  after all, is an SUV model with a strong family atmosphere. The Dongfeng ax7 2019 gearbox will make an upshift before 2000rpm, and the gearbox is more willing to increase the gear to maintain the speed. The speed during city cruising will be maintained at around 1500rpm, and the smoothness of the gearbox will be satisfactory. The accelerator response is average, and you can’t do it whenever you step on it. In daily driving, lightly stepping on the accelerator can only maintain the vehicle speed. Deeply stepping on the accelerator pedal 1/2 will bring better acceleration performance.

  The experience of daily driving is no different from that of the old model. The gearbox reacts slowly when you suddenly step on the accelerator and make a sudden acceleration. After a little hesitation, you can downshift. The acceleration process is relatively flat. The upshift will be made immediately after the overtaking action is over. The action to reduce the speed is completely the calibration of a family car.
