New energy vehicles have been developed rapidly, but there are still many conservatives who will choose traditional fuel vehicles as daily family cars. Today's domestic auto market seems to be caught in a strange circle, with more and more cars focusing on comfort, performance cars are gradually decreasing, and the BMW series is also developing in the direction of comfort
I think the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is a good choice, and the ** guide range of this car is 1080,000 yuan to 1580,000 yuan, the price is relatively close to the people, in line with the purchase expectations of most young people. The current GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard has eight versions of configurations, including traditional fuel vehicles and hybrid models, and today we will use the 2023 400T automatic R Max version of the series of Shadow Leopard (priced at 15.).80,000 yuan) as an example to see how it performs.
Since it is a sport-oriented model, let's start from the power aspect, the Shadow Leopard R Max is equipped with 20T engine, maximum output of 195kW, peak torque of 400N·m, matched with 8-speed manual automatic transmission, the same configuration in the joint venture car price is far more than 150,000 level, from which we can see that the pricing of GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is still relatively close to the people, 5It achieves 000 acceleration in 7 seconds, and the parameter performance is even better than that of the pure electric version of the model at the same price.
The Shadow Leopard R Max offers four driving modes: Sport, Comfort, Standard and Personal, and we used the Comfort mode for the city test drive, after all, in congested roads, even if the Sport mode is turned on, it will not play to its advantages. 2.The 0T engine has a strong power of 265 horsepower, the starting speed is very fast, there is a slight push back feeling, and the torque of 400N·m can be easily coped with in the climbing section, although the steering feel of the steering wheel is heavier than that of ordinary cars, but a little turning the steering wheel can make a more positive response, which can also be seen that its tuning is sporty, after all, when driving in the middle and high-speed stages, the steering wheel can improve the driver's driving confidence.
Driving on the high-speed section, the Shadow Leopard R MAX sports driving mode must be tried, pull the gear lever back first, immediately enter the sport mode, and start without losing the tram at the same price, bringing a more rapid driving texture, for this compact car, it is already excess power. The foot feel of the accelerator and brake pedal is very good, the softness and hardness are moderate, the power follow-up performance is positive, as long as you are willing to step on the accelerator, the explosive force is very strong when overtaking, and with the cooperation of uphill assist, there is not much hesitation to climb the hill with full load, and the brake braking is also very fast. Overall, I think the driving experience and handling feel of this car are better than any other car in the same price range.
The Shadow Leopard R MAX adopts a front MacPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension combination in terms of chassis, and the chassis tuning is also sporty, with solid performance and strong support performance when cornering, but the comfort brought to the rear passengers is slightly worse, after all, this is a sports car, so this can be understood.
In terms of other features, the Shadow Leopard R Max comes standard with lane departure warning, active braking and fatigue driving reminders, which are very friendly to users with frequent long-distance driving. Functions such as 360° panoramic view, full-speed adaptive cruise control, and L2 driver assistance are also given, so that even if you drive into an unfamiliar environment, you can see the surrounding environment of the vehicle well and relieve tension.
In terms of body size, the car provides 4753 1850 1432mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2736mm, which is not bad in a compact car, and the user with a height of 170cm sits in the back, and the legroom is about 2 fists away, as long as the passengers of normal body type, there is no sense of crampedness in the car.
Summary: Shadow Leopard has been on the market for a long time, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of its sporty appearance, CTCC racing front face, bilateral total four exhaust outlets, tail diffuser and so on can see its flamboyant personality everywhere, although many people say that the audience of Shadow Leopard is young users in their early 20s, but I think as long as you like it, it's over. The first four-piston calipers are also applied to the car, and this design can only be seen in performance cars of hundreds of thousands of yuan in the past. If you are also a sports-conscious user but have a limited budget, you might as well go to a physical store to test drive the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard R.
