Yixuan GS test drive: matrix LED headlights, electric leather seat active braking, comfortable and practical

author:East Wind God Wang Wei

Recently, colleagues in Beijing test-drove the new Audi A6 Allroad, allowing everyone to transform into lemon essence. You know, this kind of temperament with a bit of wild, practical and leveraged crossover station wagon, can be described as a "deadly weapon" that directly hits the death pit of the majority of car fans.

Just more than half a million list price, doomed it is only a small part of the plaything in the hand. In this case, we tend to look for cheaper alternatives that have a "gut flavor". The Current Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan GS (picture | configuration | inquiry) (picture | configuration | inquiry), should be a good idea.

however......

Starting at 74,900, the Yixuan GS is the cheapest crossover station wagon on the market. Even if it is the top match today, the list price is only 108,900. Looking at the joint venture camp, the cheapest should be Fox Active, but the starting price of 139,800 is more than 30,000 yuan more expensive than this top match, which is basically equivalent to a level gap.

However, officials seem less willing to position it as a crossover station wagon and instead label it a compact SUV. Although Dongfeng Fengshen's current product lineup does lack an entry-level SUV, from a market perspective, the magic of SUVs for ordinary consumers may be greater. But I always felt that this was not necessary. After all, today's automotive market emphasizes a hundred flowers, more differentiated publicity strategies, not necessarily without good results.

What's more, according to the young people's online style, too mainstream SUVs are about the same as old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and the station wagon is synonymous with knowing cars and understanding life. In their minds, they must have had such a scene - throwing a pile of food and use into the station wagon, and then taking their wives and children to a picnic on the grass at the top of the mountain, the whole family was happy. Therefore, you don't have to get lost in the strange circle of SUVs, do some new tricks, meet the YY needs of young people, maybe it has really become it?

Is it a passing station wagon?

Based on all the above, I still want to analyze the overall quality of yixuan GS from the dimension of crossover station wagon. Or, from the perspective of crossover station wagon users, talk about whether it can meet their needs.

First, space. The reason why people will abandon sedans and choose this kind of van type car is for that extra storage height. The corresponding use scenario is to put the mountain bike vertically into the car and then drive to the wild to ride.

Can Yixuan GS meet this demand? For the average mountain bike, the height of the 850 mm trunk may be almost interesting, but fortunately, the depth and width are above the average line, and the pressure of plugging one or two folding bicycles is not much. I also noticed that the 193mm ground clearance is lower than many urban SUVs. The easy-to-load feature is also one of the bases for distinguishing crossover wagons from mainstream SUVs.

As for the ride space, the highlight of the Yixuan GS is the large head space. The rear height of 960 mm is no longer inferior to many mainstream SUVs, and it is also a major advantage of vans. In addition, I also noticed that the horizontal space of 1470mm in the front row and 1430mm in the rear row belongs to the upper position in the model at the same price. A check of the size found that the original Yixuan GS car was 1830mm wide, which was a little wider than the Lingdu, which was known as the "wide-body coupe".

Of course, the 800mm rear longitudinal space, whether placed in the dimension of a compact car or a compact SUV, can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches of the level. Although the 130mm floor protrusion is not high, it also affects the sense of riding to a certain extent. But if you think about it, those German-style crossover station wagons are actually like this, the rear leg space is not much, and the protrusions are much higher than this. Such a measure, is it more "inner flavor"?

In addition to space, what crossover station wagon users care about most should be the driving experience. The reason why they don't choose SUV, to put it bluntly, is that they still want a more sedan and more handy sense of control. However, it may be that the foundation of making SUVs is too deep, and the wind god's treatment in this link is not in place. At least by the standards of a car, the Yixuan GS is not agile enough to drive, and the rhythm of the front and rear of the car in the corners can be tighter. If you really want to go for a mountain road, you may lack some driving pleasure.

Of course, the demand for split bends for users of crossover station wagons should not be high. After all, outings are only a small part of the usage scenario, and urban roads are the main battlefield. From this dimension, Yixuan GS has done it properly. For example, the steering belongs to the self-cultivated type, light, insensible tone, does not give people any sense of heaviness; the pedal setting is not overly sensitive, linear, easy to control, walking will not be a channel. Yixuan GS is easy to use, easy to open the "human design", basically just established.

1.0T or 1.5T?

The powertrain provided by Yixuan GS does not seem to be the "political correctness" of the moment. Two entry-level 200T models, to put it bluntly, are "three-cylinder 1.0T + manual", and there are certainly not many people to choose; the higher-end 230T models are "1.5T + dual clutch", which is the only choice for ordinary family users who do not select automatic transmission. However, "double clutch" itself is a sensitive word, and it is still 6-block, and the technical content does not seem to be very high.

But after the experience, I think this set of power can at least give a 75 points. At least in the most critical ride, this gearbox has achieved pure fire, and there is nothing to show when walking and stopping. Even if you deliberately use a messy footwork to tease it, such as giving it a foot of oil immediately after releasing the throttle, or kicking the throttle when you are about to change gears, you will not retaliate with any intrusion and impact. Therefore, people who have a grudge against the double clutch can also choose with confidence.

Of course, there is actually a routine behind this - as long as the gear change is slow enough, the sudden setback will not catch up with me. Indeed, the gearbox is not fast, and during the process of full acceleration, you can feel the obvious power transmission gap. The measured acceleration time of 100 kilometers takes 11.86 seconds, which is the result of slowing down the transmission movement. If you give it to Volkswagen, BMW and other big factories, with this 110 kilowatts of power and 230 Nm of torque, minutes can be less than 10 seconds.

Fortunately, the gearbox's response speed is quite fast. When the middle section is accelerated, if floor oil is used to forcibly wake up the gearbox, then from stepping on the throttle to the real output of power, there will be an interval of about a second in the middle. Considering the supremacy of the Buddhist gear shift speed, this transmission interval is acceptable. In addition, the 6.8L/100km suburban road condition test fuel consumption shows that the efficiency of this power is not low.

That's all there is to say about the comfort of gear changes, and then we will briefly mention the driving quality related to the chassis, that is, filtering and sound insulation. These two links, simply listing the actual measurement data, can explain the problem very well. In terms of filtering, the average amount of water output of Yixuan GS in the speed bump test is only 23.33 ml, which is a very ideal result, but the texture is slightly scattered. As for sound insulation, the noise value at 60km/h uniform speed is 60.3 dB, and 67.7 dB at 100km/h, which is the middle level of the same price. From the perspective of noise sources, tire noise is mostly, the engine sound line is also more out of line, and the wind noise is large when driving at high speed.

Is it worth buying?

Or back to that question, can the Yixuan GS meet the needs of crossover station wagon users?

Judging from the above performances, Yixuan GS can fully meet the expectations of users for cross-border station wagons, especially space, driving and other aspects. The real short board also exists in the weak power and relatively small rear leg space. For the use scenarios in their minds, such a comprehensive quality has exceeded expectations.

Which one to buy? A cursory study, friends with a small budget can choose the 91,900 Yuemu version, the common configuration is basically the same, that is, halogen headlights, semi-fabric seats, plastic steering wheels, manual air conditioning is not so high-end. If the budget is enough, it is recommended to spend eight thousand yuan more, choose the cool version of 99,900, not only make up for the matrix LED headlights, automatic headlights, automatic air conditioning, power adjustment leather seats, panoramic images and other configurations, but also more side airbags and active brakes, which is the value of the money.
