With the increasing attention of domestic high-end MPV models, major joint venture brands have also increased their investment in the field of market in China. As a result, the successive arrivals of Toyota Xena, Kia Jawa and Hyundai Kustu also instantly pushed the attention of Japanese and Korean MPV models to a climax. But in fact, in addition to the Japanese and Korean systems, American brands are also good at creating high-end MPVs. After all, in addition to the Buick GL8, which is still the "benchmark" of the domestic same level; there is also such a product known as the "pioneer of american luxury MPV", which was introduced by southeast automobile joint venture in 2007, and also caused a wave of rush purchases in China. I believe that already have riders guessed, yes, this American MPV product, is the Chrysler Dragon!
Nowadays, although The Great Jielong has returned to import introduction in China and gradually left the eyes of the Chinese people, as an iconic American MPV, its update process in overseas markets has never been interrupted. No, after ushering in the replacement upgrade five years ago, Dajielong completed the mid-term reform and upgrade last year. Moreover, overseas netizens have now given a set of real photos of the new Dajielong. Without further ado, let's take this opportunity to see what the charm of the new Grand Jay Dragon is.
In terms of appearance, although it is only a mid-term redesign, under the action of the blackening kit, the new Dajielong has a relatively good design upgrade. Although its grille is relatively small, the internal black nest layout and horizontal brand logo, together with the front surround with a three-stage air intake layout, can fully shape the movement attributes of its front face.
On the side of the car, the three-dimensional double waist line is clearly distinguished, which not only stretches the integrity of its side face, but also increases the strength of the creation of a sense of strength. In addition, the arrival of matte multi-spoke rims will undoubtedly continue to sublimate its sporty atmosphere.
The rear part, although its main shape is very similar to the Domestic Buick GL8, and appears relatively simple. But the through-line taillights, which incorporate the transverse logo and are flanked by an upper loop, are enough to bring design highlights.
The interior part, the instrument composed of LCD + pointer, with the embedded central control screen and the high central control layout, looks like a typical American MPV interior. Although in the current "big screen era", such an interior design is indeed not a strong sense of science and technology, but the practicality is still relatively high.
In the space part, with a length and width of 5176/2037/1777mm and a wheelbase of 3089mm, the new Dajielong has a relatively good legroom inside, whether it is a double seat in the second row or a three-seat seat in the third generation.
As for the power part, the new Jet Dragon will still be equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 287 horsepower. Matched by a 9-speed automatic transmission. In addition, depending on the model, it will also be equipped with a four-wheel drive system with electronic slip limiting function.
On the whole, as a classic American high-end MPV, the new Chrysler Grand Jet Dragon should be regarded as a highly competitive player in terms of both internal/external design and space and power performance. But unfortunately, even if the new car will still be introduced into domestic sales in the future, it will be a pure import status. The high price brought by this will undoubtedly greatly reduce its competitiveness.
