What was it like to test drive an evo? I believe that everyone's first reaction is Mitsubishi evo. Although the model that Xiaozhi drove this time did carry a Mitsubishi engine, it was actually a Dongfeng Fengxing T5 Evo. In the Dongfeng Fengxing t5 evo we can clearly feel that Dongfeng Fengxing wants to make its products take the young route, from the appearance of the design, it can indeed catch the attention of young consumers, but such a design is often radical, is a very risky approach. Then next, Xiao zhi will talk to you about the highlights of this Dongfeng Fengxing t5 evo in terms of design and power.
First of all, look at the appearance, the body of dongfeng fengxing t5 evo almost all use curve design, which can indeed create a strong sports atmosphere. However, everyone's evaluation of the design of the front face part is mixed, and those who like it will think that the car looks very expensive; those who don't like it will feel a little abrupt. From the perspective of Xiao Zhi's personal, it is still quite a design like water. The upper daytime running lights are separated from the main light source, and the concave grille extends to both sides, and the main light source is embedded in it, successfully hiding itself, which also makes the sharp daytime running lights have a high sense of existence.
It is worth saying that the Dongfeng Fengxing T5 evo adopts a new car logo, using a shield-type lion logo design, which also coincides with the overall design of its front, the black grille is like an open mouth, the main light source part is like a fang, and the daytime running lights are the eyes that stare at the prey. These designs highlight the tonality of dongfeng fengxing t5 evo, and can also win the favor of young consumers.
Coming to the side of the body, a waist line extends from the end of the daytime running lights until the rear door handles begin to rise, echoing the rear-slip roof, making the entire rear more compact. The all-black wheels further accentuate the sporty atmosphere. Coming to the tail, the through-type taillights are not strange at the moment, the black rear surround below echoes the color of the front face, and the exhaust layout of the two sides has also become an essential "prop" to highlight the sports atmosphere.
Dongfeng Fengxing t5 evo has completely jumped out of dongfeng fengxing's previous fixed design ideas in design, and also saw the determination of Dongfengfeng to walk the younger route. However, such a design, as mentioned above, can easily form polarization, and the audience range is affected.
Entering the car, compared with the exterior design, the interior design of the Dongfeng Fengxing T5 evo is still conservative, and the black and red color scheme can highlight the sports atmosphere, but it is not radical. And how to attract today's consumers? "Dual screen" is definitely a must. The dual 10.25-inch screen equipped with dongfeng Fengxing t5 evo is at the current mainstream level in terms of size. In the actual experience, the display clarity and smooth operation of these two screens are remarkable. It is worth mentioning the operation logic of the central control screen, the icons of the two pages add up to a total of 8, even after entering a single function page, there are not too many complicated lower-level pages, which is really commendable for people who are new to this system.
Take your eyes off the central control screen to see the interior design of dongfeng Fengxing t5 evo, the imitation carbon fiber trim panel with black and red contrast leather wrapping, plus red stitching, simple but has a good visual experience. At the same time, dongfeng fengxing t5 evo's handrail box hides mysteries, which has a refrigeration/heating function, ends work in the hot outdoors, and returns to the car to take a sip of cold sour plum soup, bashi!
From the front row to the rear row, although the Dongfeng Fengxing T5 Evo is positioned as a compact SUV, its 2715mm wheelbase can still bring a good spatial performance. Xiao Zhi is 178cm tall, and after the front seat is adjusted to the right position, there is still a distance of about 2 fists between the legs and the front seat, and there is also a surplus of head space. At the same time, the central platform of the rear row is not obviously raised, which also ensures comfort in the case of full rear row.
In fact, the interior design of Dongfeng Fengxing T5 Evo cannot be said to be stunning, but while ensuring practicality, it has improved the internal texture to a certain extent. The configuration part, in addition to the armrest box that supports refrigeration / heating, the addition of configurations such as wireless charging of front mobile phones, open panoramic sunroofs, and dual screens, combined with the price of Dongfeng Fengxing t5 evo of 100,000-130,000 yuan, can indeed be called cost-effective.
After a brief chat about the appearance and interior, the next step is to talk to you about the driving experience of this car, and this part is also what Xiao Zhi wants to share with you. First of all, let's talk about the advantages of this car, which is equipped with a Mitsubishi 1.5td engine, which has 197 horsepower and a maximum torque of 285 Nm, which is especially rare for a 1.5t model. The drive section is mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission from Getrag. The front and rear suspensions feature a front-McPherson/rear multi-link dual independent suspension setting. Therefore, whether it is the engine, gearbox and suspension, the driving quality of this car is guaranteed from the hardware.
In terms of actual experience, the horsepower data of 197 horses can indeed allow Xiao Zhi to get a good acceleration experience after stepping on the accelerator pedal deeply, especially in urban sections, accelerating and overtaking is very confident. At the same time, this 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission can be accepted in general, the overall shift speed is acceptable.
Wait, why do you say "in general"? Because on the day of the test drive, Xiao Zhi accidentally hit and crashed into a mountain road, but after passing through multiple consecutive curves, Xiao Zhi gave up the idea of continuing to drive fiercely. Because, after frequent acceleration and braking, it is obvious that this 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission cannot respond quickly.
Especially in sport mode, although the speed will always be maintained in a high range, there will still be a delay in downshifting. At the same time, the lighter steering feel of the Dongfeng Fengxing t5 evo is also telling Xiao Zhi that this is a family car, don't try to challenge what it is not good at. So after a few corners, its performance gradually consumes Xiao Zhi's desire to test its limits (cough, don't make excuses if your driving skills are not good).
In addition, Xiao Zhi also wants to complain about the brakes of dongfeng Fengxing T5 Evo, the foot feeling of the first half of the brakes is soft, and the sensitivity of the tail section of the brakes is high, which makes Xiao Zhi, who is the first time to contact this car, need to spend some time to adapt to the brakes. Moreover, Xiao Zhi suggested that the owner of the Dongfeng Fengxing T5 Evo should change a set of brake pads as appropriate.
After complaining, I still have to praise it. Dongfeng Fengxing T5 evo front/rear suspension adjustment is still biased to movement, which is especially evident in mountain roads, enough support for Xiao Zhi not to feel a clear sense of abandonment when cornering. At the same time, this set of suspension will still be a certain treatment for the bumps of the road surface, while maintaining the sense of the road, but also can provide enough comfort.
On the whole, although the Dongfeng Fengxing T5 Evo has good power data, in essence, it is still mainly for home use, emphasizing comfort. But for a compact SUV with an affordable price, it is indeed difficult to emphasize the pleasure of driving control too much. So, if you want to buy a practical and powerful home compact SUV, the Dongfeng Fengxing T5 EVO is really worth considering.
Dongfeng Fengxing t5 evo can be seen as the beginning of Dongfeng Feng walking a young road, which spares no effort to change the image of Dongfeng Fengxing in the minds of consumers. Ultimately, from the product point of view, the unique appearance can indeed play a role in changing the impression, but in the fiercely competitive 100,000-level household compact SUV market, the sound volume of Dongfeng Fengxing T5 Evo is still too small, and the wine aroma is also afraid of the deep alley, how to let everyone know this car, is the key to the Dongfeng Fengxing T5 Evo volume.
