In the domestic auto market in 2023, new energy vehicles are extremely hot, and at the same time, it has also driven consumers' enthusiasm for domestic cars. This article takes the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard R Max as an example.
The GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard R MAX is the top-of-the-line model of the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, with an official guide price of 1580,000 yuan, a few days ago, GAC Trumpchi officially announced that the Shadow Leopard launched a cash discount, by going to the local 4S store to understand, the car is currently cash discount 160,000 yuan, and the final landing ** is less than 150,000 yuan. Seeing this, you may think why a gasoline version of a compact car can be sold so expensive?
In terms of power alone, the Shadow Leopard R Max is equipped with 20T engine, the maximum output of 195kw, the book parameters are still very considerable, matched with the 8-speed manual automatic gearbox, the smoothness of shifting is also greatly guaranteed, and the 000 acceleration time is squeezed into 5 seconds, reaching 57 seconds, do you still think this car is expensive when you see this?
In terms of chassis, the Shadow Leopard R MAX materials are also very solid, the front MacPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension combination structure is relatively rare in the same price range, although this is a main sports car, but the chassis tuning takes into account the attributes of a family car, the suspension system has toughness, and the shock transmitted to the car is not very strong when passing through rough roads or continuous speed bumps.
After looking at the basic configuration, let's take a closer look at how the test drive of the Shadow Leopard R Max feels. The 265 hp power output is a surplus of power for this compact car, and with a maximum torque of 400 Nm and hill assist, it can easily cope with full load climbing. The initial acceleration is very fast, the push back feeling is full, the steering wheel is relatively light, the steering is smaller than the design of the normal model, slightly steering, the steering wheel can make a positive response, it is not difficult to see that this is a sporty model, but after the speed comes up, the steering wheel feels calm, which can greatly enhance driving confidence.
In terms of other configurations, L2 level assisted driving, full-speed adaptive cruise and fatigue driving tips and other functions are applied in the car, which is very friendly to people who have frequent long-distance driving needs, and the 360° panoramic image is not absent, which is convenient for the driver to understand the environment around the body, and can drive the vehicle with peace of mind even in unfamiliar places.
The front row of the car supports keyless entry, open the door and sit in it, 1025-inch dual-screen + race track instrument effectively enhance the sense of interior technology, standard Yamaha audio system and 32-color atmosphere lights, creating a good riding environment, in terms of function, the central control screen is equipped with GPS navigation, 4G network and intelligent voice interaction, etc., basically meet the current consumer use, it is worth mentioning that the facial recognition function is not absent, through the identity of the certified driver, seat adjustment and multi-** system access, etc., privacy and convenience are better.
In terms of space, the length, width and height of the Shadow Leopard R Max is 4753 1850 1432mm, and the wheelbase is 2736mm, which is a standard compact car, and the front head and legs can move freely, but passengers with a height of more than 178cm sit in the back row, and the head space is slightly insufficient. The front row of the car supports electric adjustment, which is very advanced to use, and the main driver's seat also supports local adjustment of the waist, which is very compatible with people of different sizes, and has strong wrapping and stability. The leather suede seats have a high sense of class, and the heating function and memory (main driver) in the front allow users to have a comfortable driving experience even in the cold winter.
Summary: Shadow Leopard R Max in addition to excellent power performance, the sporty appearance package also further strengthens its sports attributes, as a compact car, its space performance is decent, but it can also meet the daily household use, although the interior configuration is a little bit different from the current mainstream new energy vehicles in terms of size, fortunately, the internal functions are rich, if you can work the screen size in the later stage, the competitiveness of the product will be further improved. I think if you are a user with a limited budget, but are looking for driving performance, then the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard R MAX is a good choice.
