A+ class first-class SUV test drive Kay Chen Xing's strength performance is surprising.

Weather: sunny

Model: 260T automatic 48V light mixed supercharged Yao Xing version.

In recent years, consumers have higher and higher requirements for cars, and SUV has become the first car model for ordinary families. In order to meet the needs of consumers, independent automobile brands have launched 65,438+0-200,000 yuan of medium and high-grade cars. In fact, many of these independent automobile brands have the technical endorsement of joint venture automobile companies, so their products are also very strong. When it comes to the independent brand endorsed by this joint venture automobile company, we have to mention the brand Dongfeng Qichen. As we all know, Dongfeng Qichen has Nissan's technical endorsement.

Dongfeng Qichen is one of the earliest joint venture brands in China. After eight years of development, Dongfeng Qichen officially operated independently on 20 18. Faced with the upgrading of China's automobile consumption market, people's expectations for automobiles are not only simple means of transportation, but also the pursuit of automobiles has shifted from high quality to high intelligence. Smarter, high-tech car networking vehicles are the general direction.

Independent Dongfeng Qichen has clearly seen this. The quality of Qichen, the affinity of Qichen, and the charm of Qichen, Dongfeng Qichen's intelligence and car networking are also constantly breaking through and completing the evolution from high quality to high intelligence.

To tell the truth, in fact, the biggest impression consumers have on Dongfeng Qichen's products is that the models are economical and fuel-efficient. However, if you really want to choose a product that can represent the brand of Dongfeng Qichen, then Qichen Star listed on April 23 is the most representative.

Obviously, spicy and delicious, as the luxury flagship model promoted by Dongfeng Qichen this year, Qichen Star has been listed for nearly five months, and it has been recognized by many consumers after listing. Not only the price, but also the design, luxurious interior and rich configuration can better reflect the charm of this car.

Recently, Kay Chen Xing held a national media test drive meeting based on the new VSA technology architecture platform in Chengdu. It is a compact SUV model independently developed and newly designed. The biggest advantage is that it has an A+ class cockpit and is equipped with advanced driving assistance, car networking and intelligent multimedia functions. With such a rich SUV, what are the places worthy of "knocking on the blackboard" in actual driving? Through this test drive, Kay Chen Xing's comprehensive strength is amazing.

Highlights of vehicle models

Equipped with 15.6 inch intelligent central control large screen.

13 active safety assistance function

Zhilian 4.0 system is equipped with AR real-life intelligent navigation.

W-HUD intelligent navigation head-up display system

V domineering: the design of sinking fish and falling geese has a sense of technology, and the luxurious cockpit is the opening of quality life.

As a home SUV, good comfort is a must, but Qicheng Star has also done a very good job in luxury and high sense, and the position of the leather package of the whole car covers a wide range. In this regard, the performance of the whole car seat is the best, the seat is thick and wrapped, and it is very comfortable to sit on. The co-pilot seat is equipped with massage function, which is my greatest enjoyment in this test drive. In addition to the comfort of the seat, the biggest feature of this seat is that it can be leveled. Also equipped with 6-link leg rest, 4-way waist support, one-button massage and other functions. For drivers who change hands in long-distance driving, it is a comfortable mobile "big bed".

In appearance, Kay Chen Xing adopts the design concept of "mixed aesthetics", and the slender matrix headlights are perfectly integrated with the air intake grille inlaid with 66 three-dimensional electroplated star diamonds to create a front face with great recognition and atmosphere. As a whole, the through taillights, brand-new logo and V-Galaxy star grille are integrated to create the personality of the younger generation. The hybrid model also has the M-HEV logo, which better reflects the identity of this car.

On the side of the car body, the shoulder surface of the car is designed by luxury SUV, and the 19 inch two-color wheel hub is slightly "sporty", but this two-color combination of black and metallic bright surface is very high-grade. In addition to the penetrating taillight shape at the rear of the car, the most attractive thing is V-Motif? High brake light, the effect is more eye-catching when the brake is on.

When you open the car door, you may be surprised by the luxurious interior of Kay Chen Xing. The whole interior is decorated with diamond-shaped leather blocks, which makes people sigh that their own brands can also make such a sense of luxury. Kay Chen Xing interior adopts 360-degree intelligent surrounding cockpit design, and a chrome trim runs through the central control, creating a rich layering. In addition, it is equipped with a three-spoke multifunctional steering wheel, 15.6-inch intelligent central control large screen, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and zero-gravity seat.

Needless to say, Qicheng Star has become the largest car in its class with its long body and wide size.

The body size is 4691mm/1.905 mm/1.694 mm, and the wheelbase is 2756 mm. ..

Large screen design and touch screen control are the most scientific aspects of a car, but Kay Chen Xing still keeps a row of function control buttons under the central control screen, such as double flashing lights, fog removal and other unexpected functions. I think it will be more convenient to use physical buttons.

Then, the gear handle of the gearbox is also very designed, round and small, and feels good. Next to the gear handle is the wireless charging area of the mobile phone, and it is very intimate that even if your mobile phone can't connect itself to charge, there is a small USB interface at the back.

Road experience: 1.5t+48V optical mixing system is comfortable to drive and more suitable for daily travel in cities.

Our test drive distance from Intercontinental Hotel Sanchahu in Chengdu to Jiezi Ancient Town is about 1 10 km, passing through country roads, town roads and expressways. Under complex road conditions, Qicheng has strong passability and smooth driving. It is an SUV with equal emphasis on atmosphere and luxury.

