The T5 EVO model has been selling steadily since its launch in 2021, and it has also ushered in a remodeled model after more than a year. Dongfeng Fengxing officially announced that the Fengxing T5 EVO heatwave version model will be put on sale today. Fengxing T5 EVO heatwave version belongs to the mid-term redesign model, the overall design compared to the old model difference will not be too big, will use a new heat wave yellow paint, and the details of the part has been adjusted, the model configuration from the previous five to three, a total of platinum version, diamond version and Star Yao version of the three configuration models, the price range of 108,900 yuan - 130,900 yuan.
Fengxing T5 EVO heatwave version is based on the transformation of the old model, the familiar blackened large size mesh and fangs-like split headlights can still be seen on the new model, the difference is that the heat wave version of the front and bottom brackets replaced by a more sporty front shovel, the paint is also replaced by a more colorful and sporty heat wave yellow color.
The previous blackened wheels were updated with glossy polished white wheels. It will be more harmonious with the gorgeous heat wave yellow car paint. A touch of red in the hub also represents that the brake calipers have also changed to a new skin of red, which is more combatant.
The exhaust and taillights in the rear part of the car are not much different from the old models, and the rear and lower surrounds have also been updated, replaced by diffusers embellished with yellow lines. The original popular T5 EVO's appearance is biased towards sports, and the upgraded heatwave version will have a more intense sports atmosphere, and the back-lining body line has a bit of a cross-border coupe appearance.
In terms of body size, the size of the Fengxing T5 EVO heatwave version model has been slightly changed compared to the old model, the body trim is 4650/1862/1690mm, the wheelbase is 2715mm, compared with the old model 4565/1860/1690mm the size of the three dimensions, 85mm longer and 2mm wider. In terms of spatial performance, it should also be slightly better than the old model.
The sports atmosphere of the heatwave version of the model is also reflected in the interior, the classic red and black sports style interior will also appear on the heat wave model, although the red and black color of the interior is also equipped on the old model, but it will be more harmonious in the heat wave version of the model.
The configuration design of circular air conditioner air outlet, suspension instrument central control dual screen and Future Link4.0 smart connection system has also been applied to the heatwave version of the model, and the sense of technology and function in the car are the mainstream level of the moment.
In terms of configuration, the original configuration of the T5 EVO, which is a self-owned brand model, is very excellent, and the standard configuration of the whole series is fixed speed cruise, four-wheel unsustrained, automatic parking, uphill assist, steep slope slow descent, automatic headlights and keyless entry. The top-of-the-line model also features automatic parking, L2+ driver assistance, sensor rear tailgate, 64-color mood lights, power leather seats, and more.
The power of the new model has not changed at all, the heatwave version is equipped with the same powertrain as the old model, based on the super cubic EMA architecture, equipped with a 1.5T straight four engine matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the maximum power is 145Kw, the maximum horsepower is 197 horses, the peak torque is 285N·m, the official zero hundred acceleration performance is 9.5 seconds, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 6.6L.
It seems that Mitsubishi's 4A95TD direct injection engine plus the transmission efficiency of the double clutch power data is indeed not bad, close to two hundred horses of 1.5T is already the leading level of the same class, fuel economy performance is also in the upper middle and upper reaches of the same class.
I have to say that the product strength of the popular T5 EVO is quite strong, which can be seen from its own mechanical quality and model configuration, compared with the competitors such as trumpchi GS4, Boyue and Changan CS55 PLUS at the same price, the performance in all aspects is completely false. At a price of more than 100,000 or so, if you want to buy an SUV with such an excellent cost performance, you can probably only choose from your own brand.
The Fengxing T5 EVO basically maintains the monthly sales of more than 5,000 units, and is also a major model for Dongfeng Fengxing. After the more sporty T5 EVO heatwave version is listed, it is expected to increase sales a lot. Excellent appearance and three major pieces plus novel configuration is the best embodiment of the popular T5 EVO product force, the pursuit of sports SUVs friends remember not to miss.
