Before the new energy vehicle purchase tax exemption policy ends, many consumers are worrying about what car to buy. For example, with a budget of 150,000 yuan, you can buy a boxy SUV or an extended-range SUV, but when you want to buy an extended-range boxy SUV at the same time, that really puts car companies in a bit of a bind. However, there are no absolutes. Right now there happens to be a popular, one-of-a-kind extended-range boxy model in the 150,000-yuan class, and it is the "Fengyun X3L" from Fengyun New Energy.
Standard 8155 cockpit + L2 intelligent driving
First, looking at the price that everyone cares about most, the guide price of the Fengyun X3L is 119,900 to 159,900 yuan, and there is currently a discount of 10,000 yuan. Therefore, if you only use it for daily commuting, the two-wheel-drive version is enough to meet your needs. On the other hand, if you want to experience off-road performance, choose the top-trim four-wheel-drive high-energy version, and the price on the road should not exceed 160,000 yuan, which can be said to be very tempting.
Of course, an attractive price is one thing, but for consumers who increasingly understand cars, product strength is also very important.
Take the vehicle's exterior as an example. As the sales champion in the boxy category, if Chery Automobile says its understanding of boxy design ranks second,恐怕 few car companies would dare say they are first. Therefore, we can see that the exterior design of the Fengyun X3L not only adopts the classic boxy silhouette, but also incorporates the Huizhou architecture aesthetic paradigm of "level eaves and upright ridges" into the front face. Combined with the square, upright body-side styling, the overall exterior looks very tough and upright, and even has a bit of a cyberpunk feel, matching young people's aesthetic taste for personalization and trendiness.
While being aesthetically pleasing, practicality must naturally also be taken into account. Although the Fengyun X3L is positioned as a compact SUV, because it does not need to be equipped with a complex mechanical transmission mechanism, it can adopt a better short-body, long-wheelbase design. This not only improves the vehicle's handling agility, but also, relying on a leading wheelbase of 2783 mm and a super-large trunk volume that can expand to 1238 L after the rear seats are folded down, meets Chinese families' vehicle needs for a large cabin.
In addition, the Fengyun X3L also deeply understands how much young users value refinement and intelligence. Therefore, we can see that as a product priced at only just over 100,000 yuan, the intelligent cockpit equipped in the Fengyun X3L comes standard across the lineup with luxurious tech configurations such as a 15.6-inch 2.5K central control large screen, a 9.2-inch full LCD instrument panel, and an 8155 chip, and it also has a built-in infotainment system that supports four-zone intelligent voice recognition control, remote control, and rich entertainment functions, bringing convenient and easy-to-use intelligent vehicle experiences to the drivers and passengers in the car.
However, that is not all. The Fengyun X3L is also equipped across the lineup with an L2 intelligent driving system. In particular, the Falcon 500 driving intelligent driving system installed in higher-trim models has more than 20 assisted driving functions and supports a one-stage end-to-end algorithm, allowing users to experience high-level intelligent driving functions such as highway navigation and full-scenario parking assistance even within a price range of under 150,000 yuan.
All-aluminum body + dual-motor four-wheel drive
Seeing this, if someone told you that a model costing more than 100,000 yuan could also be called a luxury model, would you believe it?
The reason for daring to say this comes from the fact that, in terms of body materials, the Fengyun X3L uses an all-aluminum body that is usually only seen on high-end luxury models. This material, with a more complex process and higher cost, has advantages such as lighter weight, higher rigidity, and stronger corrosion resistance. In addition, the car also uses a lighter unsprung-mass cast-aluminum H-arm rear suspension on the chassis. Combined with FSD variable damping suspension, this can greatly improve the vehicle's handling and comfort.
Not only that, the Kunpeng Golden Range-Extender CEM equipped in the Fengyun X3L is also very impressive. The range extender has a thermal efficiency of up to 45.79%, a maximum continuous power generation power of 70 kW, and 1 L of fuel can generate up to 3.71 kWh of electricity. Its efficiency performance is excellent, and there is no need to worry at all about power interruption or weakness in the depleted state. In terms of performance, the four-wheel-drive version equipped with dual motors has a total motor power of 315 kW and total torque of 505 N·m, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.7 seconds, comparable to million-yuan-class sports cars. In addition, there is no need to worry about the car's range performance. The pure electric range is up to 215 kilometers, and the comprehensive range exceeds 1,200 kilometers, enabling both low-cost commuting and fearlessness for long-distance travel.
Finally, let's look at the "finale" that everyone cares about, namely the off-road performance of the Fengyun X3L. First, from the hardcore off-road parameters: approach angle 22°, departure angle 30°, gradeability 100%, ground clearance 225 mm, and wading depth 625 mm. Combined with an intelligent electric four-wheel-drive system and an 8+X all-terrain mode that supports functions such as tank turn and low-speed crawl, the off-road strength it demonstrates can even handle relatively difficult off-road conditions, bringing users an off-road experience comparable to million-yuan luxury SUVs!
Daxia Car Talk: Undoubtedly, as the one-of-a-kind extended-range boxy model in the 150,000-yuan class, the leading intelligence and powerful performance demonstrated by the Fengyun X3L can be called invincible among products in the same price range. Therefore, when you want to buy a new energy boxy model with off-road attributes before New Year's Day, the Fengyun X3L will also be the only choice within 150,000 yuan!
