This New Year's holiday has just ended, and I also took advantage of this holiday to go back to my hometown, although it is rare to be free, but I also have to look for materials for work. So I went to my hometown. The underground garage of the most prosperous shopping mall, go to see what kind of cars people drive in their hometowns?In addition to the common Japanese cars, German cars and Korean cars, as well as Tesla, which has been very popular in recent years. I suddenly found a medium-sized SUV in my hometown, which is not big or small, and this car is the Formula Leopard 5!To know when this car was on the market, it was in November last year. I didn't see it in the first-tier cities, but I didn't expect to see it in my hometown. This solves my immediate urgency, so let's talk about this equation Leopard 5!
In fact, in the eyes of many of us, especially those of us who left our hometowns and came to the big cities to work hard, our hometown seems to be a place that is behind the times. I always feel that this place is not as good as the big city, people's thinking will be relatively backward compared to the big city, and the heart to accept new things is relatively small, especially for this new car brand, even if countless people on the Internet are giving a thumbs up to this car, I still have to be skeptical of this car. So to see a car like this in this kind of city is undoubtedly exciting for me. Of course, this is also my personal narrow thinking, the idea of looking at people with colored eyes.
But then again, this car, since this car has not been officially launched, I have been paying attention, I used to guess the price of this car, at that time I thought that the top version of this car was about 250,000, and the highest may be 300,000. But after the launch of the actual car, we know that the starting price of the bottom version of this car is already 28It started at 980,000 yuan. Compared with the common plug-in hybrid mid-size SUVs on the market now, ** is relatively high. In the same price range, we can choose between Wenjie, Lynk & Co 08, and even Tesla Model Y. What kind of advantages does this car have that can make me spend 300,000 ** to buy it?Judging from the shape of the vehicle, in the current automobile market, this boxy and hard-core off-road shape is undoubtedly the most popular. Turn on your phone and search for self-driving travel, and the cars driven by those travel bloggers are basically like this. This is true of both the Tank 300 and the Beijing Motor, which have sold very well in recent years. Driving such a car, driving on the road is undoubtedly a high return rate for yourself. At the same time, we also know that this kind of big guy is very fuel-guzzling, so buying such a mid-size SUV with plug-in hybrid power mode can also solve our fuel economy problem to a certain extent.
In terms of the shape of the front and rear of the car, I can't fault it. There are a total of seven body colors for our consumers to choose from, and these seven colors are all more grayish tones, which feels very in line with the most popular Maillard color system at the moment. And then the wheel eyebrows, luggage rack, pedals and spare tire on the back of this car are also showing their off-road charm. So I think this car is a good car that every off-road enthusiast can't refuse.
Let's talk about the interior of this car. Since this car has been associated with new energy, the style of the interior will definitely be based on technology. Indeed, the first thing that catches your eye is the screen configuration of this car, except for the low-end version of the model, there is no entertainment screen equipped with the co-pilot, only a resolution of up to 25k of 156-inch screen. The central control version and the top version are both based on this, with an additional 123-inch additional visual music screen. In addition, such as voice recognition control function, facial recognition function, and app store and other functions, are all standard configurations of the whole system, and there is nothing to talk about in detail, they are all very common configurations.
Coming to the position of the main driver, the material of the steering wheel is standard for the whole system, leather, and the size of the full LCD instrument panel is also the same as the co-pilot entertainment screen, which is 123 inches. The mid-spec version and the top-of-the-line version will additionally support head-up and digital display functions. If you say that such features are too common, you don't need to take them out separately, but what if I say that the head-up size of the HUD of this car is 50 inches? It's almost the same as the front windshield of a car.
In fact, in terms of exterior styling and interior configuration, this is secondary. As long as it can be related to off-roading, it's fine. If you really want to represent the hard-core off-road, it must be the off-road four-wheel drive and other functions of the vehicle. First of all, the ** differential lock function of this car is standard in all models. The lower-spec variant comes with a rear axle differential lock, while the remaining two variants will add a front-axle differential lock. Other common off-road features are also fully equipped. The only place that needs to be purchased is the tow hook of the vehicle, which costs 4,000 yuan to buy. I think this is optional or not, after all, there are also certain requirements for vehicle tow hits. If you go off-road a lot, I think you can still match it.
As we mentioned earlier, the type of energy used in this car is plug-in hybrid, and the unified WLTC pure electric range of these three models is 100 kilometers, which may not sound high, but I think this configuration is enough to cope with the needs of cars between our cities. The car's fuel consumption at its lowest charge is only 78 liters, which is indeed enough fuel efficient.
Judging from the above configurations, although the ** of this car still makes many people think that it will be higher, it is also more worthwhile. After all, many people want to buy a hard-core off-road, but they will be deterred by extremely high fuel consumption, so in the end, gritting their teeth and buying such a car, you can also fulfill a long-standing dream.
