Dongfeng ax7 2019 evaluation:Change the old look to the new look(一)

        Last year, there was a saying that was very popular. The good-looking skins are the same, and the interesting souls are one in a million. I don’t know how you understand this sentence, but I still have some different opinions on this passage. When you are looking for someone, girls or The young man's appearance makes you unsatisfied, will you still understand her/his heart? 

       After a turn of the conversation, let’s go back to the Dongfeng  AX7 2019. First of all, the power is still the same. PSA’s 1.6T engine + Aisin 6AT. This highly competitive power combination started from the previous model. It is equipped, but the weakness of the appearance and interior appearance is low, which has affected the sales of the old models. Just last year, the brand-new AX7 created by a Chinese designer changed its old look to a new one. 

  


      It can be said that it has undergone a transformation from the inside to the outside, and its younger look has attracted the attention of young consumers. The test car we got today is Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 2019 1.6T automatic AI pilot type. How about the AX7 test results after changing the "new clothes"? What is the difference between it and the old model? Without further ado, let's take a look at its actual performance.

  

   renewed appearance

  

   People rely on clothes, horses and saddles, take off their old-fashioned coats, and put on a glamorous sweatshirt on the brand-new AX7. The appearance of the edges and corners gave me a new understanding and good impression of it. The roundness and honesty have faded away, and it has become sharp and angular, and the three-dimensional and layered sense is all at once.

The integrated LED headlights with high and low beams of high-end models have also added a flowing turn signal to further enhance the visual effect of the front; low-end models are ordinary halogen light source headlights, and the internal shape of the lamp cavity and the light group of the high-end models Compared to some differences.

  

   The new AX7 2019 made my eyes shine. The new appearance is more vibrant than the old model, the originality is high, and the design is also very strong. The appearance details are well controlled, and the adjustment of the body size makes the proportion of the new car more coordinated.

   Smarter in-car experience

  

   You need to have something to do with everything. The exterior has changed so much, the interior must of course keep up. The interior of the new AX7 has been significantly improved compared with the old model. The central control screen has more functions, and a variety of scene modes can be set to give drivers and passengers a better experience. The interior material is still dominated by soft materials, which feels good.

  

   The full LCD instrument performs very well in terms of functions. Different driving modes also provide different interface effects. There are also very good cut scenes when switching, but the interface style is very similar to the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L, and the originality is not high.

  

  The resolution of the central control screen has reached 1920*720, the screen display is clear, and the operation is simple. The configuration of quad-core processor + 4G memory + 32G storage ensures the fluency and stability of the system.

  

   In addition to the software, the car machine also supports many kinds of scene modes. The settings in the car will be changed accordingly for different scene modes. The opening of these modes can be directly adjusted by the voice function.

  

   I talked about the advantages of the car and machine, but there are actually many places that are not easy to use. First, the button for the second level interface to return to the main interface is harder to find. Second, the multimedia function is not very smart. After Bluetooth is connected, it will not directly switch to Bluetooth music, but will continue to play FM or internal music in the system, and the button to switch media sources is also difficult to find.

  

   The main upgrades in the car are focused on the center console styling and the car machine. The interior styling is eye-catching, and the car machine system has a strong voice recognition capability. The materials used are similar to the old model. The main problem is the details. There have been some problems with the operation logic of the car and the uneven seam of the center console. These problems are hoped to be improved on the new model. The configuration is very rich, equipped with engine start and stop, automatic parking, electronic parking and AUTOHOLD and other functions, well, the situation in the car is like this, let's talk about the performance of seats and space.

  

  3 Excellent performance in space

   The space performance in the car still maintains the previous level, with excellent riding space and abundant storage space. There are front storage compartments, cup holders, center console side storage compartments and more.

  

   The front and rear seat configuration is still very high. The front main and co-pilot seats are equipped with electric adjustment and heating functions, and the rear is also very good, equipped with air conditioning outlets, 12V power supply and USB ports.

There is a lot of storage space in the car, and the front storage space is very rich. Not only there are conventional cup holders and storage compartments, but also the two sides of the center console are equipped with storage space of objective size. It is worth mentioning that the gloves The size of the box is very impressive, and 4 or 5 bottles of water are not a problem; the trunk performs well and is sufficient for daily use.

  4 mature power combination

  

  Mature dynamic combination

  

  The engine of the new generation of AX7 still uses the 1.6T engine of PSA Group, and the matching gearbox is our old friend-Aisin 6AT gearbox. This power combination is very mature and the performance is quite satisfactory. The power has not changed compared with the old model. The maximum power is 167 horsepower (123 kW)/6000rpm, and the maximum torque is 245 N·m/1400-4000rpm.
