Last year, when I test-drove the Dongfeng Fengshen Yixuan MAX in Yunnan, I was impressed by its rich configuration and Mach power technology, and I also gave a high evaluation at that time. The car that I want to talk about today not only has the advantages of Yixuan MAX, but also performs well in other aspects, which is the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version.
Adopt a new design, which will please young people
Positioned as a compact SUV, the Aushin AX7 version was officially launched in September last year, with a total of four models launched, and the official price range is 9.59-12.99 million yuan.
Fengshen AX7 Mach edition is also the main young consumer group, through the real picture can be seen, The Fengshen AX7 Mach edition compared to the old Aegis AX7 PRO, the front face is equipped with a new large-size hexagonal digital grille, with the internal chrome decoration, very visual impact.
In terms of details, the Mach version of the Aegis AX7 also uses some red decorative strips to make the appearance look more sporty. The visual effect of the headlights is also good, in addition to the lowest configuration, the rest of the models are also equipped with a full LED light source, and the two models with high equipment are also equipped with automatic headlights, which is relatively rare in the same level, which can increase the convenience of many daily cars.
The side of the Aegis AX7 Mach edition continues the design of the AX7 PRO model, with the addition of red decorative strips and 19-inch Tomahawk two-tone wheels, creating a very good sporty atmosphere. In terms of body size, the Mach version of the Aegis AX7 version has a length, width and height of 4660/1880/1690 (1680) mm and a wheelbase of 2715 mm, which belongs to the mainstream level of the same level.
The through-type taillights are a highlight of the Mach version of the Aegis AX7, and the interior shape of the taillights on both sides is very unique, and it is very recognizable when lit. However, the Mach version of the Avient AX7 uses hidden exhaust, which is slightly low-key for a model that is mainly young. But all in all, the Mach version of the AEG7 is still very pleasing to young consumers.
The configuration is excellent, and the same level has an advantage
The central control area of the Mach version of the Aushin AX7 is based on dark colors, creating a strong sense of movement, but at the same time there is a design style of new car-making forces. There are few physical buttons in the center control area and the overall tilt towards the driver's seat side. The workmanship materials are very exquisite, not only the application of a large area of soft materials, the co-pilot front area is also equipped with a "brilliant astrolabe" design, built-in atmosphere lights, after lighting up the visual effect is good.
Configuration is a highlight of the Mach version of the Fengshen AX7, such as the 12.3-inch central control screen that young consumers love as standard for the whole series, built-in WindLink 6.0 car machine system, the UI interface is simple and intuitive, it is relatively easy to get started, in addition to supporting third-party applications such as Cool Me Music and Himalaya, it also comes with CarLife and Huawei HiCar functions.
It is worth mentioning that the system also supports multi-scene mode, passengers in the car can directly press on the central control screen, the vehicle will adjust the air conditioning and sunroof according to the preset to meet the selected scene state, no need to operate step by step, very intelligent and convenient.
The DF51 version of the real-time car is also equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, the light of the full LCD instrument is very soft, and the display effect is also quite beautiful, from which you can intuitively view the vehicle status information.
In terms of other equipment, the DF51 version is also equipped with wireless charging of front mobile phones, ventilation/massage in the main driver's seat, Jamo Zunbao audio and rear electric trunk, which has a great advantage in the same level. Among them, the author likes the electric trunk function, but also built-in induction and memory function, even petite ladies can easily switch the trunk, it is very convenient to use.
The seating space is decent, and the storage space performs excellently
The Mach version of the Aegean AX7 has a wheelbase of 2715mm, which belongs to the mainstream level of the same level. The rear seating space is not abundant, but it is enough for daily use, and the middle platform is almost flat, and the middle passengers will be much more comfortable to put their feet.
The Mach version of the Aegis AX7 has a lot of storage space, and the front row can find a suitable place for items such as mobile phones and wallets. The space in the trunk is also very flat and abundant, and the second row of seats supports proportional reclining, which can form an almost flat space after being reclined, which is very practical.
The whole series is equipped with Mach power, and the chassis filtration performance is average
In terms of power, the Fengshen AX7 Mach version is equipped with Dongfeng Mach Power 1.5T engine, which is a new generation of turbocharged direct injection engine developed by Dongfeng based on platform-based and modular concepts, with a maximum power of 140kW (190 hp) and a maximum torque of 300N·m, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
In terms of actual experience, although the Mach version of the Fengshen AX7 focuses on young consumers, its throttle pedal is relatively light, the power response is relatively moderate, and the overall acceleration feeling is similar to the japanese car style. Transmission shift speed and rhythm is not as fast and powerful as the mainstream dual-clutch DCT, but it is not the feeling of dragging mud with water, the action logic is similar to the AT automatic transmission, there will be no obvious setbacks at low speed, but some shift speed is sacrificed to ensure smoothness, which is more suitable for daily transportation adjustment.
The chassis adopts the suspension structure of the front McPherson + rear double cross-arm, which is more relaxed when dealing with the fine bumpy road surface, but the support of the end section is lacking, and the rapid passage through larger potholes or speed bumps will produce a more obvious sense of impact, affecting the riding comfort in the car.
The Aegean AX7 Mach version of the NVH is well done, both in terms of tire noise and engine sound. The steering feel is also light and heavy, it is easy to get started, and it is easy to adapt to whatever family member is driving for the first time.
summary:
As the author said at the beginning, the performance of the Mach version of the Austron AX7 is very balanced in all aspects, and the new appearance is very pleasing to young consumers; the rich configuration occupies a certain advantage in the same level; the space inside the car is enough to meet the daily travel use; and the dynamic performance is also in line with the adjustment of the family car. Coupled with the starting price of less than 100,000, although there are still some deficiencies, the Mach version of the AEG7 is still a very recommended model. If your budget is around 100,000 yuan, consider a home SUV that is very balanced in all aspects, and the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version deserves your attention.
