[Evaluation Channel of Pacific Automotive Network] The maverick looks, the exaggerated air package and the slightly muscular body curve. Yes, this is indeed our current definition of a sports sedan, and now with the further expansion of the strength of young consumer groups, many car companies have designed their new cars to cater to the aesthetics of these people as much as possible, but they really do There are only a handful of models that look exactly the same. As the first echelon of its own brand, GAC Trumpchi saw this opportunity and launched its first sports car-GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard (inquiry base price|check reference).
The family-style design clearly creates a sporty atmosphere in place
As a brand-new model based on the GPMA architecture, the Shadow Leopard also unexpectedly adopted a brand-new exterior design with a lot of black strong The elements also create a stronger sense of movement. In addition, on the high-end sports models, the rearview mirrors, window lines, wheels and other components have also been deliberately blackened, and the "small tail" retained on the C-pillar can give people a glance Distinguish this is a model from GAC Trumpchi.
performance test and similar comparison
0-100km/h accelerated test time: 7.19s p
0p has gradually warmed up on that day. After a short period of rainfall, the vehicle’s TCS system was turned off on a slippery road with a temperature of 11°C and the vehicle started in full ejection mode. With the short slip of the front wheels, the vehicle body accelerated in a relatively stable posture. The 7-speed wet dual-clutch The gear shift frustration is restrained more reasonably, the coordination between the gears is also relatively harmonious, and the whole process can show a relatively linear feeling. The final measured 0-100km/h acceleration time is 7.19s, this acceleration performance is in the same class of models Belongs to a mainstream level.
100-0km/h Braking test distance: 34. 6m
When braking at full force, the forward tilt of the body is not very large, so the load on the front wheels is not too high. The main driving position will not feel a noticeable feeling of throwing away. Although the front wheels on a slippery road will skid significantly at the moment of full braking, the friction between the tires and the asphalt road is at a normal level. Because of the temperature, the ABS system's work intervention timing has been advanced a lot, the wheels did not lock up at the moment of full braking, and the overall posture performance and results are all excellent at the same level, and the final measurement is 100-0km/ h The braking distance is 34.6m.

The dynamic feeling is worthy of the positioning of "sports"
Because this event is a small-scale pre-test,Therefore, we were fortunate to come to the Donghai Dr. Testing Field in Jiangsu to conduct elk, acceleration, and staking tests. For a family car that focuses on sports, the test results of these subjects are particularly important, and the Shadow Leopard has indeed reached its due level.
field subject test (circular track, elk test , spool test)
developed a “small indulgence” that also takes into account the family’s “Popular Indulgence” Shadow3strong developed by P. Julang Power 1.5TGDI engine, the third-generation engine has improved power and fuel economy compared to the old engine, with a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 270N·m. It is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox It also maintains a smoother texture in terms of shifting experience.
In terms of driving experience, this power system has two completely different personalities. In Sport and Sport+ modes, the rhythm of the gearbox shifting is particularly strong. The reduction in power output modification results in It is sensory stimulation, and when you want to drive it gently, you can still get what you want.
When the speed is above 80km/h, tire noise is more obvious, and the sound of four exhaust exhaust completely overwhelms the original sound of the engine. However, because it is not a mass production version, the NVH performance on the trial vehicle is not of reference significance. After consulting the manufacturer’s technicians, I learned that whether it is the exhaust sound or the choice of tires, more will be done before mass production. Wheel adjustment.
In fact, the Civic is not alone in this level.
The most gratifying thing is that GAC Trumpchi has not given up its own car field because of the hot sales of SUV in recent years.Instead, it increased investment and launched a variety of models. In addition to the redesigned GA6, the flagship sedan GA8 was also upgraded. The Shadow Leopard launched this time is also to further broaden the audience. In the domestic automobile market, high-end domestic compact sedans and joint venture compact sedans have many excellent products that focus on sports. However, with the addition of more and more independent brands, it has gradually made us understand that in this level, Not only joint venture cars.