Facing the fierce competition in the compact SUV market, Kay Chen Xing is a car that pays attention to comfort. In the actual test drive, the fuel supply is relatively gentle at the beginning, and the power output of Kay Chen Xing is a bit gentle. This kind of training may be to ensure the comfort of the vehicle when starting.

For consumers who have comfortable driving requirements, this is a biased comfort training to fully meet the daily travel needs. It is particularly worth emphasizing that when driving on the road, through some speed bumps or mud pits, the suspension of Morning Star will filter out the vibration and reduce the noise of vehicles. However, there will still be a little noise, which may come from the chassis, but it is not a disturbing sound. On the whole, Kay Chen Xing is good at mute effect control.

Different from the same class, Qicheng Star has original NVH mute technology and active noise reduction system. This function will greatly reduce the acceleration noise of the engine when the vehicle is running, and greatly improve the ride comfort of the people in the vehicle. It can be said that it is quite powerful to have this configuration at this price within 6.5438+0.5 million yuan.

During the whole day's test drive, Kay Chen Xing gave me the impression that driving is very flexible and light, and it is easy for men, women and children to drive. According to official data, Kai Chenxing's 1.5T engine has a maximum power 190 horsepower and a maximum torque of 260N.m It responds positively to the upshift and downshift of the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and can respond quickly to the driver's power demand during the test drive.

Our test drive vehicle is equipped with 1.5t+48V optical hybrid system, which is the first of its kind in an autonomous vehicle company. In fact, many people don't understand why Qichen will carry such a power system on Qichen Star. How does this system control drivers differently?

Theoretically, the 48V mixed light system can provide a more direct dynamic response at the start, and the practicality of this system can be fully felt in the test drive. After all, Kai Chen Xing is a comfortable and luxurious SUV. Equipped with such a light mixing system, vehicles are more suitable for driving on urban roads, especially in those congested sections.

In addition, Kay Chen Xing's optical hybrid system also has the function of "energy" recovery. Specifically, if you step on the brake pedal during driving, the battery will charge and recover slowly. In addition, this system has another advantage. When the energy is restored, the vehicle will feel a little mopping when it temporarily releases the throttle and continues to drive, but this feeling is not obvious. If the viaduct in the city goes downhill, the energy recovery function of this mixed light system will be better.

Configuration leapfrog: the bigger highlight is driving assistance, which is a car suitable for both men and women.

In addition to excellent motivation, Kay Chen Xing also presents different driving pleasure for drivers during driving. As Qichen is a model under the VSA platform architecture, it has absorbed many resources of Renault-Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance in terms of configuration and technology. Therefore, compared with other models developed by independent brands, Kai Chen Xing will be more stable in expression.

For example, Kay Chen Xing is equipped with a wealth of functions such as active safety assistance system, full-speed ACC intelligent adaptive cruise, FAP automatic parking assistance system, LDW lane departure warning, FEB pre-collision intelligent brake assistance, EAPM intelligent correction system for accelerator misplacement, BSW blind zone warning, DOA door opening warning, RCTA reversing warning and so on.

It is worth mentioning that the car is also equipped with a 360 panoramic camera, which is located in the front, rear, left and right rearview mirrors of the front of the car. In the process of driving, if the right turn signal is turned on, the induction camera will splice the turn with the surrounding image through these cameras, and the whole picture looks very clear, and there is no blind area around the vehicle.

In terms of driving pleasure, I think Qichen Zhilian System 4.0 carried by Qichen Star is very intelligent. In the daily driving process, you can directly call the "Chen Xiao Chen Xiao" Zhilian system to complete the instructions through voice interconnection. For example, air conditioning temperature adjustment, window skylight opening and closing, navigation, listening to music, checking flights and so on …

In addition, you can also travel by car, conduct team formation, hotel reservation and intelligent parking ...

Xiao Chen Xiao Chen.

"I want to go to Jiezi Ancient Town in Chengdu"

(Navigation starts ...)

"I want to listen to May's songs."

May's song has been played ...

Or "I'm hot and I want to see the stars"

(The air conditioning temperature has dropped ... the skylight has been opened ...)

The above passwords are quickly completed in Zhilian system 4.0, and the instructions are recognized by voice. The most interesting thing is that the speech recognition function of Zhilian System 4.0 supports the sound source localization in the four-tone area of the whole vehicle, and also supports Cantonese recognition, which is convenient for "requesting" Chen Xiao to do things for you in the front co-pilot or the back row.

In navigation mode, the direction of AR real-life intelligent navigation on the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard is very clear. In actual driving, the 15.6-inch screen displays Baidu map pictures, but the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard presents AR real-life intelligent navigation pictures. AR real-life intelligent navigation is not simply to project the camera image onto the instrument, but to judge and identify the current lane of the vehicle, and then give safe navigation guidance. In addition to the AR intelligent system, the W-HUD intelligent navigation head-up display system carried by Kay Chen Xing can also obtain navigation, speed, gear position, driving assistance and other information.

Review of Automobile Journals

After the test drive, I think Kai Chen Xing is a compact SUV worth owning, with unique fashion design, luxurious interior design and super-large LCD central control panel. It has four leading USPs, 48 technical highlights and 8 industry technical highlights. In addition, the light mixing system of 1.5T powertrain has good fuel-saving performance, which fully meets the desire of young consumers to buy cars. On the whole, Kai Chenxing has a good price/performance ratio, sincere configuration and close price. Do you think it smells good?
