The Shadow Leopard is a compact car that has been very talked about recently
After all, at this level, there are very few people who dare to play sports
Most products take the comfortable and spacious grocery cart route
Relatively close to the people’s price plus
Design style on sporty orientation
One can’t help but compare it with the Civic
Today we will take a look at the cheapest GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard
What is the strength geometry?
Shadow Leopards do not want to design humans and animals to be harmless
Although there are no “fangs” in the high-end net;
But it is still full of sports style, and it has a bad look
The dimensions are the same across the board
4700×1850×1432mm
The wheelbase is 2736mm
Of course, this set of little feet will reduce the appearance to a certain extent
The size is 215/60 R16
The aspect ratio of 60 is too homely
16 inches is not next to the sporty temperament
Although this set of tires is theoretically more comfortable and less squeamish
But after all, the group of shadow leopards
There is still a pursuit of sportiness
The flat design of the rear of the car is visually good
Chrome exhaust vents are used on both sides
The lower surround also has a decorative design of a diffuser
In the middle, a “pilot light” similar to that on a racing car is also arranged
The design of the interior is not as aggressive as the exterior
But the current popular large joint screen has also been arranged
The dashboard size is also one size smaller at 7 inches
The high configuration is 10.25 inches
The central control 10.25-inch screen is standard on all series
Non-top-of-the-line models support Apple CarPlay
Baidu CarLife and Huawei HiCar
The top-of-the-line model comes with functions such as car networking and voice control
Again, mobile phone connectivity is enough
The physical button air conditioner gives good reviews
Especially for acute children
Solid physical feedback is the most tangible touch
A little regretful, though
The lowest configuration does not have automatic air conditioning, only medium and above
The whole seat is more “original”
Fully manual adjustment
It is also the only fabric seat in the series
The advantage of fabric is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer
Don’t worry about accidentally scratching the skin
The disadvantage is that the sense of grade is not enough, to put it bluntly, it is not good
I really don’t mind being able to wrap a skin later
Aftermarket technology is mature
There are also many options for leather color/stitching
The lack of air outlets in the rear is understandable
But the power connector was also removed
As a positioning for the main young group
The cancellation of this configuration is really regrettable
Let’s talk about the most fascinating part of motivation
The maximum power data is the same as that of the 21 Civic, which is 177 horsepower
But the torque is much greater, 270 Nm
It is composed of the latest third-generation Julang power engine
Water-cooled intercooler with independent water circulation
A rare configuration in its class
Has a shorter intake line
Theoretically, turbo lag will also be smaller, improving power response
The mated gearbox is a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission
So this machine is minimally equipped though in the exterior and interior
A certain degree of dimensionality reduction was carried out
But the core powertrain is the same all system
That’s great
Oh yes,
During the Guangzhou Auto Show
GAC Trumpchi also released the Shadow Leopard Galaxy fighter version
You can understand it as an officially launched modified version
With a large number of exaggerated aerodynamic packages
And with a low-lying effect, the visual effect is quite outstanding
I have to say that the shadow leopard is more and more able to play
