The automobile market with a class of 151,111 yuan has always been a "battleground" for all brands, and such products often become the first car selected by most consumers, and also carry the "car dream" of every family. Just as the joint venture brands are inextricably linked, independent brands are quietly catching up. Today, the goal of our store exploration is to choose such an independent brand-Dongfeng Popular.
Looking at Dongfeng's popular product matrix, you will find that the starting price of most of their models is less than RMB 111,111, which covers cars, SUVs, MPVs and even new energy fields. It is no longer far away to satisfy everyone to have a car that is sheltered from the wind and rain and travels safely with the starting price that every family can afford.
when we get to the topic of exploring the store today, the first thing we see when we enter the store is a brand-new and popular T5 model. The eye-catching red color can instantly catch the eyes of consumers entering the store.
the hook LED daytime running light makes the front face of the whole car look very spirited, and at the same time, it also enhances the design sense of the whole car.
The taillights of the new T5 use the most popular penetrating design, and the hook shape also echoes the headlights. For the integrity of the tail, a black strip decorative board is embedded under the light bar, and the English names of popular cars are marked on the decorative board.
I have to admit, this brand-new red T5 at the door is really eye-catching, but in the end, I fixed my eyes on the following two cars ......
Big space makes me happy: popular T5L
Although T5L has a more fashionable design, the T5L in the rear is more popular with me because it has more space than T5 and provides 7 seats.
the front face of p>T5L has an oversized "back-shaped" air intake grille, which looks like a standing tripod. With the sharp headlights on both sides, it looks very eye-catching.
on the side, the forward-leaning waistline running through the whole car body and the black-and-white two-color patchwork wheels make the T5L look full of strength. Looking closely at the rear area, this is the difference between T5L and T5. The rear window area of T5L is larger, the proportion looks longer and the overall style is more calm.
the shape of the rear of the vehicle is full and square, and the chrome trim across the rear of the vehicle is the finishing touch of the whole rear. Squatting down to observe the vehicle chassis, you can see that the chassis is very flat. The flat design can reduce the turbulence under the chassis when driving and make the vehicle more stable when driving at high speed.
I turned around and came to the car. This is a set of interior design from Italy's Binfa team. The simple red and black two-tone interior style is matched with the central control 12-inch touch screen, which looks very fashionable and dynamic as a whole.
the car is equipped with the FutureLink 3.1 car networking system, which was jointly developed by Fengxing and Tencent. It is smooth in operation and also supports intelligent voice control, APP remote control and Bluetooth key of mobile phone. The built-in music software in the car system matches QQ music library by default.
the shift lever and the upper control button area are inclined to the driver's seat, which is convenient for the driver to operate.
in terms of space, it is popular to put down 7 seats in 3 rows in the wheelbase of T5L 2753mm, and the second row of seats supports forward and backward movement and 61/41 split down. After a little combination of the seat layout, the storage space can be changed from 241 L to 2371 L.
in terms of power, the popular T5L provides 1.5T and 1.8t. The real shot model is equipped with a 1.5T engine code-named 4J15T, which can output 156 horsepower and 231N·m torque (1751-4611rpm) at maximum, and the transmission is matched with 6AT automatic gearbox. The output power of 1.8T engine is 1.65 HP and 261N·m torque (1,511-4,111 rpm), and the transmission is matched with a 6MT manual gearbox.
I suggest to choose the 1.5T model. This engine uses the market-proven Mitsubishi MIVEC technology, and its stability is more outstanding. Although the horsepower of 1.8T is greater than that of 1.5T, the peak torque platform of 1.5T engine is wider and the power can be output more continuously.
T5L purchase suggestion:
The model equipped with 1.5T engine is preferred. The 1.8T model is matched with a manual gearbox, which is obviously cumbersome to use in cities, or the automatic gearbox is suitable for more car users. In addition, the technology of the 1.5T engine comes from Mitsubishi, and the power output will be more stable than that of the 1.8T engine developed by Dongfeng.
In the specific vehicle version selection:
If there is no need for 7 seats, then the 5-seat 1.5T luxury model can be selected. The configuration of this vehicle is the same as that of the 7-seat luxury model, and the common configurations such as cruise control, reversing image, uphill assist, panoramic sunroof and automatic parking are all equipped. While the price is 3111 yuan lower, the available space in the trunk is even larger.
if you need to choose 7-seat models, then the 1.5T flagship model is more recommended. Although the car price has increased compared with the previous models (the price difference is 7,111 yuan), the price difference is behind the configuration related to safety and convenience in daily use, such as front and rear head and side air curtains, front collision warning, lane departure reminder, and electric tailgate.
meet the needs of the whole family: the new Lingzhi M5
as an MPV model, the new Lingzhi M5 can meet the needs of both family travel and small-batch cargo transportation. At the same time, its price range is also surprising enough: 8.19-9.19 million yuan. The low price has a huge space, which is why I recommend this car.
the lingzhi M5*** has two body sizes: long axle/short axle, with the length, width and height of 4735mm/1721mm/1955mm (short axle model) and 5135mm/1721mm/1971mm (long axle model) respectively. The interior layout can be selected from 7 seats or 9 seats (2+2+3 layout).
there is no need to elaborate on the appearance of Lingzhi M5. It can be seen from the picture that it still adopts the classic shape. Compared with the old M5, the front face of the new model is replaced with a large-area air intake grille and a new style of headlight shape, which is more elegant and beautiful as a whole.
in terms of power, the new Lingzhi M5 still uses the 4A92 1.6L naturally aspirated engine from Mitsubishi, with a maximum output of 1.22 horsepower and 1.51 N m torque, and the transmission is matched with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Please don't expect too much from its power, although the curb weight of the long shaft M5 is only 1621kg. This kind of MPV model is obviously more suitable for cruising safely than trying to push the throttle.
when you get into the car, the control screen in the luxury car is 8 inches. Although the center console is made of plastic, it is not stiff to the touch, and it also adopts the imitation wood grain design.
all models are equipped with manual air conditioning in the front and rear areas as standard, and the rear air outlet of luxury models is floor type, while that of comfortable models is overhead.
Lexus M5 model recommendation:
Lexus M5 uses the same powertrain with a 1.6L self-priming engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, so the difference of models is only in the interior and configuration. In order to get a better experience, we recommend the luxury model. This model comes standard with a multi-function steering wheel and a central 8-inch large screen, and the seat fabric is also upgraded to imitation leather, which will make it more comfortable to ride. Because the luxury model is divided into two models, the short-axis model is more expensive than the long-axis model, but the configuration is exactly the same. Please choose according to your personal needs.
it should be noted that only one of the 9-seat models can be selected, and only one of the comfortable models can be selected, that is, the seats are made of fabric, and the central control position is a simple radio and CD player. Unless there is a need for the number of seats, there is no great need to choose this model.
