Electric Technology Car News: Looking beyond the surface and into the essence, is Zotye’s Damai X7 really not a copycat?

At present, the Dalmai X7 offers 1.5T, 1.8T and the top 2.0T models on the market, with a price range of 89,900-161,900 yuan. While the price range is wide, it also covers more market segments. Among them, the 2.0T model has the strongest power and rich configuration. So compared with other models, what aspects has it improved? How is the overall performance? Without further ado, let's take a look at its performance.

In terms of appearance, the overall design of the DFM X7 is grand and tough, and the appearance of the entire series of models remains consistent. The design of the front grille connected to the headlights has become a must-have design technique for almost every new car. The 20.T model is equipped with LED headlights, which is a higher-than-expected configuration.

The side proportions of the DFM X7 are well-proportioned, and the overall impression is still very sturdy. It is also worth mentioning that the electric suction door is standard for the 2.0T model, which is unique among the models of the same level, and has a strong sense of grade, which is worthy of praise. The rear of the car has clear layers, and the use of more chrome trim strips has a certain effect on improving the texture.

In terms of interior, the 2.0T model has the same interior design as before, and there are not many changes. The light-colored interior design also looks quite classy, ​​but the owner needs to take care of it on a daily basis. The three-spoke steering wheel has a slightly flat-bottomed design style, and the visual effect is quite sporty, but the steering wheel only supports up and down adjustment. I hope the manufacturer can optimize it in the future.

The design of the 7-inch display screen of the instrument panel + the 10-inch touch screen of the multimedia system can indeed enhance the sense of class and technology. However, the latter still needs to be improved in terms of light suppression, and the reflection is quite serious, which affects the use. The flatness of the trunk is good, the rear seats support proportional folding, and the 2.0T model has an electric trunk.

In terms of power, we are already familiar with this 2.0T engine, which is used in our SR9 and T700. Its maximum power is 190 horsepower (140 kilowatts) and its peak torque is 250 Nm. The gearbox is a 6-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, and it uses a knob shifting method, which has a strong sense of class.

Putting aside the styling, from the perspective of car use alone, the DFM X7 is still a good model. First of all, it has a large enough space, and the wheelbase of 2850mm has obvious advantages among models of the same level. Secondly, the rich configuration mentioned above. Finally, it has enough power for daily use, and the smoothness of the gearbox and the soft chassis tuning can bring satisfactory comfort. In addition, although the new car still has room for optimization in some details, it has to be said that for a medium-sized SUV priced at less than 150,000 yuan, the overall performance of the DFM X7 2.0T model is still good.
