On November 24, 2019, the Hangzhou area of Southeast Automobile held a grand test drive meeting for Southeast DX5. Regional leaders of Southeast Motors, invited guests and more than a hundred people from the media gathered together to deeply experience the perfect driving of Southeast DX5. Southeast DX5, as a brand-new small SUV, forms a dual-vehicle pattern with Southeast DX3 to jointly conquer the young market.
Southeast DX5 has brought a lot of freshness to people. As another masterpiece of Binfa, the design of this car can cater to the preferences of the fashion group, and it is more inclined to young people. Following DX7 and DX3, DX5 adopts the latest family design with strong continuity and unity, showing the high level of car design of Southeast Motors. From the perspective of the whole vehicle, DX5 has more exquisite details, revealing a sense of sophistication everywhere, and the young and fashionable two-color body can also be used.
DX5 follows the route of refinement, and the interior has undergone radical changes. The most important thing is to reach the mainstream level in the sense of technology, and the shape of the interior is also to better meet the use of LCD screens. The screen adopts a larger 10-inch suspension design, with an angle of 12 degrees inclined to the driver, and is embedded with the latest car-machine system, which covers the only remote start function available in its class. In addition, the instrument panel also uses a 7-inch LCD screen. Therefore, the biggest feeling that DX5 brings to me is the improvement of technology configuration and the design concept of serving technology configuration.
As a product with high expectations, Southeast DX5\ is equipped with a new generation of Southeast Smart Link system, integrated navigation system, real-time road condition display system, Bluetooth and car phone, etc. In addition, with the Southeast Zhilian APP, the Bluetooth key function can be realized. After authorization, the mobile phone is the car key, which completely solves the embarrassing situation of using a car in a different place without a key. The APP can also control the unlocking and unlocking of the vehicle door, remote start, and front and rear windows. functions such as fog. In addition, in addition to the remote control of the mobile phone, it can also be controlled by the mobile phone by downloading the Southeast Zhilian APP. In the program, in addition to synchronously viewing driving information such as remaining fuel, fuel consumption, and cruising mileage, it can also be directly authorized after authorization. A series of requirements such as opening the car door, starting the engine, and turning on the air conditioner mean that the mobile phone becomes the car key.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Southeast DX5 are 4406*1840*1654mm (1680mm with roof rack), and the wheelbase is 2615mm.
The day’s activities were divided into track test drive and fun interaction. During the track test drive, the media and customers experienced U-shaped curves, snake-shaped winding piles, straight-line acceleration and emergency braking, etc. These items were a good test It has improved the power, handling and suspension support of DX5. It fully demonstrates the sports attainments of Southeast DX5 and highlights its young and energetic character. During the interesting interaction, everyone experienced the speed karting and the global smart electric mountain SDU fashion riding, etc. The interactive atmosphere on the spot was very fashionable and sporty.
DX5, like DX3, provides two engines, 1.5L and 1.5T. Although the hardware is roughly the same, these two engines on DX5 have already reached the National VIB emission standard. The top-equipped flagship model of the whole series we tested matched the latter. The performance parameters are also consistent with the DX3. This 1.5T turbo engine model 4A91T can burst out with a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 225N·m. It is matched with the third-generation CVT continuously variable transmission from Punch, which creates the DX5’s excellent upshift acceleration smoothness and optimizes fuel economy at the same time. Because this power system is the same as the one on DX3, after the polishing of DX3, it has made up for and optimized the flaws, so don’t worry about the power system will bring you a jerky feeling, whether it is matching, reliability, or durability It’s all nothing to worry about.
The driving feeling of the DX5 is very similar to that of the DX3. The overall feeling is that it is very relaxed. This is also what a family-use city-level SUV should be like, calm and steady. You can compare it to your partner on the journey, or the kind that can help you keep calm at all times. No matter how impatient or irritable you are, it will patiently let you return to reason, but the feeling of pushing back is still It can be built well. For straight-line acceleration, this engine performs well at low torque, with ample power and extended power continuity. It is very docile, but as long as you step on the accelerator deeply, the running characteristics are displayed proudly.
With a CVT gearbox, the advantages of CVT are highlighted. The speed-up of DX5 at low speeds will be a little less aggressive than that of DX3. It feels that the burst point of power is earlier, but only in comparison, the overall power is still soft. Even after the throttle is fully pushed, the feeling of pushing back will not be very strong, and the overall rhythm is still mainly linear, which will not provide you with too much passion. Words such as rushing, abrupt, and instant explosion cannot be found in DX5. of.
In terms of suspension, the DX5 is very textured and very close to sports. When cornering, the body roll is suppressed, which makes people feel confident. This car adopts the electric power steering system, which is very light at low speeds. It can be said that it is suitable for both men and women. After high speeds, the power will be tightened. All DX series adopt the front McPherson and rear multi-link chassis setting, and DX5 is no exception. Fully independent suspension is also a rare configuration in small SUVs. Southeast Motors has always used this advantage to ensure competition. force.
The most touching part of Southeast DX5 is the product quality. Although it is only a few thousand dollars more expensive than DX3, we can see a huge improvement in product strength. The price of 69,900 to 99,900 yuan is very attractive for this small SUV that pursues quality. The car will be a competitive player in the small SUV market. Friends who admire appearance and pursue youthful passion do not seem to have too much immunity to this car.
