In the 100,000-class SUV market dominated by old models such as the Haval H6 and Changan CS75PLUS, it is really difficult for other models to seize the market. However, models like the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 (picture | configuration | inquiry) version of The Mach version are obviously upgraded and have certain advantages in terms of appearance and power, or it is easy to attract consumer attention. However, due to the low brand awareness, many people do not know it deeply, and whether it is worth buying is also marked with a question mark. So today, let's take a deep look at it and see what advantages and disadvantages it has.
Before interpretation, we still have an understanding of the basic information of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version, the car currently has a total of 4 models, and the guidance price is 9.59-12.99 million. And we take its relatively popular model, that is, the guide price of 119,900 Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 2022 Mach version 1.5T DCT DF41 (hereinafter referred to as Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach Edition) as an example to interpret.
First of all, let's take a look at some aspects of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach edition that attracts young consumers. For the "face control", whether the shape is good or not will definitely affect the choice. Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach edition vehicle design is not unusual, but the recognition is high enough, and it is full of personality. Some of the more interesting designs are the larger intake grille, through-the-taillights, and sporty brackets, which are not radical overall, but are calm and reliable enough to conform to most people's stereotypes of home SUVs.
It is said that the appearance is for others to see, the interior is reserved for themselves, and it can be seen that the interior design is also quite important. Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach edition has also put a lot of effort into the interior, and the wrap-around design creates a strong sense of driving atmosphere for the driver. In terms of materials, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version is also more elaborate, the upper part of the center console is a soft plastic material, the middle area is a black textured paint trim plate, and the bottom is a common plastic material, and the layers are clear enough. Details such as the door panel, the inside of the steering wheel, around the gear handle, chrome plating, paint and stitching process have appeared, which enhances the grade of the entire interior.
In terms of interior functions, the new car is equipped with a 7-inch LCD instrument, as well as a 12.3-inch central control screen, built-in WindLink6.0 car machine system and 5G car networking, with voice car control, navigation, remote car control and other functions. In actual use, the practicality of the system is not bad, but there is still some room for improvement in the fluency of the car. In addition, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 2022 Mach version 1.5T DCT DF41 is also equipped with 360-degree panoramic images, open panoramic sunroof, mobile phone wireless charging and in-car mood lights, etc., the performance is not much different from the mainstream SUV of the same level.
In terms of safety that everyone is particularly concerned about, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version has performed remarkablely. In the passive safety section, we interpret the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 2022 Mach Edition 1.5T DCT DF41 equipped with 6 airbags, seatbelt untied tips, tire pressure alarms and child seat interfaces. In terms of configuration, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version has only reached the mainstream level and there is not much worth mentioning. However, its use of high-strength steel has reached 68.6%, which is higher than that of its peers. In addition, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach edition also provides the first owner with a 10-year unlimited mileage warranty, while most of the same level of models are 3 years or 100,000 kilometers warranty, from which you can see the confidence it has, as well as the sincerity to the user.
In the active safety part, the car is equipped with ABS anti-locking, braking force distribution, brake assist, traction control, body stability control, as well as reversing side warning, DOW door opening warning, and parallel assist. In terms of active security configuration, it has also reached the mainstream performance, and some common configurations have appeared, but there is still room for improvement compared with competitors at the same level.
In terms of ride space and practicality, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 version of the compact SUV has a length, width and height of 4660x1880x1690mm, and a wheelbase of 2715mm. The size is not much different from competitors such as Haval H6 and Changan CS75PLUS. However, the Slight difference between the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version and the same level of model is that its second row of seat backrests can be adjusted by a large range, and people of different heights can find a more comfortable angle. At the same time, the second row of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version has also remained in a flat state, which also provides a relatively good riding experience for the middle occupants of the rear row.
In terms of actual riding, taking the 178cm tall experiencer as an example, when the main driving position is mounted and adjusted to the most comfortable sitting position, there are still four fingers left in the head space. After moving to the second row of rides, adjust the seat back angle to the maximum, there is still one punch left in the head space and two punches in the leg space. As far as the riding space of the whole vehicle is concerned, it is obvious that the performance of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version is not bad.
Next, let's take a look at its dynamic performance. Power is one of the important reasons why many users pay attention to the Mach version of dongfeng fengshen AX7, dongfeng fengshen AX7 2022 mach version 1.5T DCT DF41 is equipped with the engine, which is a direct injection turbo engine in Mach power 1.5T cylinder. This engine has a maximum power of 140 kW (190Ps) and a maximum torque of 300 N·m, which can be seen from the parameters of its strength. The drivetrain that matches this engine is a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission from Getrag.
Just looking at the engine parameters is quite intimidating, in the actual driving process, the explosive power of this engine and the continuous output of the mid-to-rear power are good. Among them, the initial stage is quite fast, and the engine can provide maximum torque at 2000 rpm, so the push back feeling is very strong. After the speed rises, the continuous acceleration ability of the engine is reflected, and the overtaking can give people enough confidence. Only in terms of chassis tuning, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version is still more inclined to comfort, although it sacrifices some driving pleasure, but it is just right for an SUV that focuses on home use.
Summary at the end of the article:
Overall interpretation, the comprehensive strength of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version is not bad, the relatively comprehensive safety configuration, spacious space and strong power are its advantages, but also enough to meet the needs of contemporary young people. Of course, its performance in the smart technology part is still a little worse than the mainstream SUV of the same level. However, then again, 119,900 can start such an SUV with excellent comprehensive strength, which is still very cost-effective. Therefore, in my opinion, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version is a good option.
