Bitauto OriginalIn the domestic MPV market, Dongfeng Fengxing is definitely a veteran. The Smart series has a history of 20 years since its launch in 2001, with sales reaching 800,000 units. Despite its impressive achievements, Dongfeng Fengxing has always lacked competitive products in the mid-to-high-end MPV market. At this Guangzhou Auto Show, Dongfeng Fengxing brought a brand new home MPV, which was officially named Fengxing Yacht.
New car quick overview:
1. Built on the Fengxing EMA platform, equipped with a 1.5T direct injection engine;
2. The wheelbase reaches 2900mm, and the car adopts a 2+2+3 seat layout;< /p>
3. It adopts a new design language and its appearance is very trendy.
In fact, the concept car of the yacht has been unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show before. Because the design is extremely unique, we have also carried out Special interpretation. This time at the Guangzhou Auto Show, Dongfeng Fengxing brought a mass-produced version of the yacht. The new car is expected to be officially launched in early 2022.
Unfortunately, Fengxing Yachts was not fully open at this Guangzhou Auto Show. For example, its body is heavily painted, and its interior is also in the "secret" stage. But I am not unfamiliar with this car. I have also participated in internal visits, so combined with the display cars at this auto show, I will show you its characteristics.
The biggest attraction of this car is the exterior design, especially the front face is completely different from before , even compared with the popular T5 EVO on sale, the design language has made a big breakthrough. Having said so much, I actually want to say that its front grille is so unique, and its area is almost the largest among cars currently on sale.
In addition to its large area, the grille also has many detailed features, and the irregular strips are a bit Like shark gills, the two sides are symmetrically designed to meet in the middle to form a "V" shape. According to previous information, the daytime running lights extend to both sides, forming two "little beards", which also look very distinctive.
The headlights of the yacht are integrated with the front grille. The full LED headlights have a full visual effect, and the internal matrix layout is also very technological. Although the original paint cannot be seen in the painted coating, according to previous declaration information, there will be a chrome strip around the front grille, and the chrome strip will extend backwards To the rear of the car, it creates a very good sense of luxury.
As an MPV, the body size of Fengxing·Yacht is also quite eye-catching. According to previous declaration information, its dimensions are: 4850/1900/1715mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2900mm. In terms of size, it is very close to the well-known Odyssey, which also has a 2900mm wheelbase. Therefore, Fengxing Yacht is an MPV model with a very mainstream size.
Compared with traditional MPVs, the side shape of Fengxing·Yacht is more sporty, not the kind of four-wheel Square shape. In terms of the depiction of side details, the waistline that echoes from front to back is also very distinctive. However, such a design will have a "hidden danger", that is, the space in the car, especially the head space of the third row passengers, will be affected. How Dongfeng Fengxing will solve this problem will be explained to you as soon as possible in the future.

From this level, the tire configuration is a decent combination, but fortunately the overall visual effect is not bad.
The rear of the yacht’s body is very simple, and the through-type taillight is a popular design at present. Replacing traditional car logos with English letters is also a very mainstream practice nowadays. Overall, the rear of the car is stylish and looks very simple.
Power part, popular·The yacht is expected to be equipped with a 1.5T Mitsubishi 4A95TD engine with a maximum power of 145kW, and the gearbox is expected to match a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Referring to Fengxing T5 EVO, this power system is also quite interesting in terms of technology and actual performance. Judging from the car show scene, the rear suspension of the car is a torsion beam.
Currently in the MPV market of 100,000-150,000 yuan, we are familiar with the Trumpchi M6 , Wuling Capgemini and other popular models. From a sales perspective, monthly sales of Trumpchi M6, Wuling Capgemini and other models have been stable at around 4,000 units. Among joint venture brands, Buick GL8 and Honda Odyssey and Honda Allison also have very stable sales.
Moreover, MPV sales have been gradually increasing in recent years. This is in conjunction with the country’s open three-child policy. There is an inseparable relationship, which also reflects the more rational concept of domestic consumers in using cars.
For For Fengxing·Yacht, it will definitely compete with similar independent models such as Trumpchi M6 and Wuling Capgemini. As a latecomer, it still has product strength. What are the new features? Please continue to pay attention to: Zhu Tao YC, I will continue to report.
