Compared to a compact SUV that is completely practical, it can be a small SUV that can express individuality and sports fashion, and it can be favored by young consumers. Dongfeng Fengshen released a new small SUV AX4 ​​at this year's Shanghai Auto Show. The shape of this car is quite good compared to the same level of competing products, and the attention has always been not small. This time we got the opportunity to experience Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 statically. Let's take a look at how it works.
The appearance is young and fashionable, and the light group is eye-catching.
The Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 is inspired by the design of the singularity. The LED daytime running lights are individually designed above the headlights, and the recognition is very clear. The fog lights on both sides of the front bumper come from the cat's claw shape and look very powerful. In order to compromise the actual illumination effect, the reflector lamp bowl is not attached to the upper and lower sides, and only the middle area can be illuminated.
The exterior mirror is also a very recognizable design of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX4. There are three steering shades on the outer casing, but for cost reasons, only the outermost light source is installed. Underneath the front door, the car is also fitted with a silver-plated chrome-plated AX4 logo, which is surrounded by black plastic around the body to create a wild atmosphere.
The trunk of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 uses the same black color as the hidden C-pillar, which contrasts sharply with the colored body and gives a strong visual impact. The indicator light and the brake light inside the tail light group are all LED light sources, and the effect is good after lighting. The fog lights are individually designed under the bumper to echo the front of the car.
In terms of body size, the length and width of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 reached 4195/1780/1622 mm and the wheelbase was 2580 mm, which is close to the Changan CS15. The real shot model uses a double four-petal shape aluminum alloy rim, matching the Wanli HARMONIC 215/50 R17 size tire, which is in the mainstream level in the same class.
The interior is simple and practical, and the material is thick.
The interior of the Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 still adopts a younger design style. The air-conditioning air outlet is surrounded by a surrounding strip with the same color as the body, which brings a lively atmosphere to the interior. Although the three-position steering wheel and the dual-barrel instrument are not new, they are also one of the best ways to improve your sense of movement.
In addition to the touch operation, the car's floating multimedia LCD screen can be adjusted by the multimedia control module behind the block. There is only one row of large-sized air conditioning control buttons above the center console. It is also very convenient to operate during driving, but the response speed is occasionally slow. The AX4 also matches a single LCD screen for the air conditioning system, which is commendable.
The Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 uses a large amount of soft materials inside. The upper part of the center console and the upper part of the door are covered with plastic materials. There are leather covers around the armrests, which has certain advantages compared with the same class. The new car is also designed with a pull-out shoe box underneath the co-pilot seat, which can also be used to load small pieces.
The AX4 is a 5-seat layout in the 2+3 format. The real-life model seats are also wrapped in leather and the interior is very soft. In addition, the rear seats of the new car support 4/6 ratio down, and the flat design of the central floor also gives the middle passengers ample foot space, but it is a pity that the seat is not equipped with a headrest.
Two power options
The Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 will be powered by 1.6L and 1.4T gasoline engines with a maximum power of 124 hp and 140 hp respectively. In terms of suspension system, the AX4 will adopt the combination of the former McPherson independent suspension and the rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, which is at the mainstream level in the same class.
Conclusion
As a small SUV facing young consumers, the Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 has not been able to be picky in terms of design, and the configuration level is fully in line with the expectations of this class. However, what we are currently experiencing is only the static part. Dynamic performance is also a crucial factor in daily use. This can also be followed by our follow-up reports. Of course, the most important thing is the price. Dongfeng Fengshen AX4 is expected to be officially launched in September this year. By then, if you can set a reasonable price range, you must have the potential to explode.
