It’s all other people’s “shadows”. Does GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard have a show to watch?

For a long time, people have always used performance cars as a standard to measure the prosperity of a country’s automobile industry. Needless to say, the United States, which has built all kinds of muscle cars, Japan, which has all kinds of civilian performance cars, and the European camp, the cradle of supercars, even the Hyundai of South Korea next door can make Stinger and Coolpad. Looking at the history of our own brand cars, there is only one Lynk&Co 03+, and another one that claims to be able to race with high-speed rail, but in fact, the high-speed rail version is not available. The normal version has been tested by various slings. The MG 6. After the Lynk & Co 03+, autonomous cars are showing signs of vigorous performance, and GAC Chuanqi Shadow Leopard as a latecomer, it seems to have a little meaning.

In terms of appearance, the originality of the appearance of the shadow leopard is very ordinary. It’s not about who it copied, but it doesn’t seem to have its own unique characteristics. For example, the front hexagonal big mouth and the car lights complement each other to form an Audi. The side windows are very similar to the Lynk & Co 03. The arrow-shaped waistline of the body is very distinctive, but in fact the first arrow is the concept car Vision of Tucson L. T, and a little messy. The rear of the car is a combination of Corolla and Camry, so the Leopard from the rear of the car looks like a Camry. I remember that the design level of GAC is still quite good. For example, GS8 has not been outdated until now, but GA6 has become a tailor in Yingbao. The shadow of the shadow leopard means that the appearance is all the shadow of others? The interior…I’m ashamed that we can’t talk about the interior, because even in the media test drive, the interior is covered in layers because it is in a confidential stage and cannot be made public until the Shanghai Auto Show. However, according to some details disclosed by other colleagues in the media, the interior control of the Shadow Leopard is a dual screen, and the shape of the steering wheel is more consistent with the appearance style, which is more disciplined. I personally speculate that the interior of the Shadow Leopard will not surprise the audience too much. There are definitely no unconventional things, but it should be able to afford the audience. The configuration aspect is also unknown, hoping to be worthy of the audience. In terms of power, the Shadow Leopard is equipped with a new Julang-powered 1.5TGDI engine with a maximum horsepower of 177 horsepower and a maximum torque of 270 Nm. According to the official statement, it can run as fast as 6.9 seconds. Although that is the case, if you go for a run by yourself, with low EQ, it is seven seconds away, or even nine seconds. In terms of high EQ, the Shadow Leopard might make the co-driver and the rear seat feel better. I have sat on the mini cooper S, and it was also measured using this data. I sat in the co-pilot and felt that the blood and brain were flying out of the back of my head. It was really uncomfortable. I had to pretend to be stepping on the accelerator to hit the direction. And what will the price of the Shadow Leopard be? Obviously, in this era where each class of car has a corresponding price point, the price of the Shadow Leopard is easy to guess. Looking at the price of compact sports cars, Honda Civic’s 1.5T models start at 129,900, MG 6 starts at 93,800, and Lynk & Co 03 starts at 113,800. And GAC Trumpchi already has its own compact car GA4, which is priced at 75,800, and the top model does not exceed 100,000. Therefore, the guide price of Shadow Leopard will probably be exactly 100,000, but the wheel size and appearance will shrink. The top model, that is, the exterior package looks a lot, the internal configuration is also rich, and the visual inspection is another 150,000 yuan. But everything needs to wait for the Shanghai Auto Show to be finalized. Some media friends like to use the Shadow Leopard to benchmark the Lynk & Co 03+, but in fact, we should not just look at the appearance to distinguish the level of the car. The description in the way of saving data is: light is useless, the Shadow Leopard is benchmarked against 1.5T Lynk & Co 03 is pretty much the same. Compared with the Lynk & Co 03, the Shadow Leopard has the advantage of 1.5T, while the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is a four-cylinder. Although the Lynk & Co 03’s three-cylinder tuning is really good, consumers do not recognize it. However, in view of the fact that Lynk & Co 03 has a “domestic first performance car” and other auras, and people come up to participate in the race against foreign countries, so Lynk & Co has a brand halo. So, when does GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard participate in an event?
