A few days ago, GAC Trumpchi's Shadow Leopard brought an annual update, launching a total of 4 models, with prices ranging from 118,000 yuan to 158,000 yuan. The 2024 Shadow Leopard basically maintains the status quo in terms of appearance, interior and power, with only minor minor adjustments in details, and the upgrade points are mainly reflected in the configuration.
In terms of appearance, the 2024 Shadow Leopard continues the style of the 2023 400T model, with a sharp headlight cluster shape, with a blackened middle grille, and an inverted trapezoidal grille below, which is integrated with the air ducts on both sides to widen the visual effect of the entire front face. The new front lip is blackened, which makes the two fangs embedded in the grille stand out, further enhancing the ferocious momentum and bringing a more pronounced sense of sportiness. On the side of the body, the 2024 Shadow Leopard adopts a fastback coupe shape, and the side skirts extend to the upward line, making the body look very powerful. In addition, the new model is still equipped with orange-red brake calipers, which is very flamboyant. At the rear, the 2024 Shadow Leopard is equipped with a large blackened rear wing, split taillights, and most importantly, the blackened treatment of the rear surround, coupled with the exhaust design with a two-sided four-out layout, creating a strong fighting atmosphere.
The body size, the length, width and height of the 2024 Shadow Leopard is 4700 (4753)/1850/1432mm, and the wheelbase is 2736mm, which is the same as the 2023 model.
In terms of interior, the 2024 Shadow Leopard is basically unchanged, equipped with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, dual-screen control interface, some physical buttons and through-type air conditioning vents, and a new black and gray interior color. In terms of equipment, the 2024 Shadow Leopard has been upgraded to all models with 360 panoramic image, 540-degree image, ADiGO car machine system, and Yamaha audio as standard.
In terms of power, the 2024 Shadow Leopard continues to offer two powertrains: 1.5T and 2.0T. Among them, the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 270N·m, and the transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission with 92 gasoline; The 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 195kW and a maximum torque of 400Nm, and the transmission system is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission with 95 gasoline. In addition, the 2.0T model adds a balance bar at the top of the front overhang tower to further improve the vehicle's cornering performance and stability.
Love reviews
To sum up, the overall changes of the 2024 Shadow Leopard are not much, but they have still been improved in terms of safety and handling, such as the standard 360 panoramic image, 540-degree image, ADiGO car machine system and YAMAHA Yamaha audio, which has improved the cost performance of the vehicle to a certain extent. Although Shadow Leopard has also had monthly sales of more than 10,000 due to its price advantage, cool shape and strong performance. However, in the current environment of various "price reductions" by car companies, the price of the entry-level model of the 2024 Shadow Leopard has not decreased, but has increased by 10,000 yuan compared with the 2023 model, which is really not conducive to increasing sales. I wonder if the new model will once again be able to attract the attention of young consumers with its combative appearance and playability?
