Many consumers pay great attention to the popular models when buying a car. After all, they don’t know how to choose. Buying a hot-selling car is a feasible choice. But in fact, sometimes many new models on the market are more cost-effective. Note that what we are talking about here is not new cars on the market, but new or modified models of models that have already been on the market. First, new models generally have many optimizations compared to old models, making the overall performance of the vehicle better. Secondly, the launch of new models is to improve the competitiveness of products, so the new models are also more cost-effective. Third, popular models are good, but the disadvantage is that the price is very high and the price-performance ratio is not high. So many times, it is necessary to pay more attention to new models. Take the field of compact SUVs as an example. In fact, the author has noticed a new model that has been launched. The price of the new model is about 15,000 yuan lower than the old model, and the body size and other aspects have not been reduced. It is Dongfeng Fengxing’s 2020 T5. The new model sells for less than 70,000 yuan, has a wheelbase of more than 2.7 meters, and its sales have doubled within two months of its launch! Do I really have to watch H6? This car is more worth seeing! The starting price of the previous generation Fengxing T5 was 84,900, while the starting price of the 2020 T5 dropped directly to 69,900, which can be said to be a significant improvement in cost performance. And like the old model, it is still positioned as a large five-seater compact SUV. Compared with the 2600mm wheelbase of the same class, its body wheelbase is 2720mm. The new model still continues the large space advantage of T5. And aside from the space advantage, the price of the new T5 is also very cost-effective. For a compact SUV, the price range is 69,900-119,900, and there are small discounts in the market, which means you can buy one for

For a compact SUV, the price range is 69,900-119,900, and there are small discounts in the market, which means you can buy one for less than 70,000. It is a compact SUV, while models of the same level cost close to 90,000. This price can already buy a mid-range model of the new T5. The price is very advantageous among models in the same class. It is worth mentioning that the driving experience of the new T5 is very good. Compared with the 2018 T5, the texture has been significantly improved, and it is not inferior to popular models such as H6 and Boyue. It is equipped with two sets of power, one is 1.6L+5MT, and the other is 1.5T+6AT. The author test-drove this turbocharged power combination. Let’s talk about my specific feelings! The 1.5T of the new T5 has a maximum torque of 230NM. Although the data is not eye-catching, it performed well in actual driving. The power reserve in the first half of the engine is very sufficient. When driving at medium and low speeds, the whole vehicle feels very brisk. It can start and overtake quickly, and the power is basically on call. This is related to the fact that it uses a low-inertia turbocharger, which has good low-speed response, so the peak torque of this car comes very early, which is why its low-speed performance is so good. The rear-end acceleration of this engine is not ideal. A common problem with low-inertia turbocharging is that it limits the engine's limits. Therefore, in the second half of the engine, especially after 4,000 rpm, the engine power improvement is not very obvious. Generally speaking, it is still a design that favors family cars, and the high speed of 4,000 rpm is almost never used. One thing that is certain about this 6AT gearbox is that the smoothness is very good. There is almost no frustration when switching between the second and third gears frequently. This is much better than the dual-clutch model. It also understands the driver's intentions very well. On stop-and-go congested roads, you won't have to apply the brakes too much because the gearbox's shifting logic is too poor. If there is a disadvantage, it is that when you step on the accelerator deeply when you are not in "S" gear, the transmission will not actively downshift continuously to increase the speed, and the control of the engine speed is very low, and will not exceed 3500 rpm. , the tuning of this car is too comfortable and fuel-efficient. In addition to the feeling of power, its chassis performance is also good, and it is still a comfortable adjustment. The front section of the suspension is very soft and can filter out most of the noise and vibrations on the road, while the rear end of the suspension is very flexible and can provide better support to the car body when facing relatively large potholes, minimizing unnecessary vibrations. Bounce and shake. The directionality of the steering wheel is average, which is of course a common problem of many SUVs, but it feels good, light at low speeds, and has strong feedback at high speeds. Judging from the test drive, the driving experience of the new T5 is not much different from that of cars of the same level, but it has a slight advantage in terms of power matching. What is certain is that the interior space of this car is better than that of its class. In other aspects of the interior, it is also at the level that a domestic car should have, with a large area of soft material coverage and a host of technological configurations. Although the price of the new T5 has dropped, its configurations have not, which is great. Both engines meet National VI B emissions, and the entire vehicle has a long warranty of 8 years or 160,000 kilometers. Overall, the new T5 is very cost-effective and is a very affordable family car choice!
