In recent years, Chery Automobile has also made efforts in the new energy vehicle market and launched many new energy models. However, although there are many new energy models under its umbrella, Chery's first plug-in hybrid sedan will only be launched in January 2024, and it is the Chery Fengyun A8. The Chery Fengyun A8 is positioned as a compact car and is a relatively affordable model, with a starting price of only 11990,000 yuan. It should be noted that although this model is equipped with 1 as standard across the seriesIt has a 5-liter plug-in hybrid powertrain and a combined range of 1,400 km (WLTC mode), but in my opinion, the entry-level model of this model is not worth choosing.
Maybe everyone is strange, since the entry-level model of Chery Fengyun A8 is only sold for 11990,000 yuan, and it is also equipped with 1The 5T plug-in hybrid system also has a combined range of 1400km (WLTC mode), so why do I say it's not worth choosing? Don't worry, let's analyze the performance of the Chery Fengyun A8 entry-level model little by little.
First of all, let's talk about the power system of this model, the power system of the Chery Fengyun A8 entry-level model is the same as that of other versions, which are all Chery Kunpeng C-DM power systems, which pass 1The coupling of the 5-liter engine and the electric motor provides consumers with a maximum output of 265 kW and a combined system torque of 530 Nm. However, although this model has excellent power performance and fuel economy, it can run 1400km (WLTC mode), but this model is not very easy to drive. When driving at low speeds, this model is driven by an electric motor, the power output is relatively fierce, and the feedback is not very smooth, so that ordinary family consumers only use cars in the city, and in crowded situations, it is more likely to cause friction and collision.
At the same time, all models of Chery Fengyun A8 use the front MacPherson independent suspension and the rear trailing arm torsion beam non-independent suspension, although the tuning is more comfortable, but the effect is not very good. When passing through bumpy sections, Chery Fengyun A8 will have obvious bounce, which affects the riding experience of consumers. Although this model uses a body of 4780*1843*1487mm, the wheelbase is also 2790mm, and I am 176cm tall in the back row of it, and there is a fist or two fingers in the headroom, but when passing through a bumpy section, I still hit my head.
In terms of exterior design, the Chery Fengyun A8 entry version is no different from other versions, this model adopts Chery's latest design, and the large spindle grille is embellished with chrome elements, which can give consumers some exquisite and trendy visual experience. At the same time, this model also uses three-dimensional lines to outline the deflector groove, creating a bit of a sporty atmosphere. On the side of the body, this model also shows sporty attributes through the sloping through waistline, and at the rear of the car, it also adopts "ducktail" and blackened elements to emphasize the sporty attributes, showing a young and sporty atmosphere as a whole. However, have you noticed that the exterior design of this model is almost exactly the same as that of the fuel-powered Chery Arrizo 8? What does this mean? It shows that Chery changed the Chery Arrizo 8 to a power core, which is Chery Fengyun A8, and the sincerity is really not too strong.
I don't know if you have come into contact with Chery Arrizo 8? When I went to test drive the Chery Arrizo 8, I was deeply impressed by its spatial performance and cockpit design. Especially on the inside of the door panel, the Chery Arrizo 8 uses the same power seat adjustment button as the Mercedes-Benz. Now the same is true for Chery Fengyun A8, with the same interior design, allowing consumers to feel some noble and luxurious visual experience. However, it should be noted that the entry-level version of the Chery Fengyun A8 is not equipped with the electric seat adjustment function, so it does not have the same design as Mercedes-Benz. Although it is decorated with imitation wood grain trim, its imitation wood grain trim looks quite plastic.
In addition, as a guide price of 11The 990,000 yuan model, the entry version of Chery Fengyun A8 is not only not equipped with any auxiliary driving functions (nor is the reversing image), but also provides consumers with only two airbags, and the performance in terms of configuration is really poor. I'm not saying that the richer the configuration, the better, but you should always have some equipment that is available in the same price range, right? Obviously, the configuration performance of the Chery Fengyun A8 lags behind many models in the same price range. So in my opinion, the entry-level version of Chery Fengyun A8 is not worth choosing.
