Exterior: Everyone says the front face looks like a certain brand, and I don't deny that. But I want to say there are still differences. For example, the segmented daytime running lights are different, and the engine hood has sporty line designs. The side and rear have the same sportiness as the Jetour family and X70 series. The rear is relatively narrow and翘起. So I disagree with saying it completely copied the design of that brand just by looking at the front face. Moreover, look at the sales volume of that brand; what's wrong with drawing lessons from designs that the public likes and catering to their preferences? There's also Porsche's classic comment: "Good designs always have a telepathic connection." Besides, I think the appearance isn't the focus; the focus is on the two-speed DHT and the powertrain.
Driving experience: The key point is the power performance. This is a two-speed plug-in hybrid DHT model with a P2+P3 motor architecture. These two motors can decide who outputs power and who generates electricity according to different working conditions, or work together when you step on the accelerator deeply to prepare for rapid acceleration, theoretically capable of bursting out 199 kW of strong power. It also uses Chery's 1.5T hybrid-dedicated engine. In hybrid mode with sufficient battery power, when you step on the accelerator deeply, this 115 kW engine will output power together with the two motors.
The advantage of the two-speed DHT, I think, is that the engine can intervene in direct drive at medium and low speeds. For example, when we were in the mountainous areas of Guizhou, where we often encounter many long winding mountain roads during short trips. On such roads with many sharp bends and uphill sections, we usually drive at 40-50 km/h. The two-speed DHT can intervene in power output at around 50 km/h. The low-speed torque and fuel economy are definitely much better than single-speed! I don't really understand much either; I'm just sharing some things I thought of or personally felt. If there's anything I said wrong, I hope everyone can correct me.
In terms of driving feel, after all, this is a mid-size SUV with a starting price of 120,000 yuan. After driving it for half a month, the feeling is that the steering is precise, and the chassis tuning is sport-oriented. By sport-oriented, I mean it's slightly stiffer. But when passing speed bumps, there's no excessive shaking, the rebound is well controlled, and the body roll suppression is also satisfactory. It can hold steady. However, when driving on unpaved roads with many gravels, the road feel is a bit obvious and not filtered very well.
Space: When it comes to space, first we need to clarify that this is just a mid-size but somewhat compact SUV under 4.8 meters. I bought the 7-seat top configuration version, and the space performance can only be said to be sufficient (usually used as a 5-seater, 7-seater for emergencies), which meets my usage needs (two children under three years old and four adults).
The front seats have ventilation, heating, and electric adjustment. The seat thickness and support are good. The second-row space is also sufficiently spacious, and the overall riding experience of the second-row seats is good. I am 175 cm tall, and when the main driver's seat is adjusted to my comfortable position, there is still a little more than two fists of distance between the second row and the front row, so the space is okay. Compared with a certain Yun T9, the seat cushion is thicker and longer. There are also disadvantages. The middle position of the second row has severely compressed the legroom of the rear middle passenger due to the refrigerator赠送 by the manufacturer. Passengers sitting in the middle can only sit with their feet spread apart. In addition, the backrest of the middle position has a hidden armrest design, and the backrest is relatively hard, which can be improved by adding a headrest.
Then let's take a systematic look at the space performance of the front, middle and rear rows. With the main driver's seat unchanged, and slightly sacrificing the second row to adjust it to a space of 2-3 fingers from the knees, I can sit in the last row. It definitely won't be very comfortable, but if only one person sits in the third row, leaning sideways can make it more comfortable. Moreover, the trunk has a 220V power socket, which means you can fast charge your mobile phone or computer in the back row. In that case, I think a little smaller space doesn't matter.
