Editor's introduction: At present, the medium and large range extender SUV market is hot, most of them are mainly family models, and the price of the ideal L8 is too high, so in the 200,000 range, Leap C16 and Dongfeng eπ08 form a competitive relationship, who is more cost-effective to choose the two cars?
In today's automobile market, consumers are faced with many choices, especially in the field of new energy vehicles, new models emerge in an endless stream and the replacement is faster than traditional fuel vehicles, and in the new energy market, pure electric vehicle consumers have concerns about battery life, so plug-in hybrid and extended range hybrid models have become the first choice for consumers to buy cars.
In the field of extended-range SUVs, the ideal car is developed relatively early and has also obtained good sales, but its price is too high, the model is basically about 300,000, so for ordinary consumers, like to choose an extended-range SUV, and suitable for the whole family to travel, in fact, there are not many choices on the market, among which Leap C16 and Dongfeng eπ08 are good choices, the cars are within 200,000, the same is a medium and large SUV, and both provide extended-range power.
Price is one of the important factors that consumers consider when buying a car. The starting price of Leap C16 is 155,800 yuan, which may be more affordable than Yipai 008, or the entry threshold is lower. The price of Yipai 008 is 216,600 yuan, but the discount in the terminal market is greater than that of Leap C16, and the price after the discount is more than 180,000 yuan.
Since there are only two models of Yipai 008, which are divided into pure electric and extended range, the price is 216,600 yuan, so we chose the range extender 200 intelligent driving version with a price of 179,800 yuan, and the terminal price difference between the two cars is less than 10,000 yuan.
In terms of appearance, the design of Leap C16 and Leap C10 is not much different, the front face of the grille adopts a closed design, with a headlight group that runs through the front face, this latest family design has a good recognition. The boxy silhouette of the side matches the sturdy and heavy visual appearance of a mid-to-large SUV, and is equipped with a hollow luggage rack, concealed door handles, and large wheels.
The exterior design of Dongfeng Yipai 008 pays more attention to the sense of science and technology and atmosphere, the lines are smooth, the body proportions are coordinated, the size is larger, the front face adopts a unique closed grille design, with the through-type headlight group, the overall line is full, creating a good sense of the future. The rear of the car also adopts a continuous light cluster design similar to the front face, echoing the front and rear.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Leapmotor C16 are 4915/1905/1770mm, and the wheelbase is 2825mm, positioning it as a medium and large SUV. The length, width and height of the Dongfeng Yipai 008 are 5002/1972/1732mm, and the wheelbase is 3025mm, and it is also positioned as a medium and large SUV. From the point of view of size, the size and wheelbase of Dongfeng Yipai 008 are close to the ideal L8, which is larger than that of Leap C16, and the wheelbase has obvious advantages, which makes the riding space in the car much larger than that of Leap C16.
The interior part, Leap C16, like most new energy models, adopts a minimalist design, consisting of a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument and a 14.6-inch central control screen, with almost no physical buttons outside the central suspension large screen, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, providing a smooth interactive experience. In terms of seats, a 2+2+2 6-seat layout is adopted to meet the travel needs of a family of six, but limited by the wheelbase, the seating space in the third row is a little cramped.
Dongfeng Yipai008The interior is simple and generous, the car is wrapped in a lot of leather, and the design of the central control part is also minimalist, which adopts an 8.8-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 15.6-inch floating central control screen layout, but the chip is equipped with an 8155 chip, and the computing power is not as good as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, but it is completely enough for the current smart models. The seats of the Yipai 008 also adopt a 6-seat layout, but its wheelbase is larger, and the seating space in the third row is more spacious than that of the Leap C16.
Both models are available in both range-extender hybrid and all-electric forms. The Leapmotor C16 extended range version is equipped with a 95 horsepower 1.5L extended range engine, a maximum motor power of 170 kilowatts, a CLTC pure electric range of 200 kilometers, and a CLTC comprehensive range of 1095 kilometers.
