In the era of soaring oil prices, perhaps hybrid is king, high fuel economy, high technology configuration, and low cost of comprehensive vehicles, and gradually various car companies have launched their own hybrid models. Just on April 13, another hybrid model was officially unveiled, and Dongfeng Fengshen's first hybrid SUV Haoji made its world debut.
Haoji is Dongfeng Fengshen's latest medium-sized SUV and Dongfeng Fengshen's first oil-electric hybrid SUV. It is derived from the new DSMA modular architecture, and Dongfeng Fengshen will build more cars and MPV models based on the platform in the future.
Why is this SUV called "Haoji"? Hao: It means that the world is vast and the future is bright. Pole: the pursuit of the ultimate; an excellent model, in performance, technology, appearance and other aspects are in a leading position, Haoji is the latest work of Dongfeng Fengshen, containing the endless faith of the enterprise, the pursuit of the ultimate.
First of all, it is clear that at the design level, Haoji and Dongfeng Fengshen have different styles of models on sale, and the new car is more impactful and more impressive. The overall design of Haoji draws inspiration from the "wind", ethereal fantasy, virtual and real reflection, and the clever integration of artistic conception and sense of power, showing haoji's "natural and vast beauty". The large-size inverted trapezoidal vertical grille, known as "Storm Torrent", is similar to the medium net of the same brand of popular T5 EVO, such as the assault of the beast, wild and charming.
Secondly, Haoji also has a highlight in the front face is that it adopts an upper and lower split headlight, the upper "windward banner" LED daily running light is filled with "double Z-shaped" elements inside, the overall is very recognizable, and the following is an LED headlight with dual lenses, officially known as the "Eye of the Hao Moon", and forms a penetrating light strip with the LOGO that can be lit in the middle.
The roof adopts a sloping design, and in order to distinguish between the side of the body and the roof, the body color scheme adopts a contrasting design, and the A/B pillars, mirrors and door handles are also processed into black; the sharp double waist line of the "Wind Line Rail" forms a waist-closing effect, highlighting the sense of refinement.
The new car adopts wind and waves, type moving tail, "double Z-shaped" light group echoes the front face, highly recognizable, including a turn indicator called "Neon Phantom", which can show the flow of light and shadow, making the overall shape more cool and windy.
Haoji has two sets of interior design, mainly pure black / blue and white color difference, but are integrated into the wind language design, the hugging cockpit like the embrace of the wind is generally nostalgic, and the use of the popular dual screen design, the dashboard and the central control are connected, it looks very scientific and technological; the double spoke steering wheel simulates the gamepad, making the vehicle more interesting to drive; in addition, there are 540-degree panoramic images, AR projection intelligent tailgate and other functions. I have to say that compared with other models of the same brand in the past, there has been a significant improvement in grade and fashion sense.
In terms of key power, Haoji is equipped with the latest Development of Mach Power by Dongfeng Group, providing Mach-powered 1.5T gasoline engine and 1.5T gasoline hybrid system two power combinations, of which the fuel version has a maximum power of 150 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 305 Nm; the Max Power of the Mach Dual-Engine MHD Hybrid System is 150 kW, and the system has a comprehensive torque of 540 Nm, which is matched by an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. During this year's winter test, the camouflage version of Haoji conquered the media present with its excellent snow driving performance. It is enough to see that the East Wind God's devotion to Haoji is poured.
At this conference, a virtual character was also introduced - Hao Sister, Haoji Intelligent Car Machine Butler and Dongfeng Fengshen "Wind Star" Meta-universe Community Butler, and Hao Sister, as a very intelligent car assistant, realized powerful voice interaction functions under the blessing of the WindLink car machine system, that is, questions and answers.
In 2022, when oil prices remain high, this is undoubtedly the year when hybrid models shine. It is reported that Haoji plans to open the booking in late May 2022, and will be officially listed in the third quarter, as the first hybrid SUV launched by Dongfeng Fengshen, Haoji has brought together the latest and strongest technology of Dongfeng, and will conquer consumers with absolute strength.
