, then it will be worrying every day. At this time, I will think over and over again in my heart, why didn't I choose a car I liked at that time, why did I settle for it?
Summing up the three conditions I analyzed, the first model that comes to my mind is the upcoming Roewe DX5 DMH. Just some time ago, the pre-sale price of this model was announced, and the price of 119,800-146,800 yuan seems to be out of the mass consumer class, but in fact, the positioning of this car is worthy of the price. From the perspective of exterior design, the new car continues the design style of the Roewe RX5 fuel version, retains popular design elements such as a floating roof and hidden door handles, and adds a closed front face and a through-type LED headlight design, which is more recognizable overall.
Mainly looking at the body size, and the size of the BYD Song PLUS DM-i is close, the length of the Roewe DX5 DMH reaches 4.7 meters, and the width of the car is 1.89 meters, these two parameters are ahead of most joint venture compact SUVs, and the wheelbase exceeds 2.76 meters, on the whole, the volume is larger than the general compact SUV. Due to the advantages of size, the interior space of this car is considerable. When Roewe announced the pre-sale price of the new car, I went to the local Roewe dealer early to experience it.
I'm 1.78 meters tall, and after the front seat is adjusted to a normal sitting position, after sitting in the second row, there is still about two and a half fists of legroom. The support of the seat is no problem, but the length of the cushion is not enough, it would be nice if it could be lengthened by 10 cm, and the angle of the seat back is a little straight, if you can adjust it to the back by 10 degrees, it is very good, so that you will feel a more open sense of space when you sit in, and you will not feel too tired for long-distance rides. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the support of the front seats is also good, the sense of wrapping is good, and the front of the car can be seen under the premise of sitting in a dangerous position, and the main driver's vision is good.
The interior design is better than the mainstream family SUV, there are not so many complicated line elements to interfere with the line of sight, if the whole cockpit is distinguished by color, then it can be roughly divided into "black area", "gray area", "corn area", according to the different colors, we can quickly find the functional area, while different color partitions deepen the sense of interior hierarchy, not easy to form aesthetic fatigue. In daily use scenarios, although the layout of the 12.3+12.3-inch dual screen is more traditional, the black smudge UI interface and the black border are integrated, and the visual upper frame is narrowed, combined with the double-spoke multi-function steering wheel design, the look is simple and intuitive. In addition, the central control armrest area is covered with a large area of silver-gray trim, the electronic gear knob has a simple shape, a full grip feel, and some parts are made of metal wire drawing technology, and the overall sense of refinement is good.
In terms of power, the Roewe D5X DMH will use a new 1.5T plug-in hybrid system, compared with the current mainstream plug-in hybrid power system on the market, the biggest difference is the hybrid engine. The new car uses a hybrid engine with turbocharging, which will perform better in terms of power performance at the maximum limit, and the car will not be unable to climb or stall even when the battery is fed. According to the test drive experience, it can be clearly told that the overall driving quality of this car is good, between 40-60km/h, low-speed driving is a bit loud, but compared with electric vehicles, the low-frequency noise is much more comfortable, after the speed of 80km/h, the cockpit will become much quieter, in short, driving fast is quieter. In addition, the acceleration is brisk, the power output texture is also very smooth, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 2.7L/100km, which is in line with expectations.
epilogue
Finally, when it comes to the price level that everyone cares about, combined with the pre-sale price information mentioned above, I believe that under the market situation of this year's involution, the price of Roewe D5X DMH will drop to a certain extent after it is listed, or the corresponding preferential policies will be launched when the new car price is announced to attract traffic. As for the product power, the household characteristics of this car are undoubted, there is power, economy, and space, but it would be better if the comfort of the rear space could be optimized.
