New energy vehicles are the development trend of the future automobile industry. In this new track, independent brands have shown huge advantages, including the rise of new car-making forces such as Nio, , Ideal, Xpeng, etc. At the same time, BYD , which has started its deployment in the field of new energy vehicles early, has also become the focus of attention. Of course, some veteran "national teams" have also joined the battle for market share of new energy vehicles, such as back-to-back Dongfeng's Lantu, BAIC's Jihu standing behind it, etc., of course are also indispensable Feifan Automobile , a subsidiary of SAIC Group .

However, with the support of the "national team" boss, some cars have not shown their due market competitiveness. For example, Feifan Automobile's current main model, the MARVEL R, which is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, has high hopes, but the market size However, it is quite bleak. Judging from the latest sales statistics released, the monthly sales of Feifan MARVEL R are as low as 72 units. Looking at the sales performance since its launch, it is also tepid, and it is now popular among everyone. Compared with the new car-making forces, the national team failed to take advantage. So is a model that has been neglected by the market worth buying? Next, let’s find the answer from the performance of Feifan MARVEL R.

There are currently three models of Feifan MARVEL R on sale, with the manufacturer’s guide price ranging from 229,800 to 269,800. Judging from the price and positioning of medium-sized SUVs, Feifan MARVEL R and BYD Tang EV are considered to be competitors at the same level. , and the car that the editor wants to show you today is a top-end model priced at less than 270,000, the strength of the 2021 four-wheel drive PRO version of the Feifan MARVEL R.

In terms of appearance, Feifan MARVEL R adopts the closed grille design commonly used in new energy vehicles, with a simple and elegant shape. The design of through-type LED light strips and split headlight sets also appears to be more avant-garde. In addition, the real-shot model is the MARVEL R Black Warrior version. It is painted in black, with bright orange-red trim strips and a red "R" logo. The sporty atmosphere is also quite strong.

In terms of the shape of the side of the car body, the overall focus is on creating a sporty feel. The relatively rhythmic high waistline design lowers the visual center of gravity of the vehicle and makes it appear quite stable. At the same time, Feifan MARVEL R also adopts the more popular nowadays The design style of the hidden door handle not only enhances the sense of technology, but also helps to enhance the sense of technology of the entire vehicle.

The tires use Michelin tires with specifications of 235/45/R19. At the same time, the blackened multi-spoke wheels are matched with red calipers. The sporty atmosphere is also quite in place. In terms of size, Feifan MARVEL R has a body length, width and height of 4674x1919x1618mm and a wheelbase of 2800mm, making it a relatively entry-level mid-sized SUV.

Coming to the rear of the car, the application of the most popular through-type LED taillights is very eye-catching, and the structural processing inside the lamp cavity is also relatively delicate, with a strong sense of class. The design details of the diffusion hole are equipped under the tail to enhance this The sporty aura of this car.

The interior design of the car is simple, and the control of various functions is basically integrated into the large central control screen, with only a small number of physical buttons retained. In terms of interior color matching, there are mainly dark colors, and there are also dark and light two-color interiors available. I personally prefer the dual-color interior design, which has a richer home style and is more suitable for the atmosphere of a family car. At the same time, in terms of materials, the main beams in the car are covered with leather soft bags, which reflects the sense of quality quite well.

At the configuration level, BOSE speakers , 64-color interior atmosphere lights, soundproof glass , seat ventilation, seat heating and many other configurations to improve driving comfort are equipped. In addition, the Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, facial recognition Functions such as recognition, voice control, intelligent assisted driving systems, etc. are also available, and the configuration level is basically full.

In terms of power, this car uses a four-wheel drive system driven by three motors at the front and rear. The front wheel is equipped with an permanent magnet synchronous motor , and the rear wheel is equipped with two permanent magnet synchronous motors. The system has maximum output. The power is 222kW (302Ps) and the total torque reaches 665N·m. It is matched with a 2-speed automatic transmission and accelerates to 100 kilometers in 4.8S. In the actual experience, the entire set of power adjustment is relatively positive, especially in the sports mode, the power is on call, and the accelerator pedal is deeply pressed, and there is a strong back-pushing feeling.

In terms of chassis, Feifan MARVEL R uses a four-wheel independent suspension combination with double wishbones in the front and multi-links in the rear. At the same time, the unsprung swing arms of the front and rear suspensions are made of aluminum alloy materials, which effectively reduces the unsprung mass. This set The combination of the suspension and the selection of materials are not unkind. In actual experience, the entire suspension is also relatively thorough in filtering out small bumps. The middle and rear sections of the mid-suspension are of a stiffer design, which is more suitable for the vehicle. It can also give the body enough support when going over huge bumps and cornering at high speeds.

Summary: Overall, Feifan MARVEL R has some shortcomings, but there are also many highlights. Among them, the performance and control advantages shown by the performance and chassis are more eye-catching, and the appearance is also cool enough, especially the "Dark Warrior" The features of the new version of the model are even more distinctive. Of course, if we insist on talking about shortcomings, the interior space of this car is slightly inferior. For a medium-sized SUV with a full 5-seater layout and a wheelbase of 2.8 meters, it is not a big problem for daily household use, but it is not as big as imagined. If you are wealthy, there will be a certain psychological gap.
