After rolling up the SUV market, Chinese brands finally pointed the spearhead back to the car market, or used the same strategy, a word “roll”.
Unlike in the early years, when relying solely on increasing the size and increasing the configuration, in the past two years, Chinese brands have begun to play the performance card with the progress of basic strength, and the sportsman car has become a new product label for Chinese brands.
For example, the Arrizo 5 GT, which went on sale on September 8. This sports car priced at 99,900-108,900 yuan adopts the Kunpeng power of Chery Automobile. The engine is a 1.6T four-cylinder, with a maximum horsepower of 197Ps and a maximum torque of 290N·m, which is matched by a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. It is said that the new car can accelerate to 6 seconds at 000 seconds.
From the data point of view, the power parameters of the Arrizo 5 GT are quite outstanding, which has surpassed the level of the same displacement engine of the joint venture. For example, the Versailles C5X is equipped with the 1.6T engine, which has inferior parameter levels to the Arrizo 5 GT engine.
Because of the limited conditions, the author did not have the opportunity to deeply experience the dynamic performance of the Arrizo 5 GT, but only tried a little acceleration, braking, operation and other links in the field.
Specifically, the Arrizo 5 GT in GT BOOST mode can maintain the speed to about 2700 rpm ejection, which can give people the feeling of pushing back and smooth power output.
However, based on on-site observation, the author found that the original tire could not keep up with this fierce control method, and the front wheel would slip, which may also indicate that under normal circumstances, the original naked car is more difficult to run out of 6 seconds of acceleration. In fact, the original bare car is equipped with the tires of the Giti Comfort F22 series, which are characterized by comfort, quietness, wear-resistant and a more home-oriented orientation.
So, if you’re interested in intense handling, I suggest you could replace it with a set of tires that are more maneuverable, which might be better.
The braking performance of the Arrizo 5 GT gives people confidence and the feedback of the brake pedal is more appropriate. The chassis suspension combination is the front McPherson independent suspension + rear torque beam non-independent suspension, the lateral support when cornering is not bad, the body posture is still good, and the roll is not obvious. When turning around and changing lines urgently, the chassis can respond to the needs of steering in a timely manner, and the traceability of the rear of the car is better.
Overall, the performance of the Arrizo 5 GT in the venue is in line with the style of Chery Automobile’s consistent handling orientation.
Compared with the Arrizo 5, the Arrizo 5 GT has also changed a lot in the styling design, and the overall creation of a sporty visual sense.
Specifically, the body posture of the whole vehicle adopts the usual methods in the past, with a low front and a high back, showing a forward stroke of the sports posture.
The design of the front face adopts the popular design ideas of the moment, giving people a sense of impact.
The most eye-catching thing on the side is the orange brake calipers equipped with the front and rear wheels, officially called fixed dual-piston calipers, which are reported to improve braking performance by 20%.
The design of the tail is not much different from the Arrizo 5, and the design of the duckling tail is more attractive.
The trunk depth is larger, the rear hub bag has a slight impact on the trunk space, and the overall space looks relatively large.
The interior design as a whole creates a sense of movement, with the center console biased to the driver’s side, in line with the positioning of the sportsman’s car.
The proportion of soft materials in the car is high, with orange true stitching, and the piano paint and chrome material embellishment are not stingy, and the overall material application reflects the texture.
The color scheme with dark color as the bottom and orange embellishment looks good, and it is more advanced than the previous color scheme of black and red.
In addition, the dual screen on the center console attracts attention, and the electronic shift also reflects the sense of luxury.
For the 4710mm long model with a wheelbase of 2670mm, the rear space of the Arrizo 5 GT is decent enough for the family.
Written at the end: Shadow Leopard, MG MG6, UNI-V, are typical products of the Chinese brand sportsman’s car market, compared to them, the Arrizo 5 GT is a latecomer. Following the wave of Chinese brand caravanserais, Arrizo 5 GT is expected to attract a wave of young fans with its products. In addition, these models will further impact the joint venture brand car market when intensifying the competition of Chinese brand sportsman’s car.
Finally, if you are interested in the Arrizo 5 GT, then the author gives a car purchase suggestion from the perspective of configuration and price difference: preferentially choose the top and the second.
