Electric Technology Car News: Can the Xuanlang, which is very good-looking but not comfortable, and beats the Baojun 730, open up a new pattern for MPVs?

At the Guangzhou Auto Show at the end of last year, Lifan Motors brought a brand-new MPV product, Xuanlang. The power combination of 1.5T+8AT is eye-catching. I think for most models, good looks are a good plus. Looking at the current household MPVs under 100,000 yuan, there are many models with a moderate design, in order to meet the aesthetics of more consumers. Xuanlang has a fashionable appearance, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as having a high appearance. Such a design is more in line with the aesthetics of young consumers.

Xuanlang is a new MPV product launched by Lifan Motors, which has a high appearance. The polygonal big mouth shape is one of the popular design elements nowadays, creating a more radical visual effect. The front headlight group has added a large number of chrome trim strips, which looks more energetic. Headlight height adjustment and automatic headlights are all standard for the whole series, which performs well.

The 1.8L models are equipped with 215/55 R17 Sindi tires, front and rear disc brakes, and the tire size is above average in the same class. The rear of the car is outlined with multiple lines, showing a stronger sense of layering, and the four reversing radar probes are equipped at an excellent level among models of the same price.

The interior of Xuanlang is highly original and has good performance in terms of materials. A large area of ​​soft material is added to the center console, which creates a good touch and sense of class. The center console screen of the 1.8L model has been changed to an embedded type, and the screen response is relatively fast. In terms of functionality, it supports CarPlay, Bluetooth, etc., but it is not equipped with a reversing image function, which is a pity for this screen.

The biggest difference between the Practical and Elite models is the panoramic sunroof, which costs 2,000 yuan more than the other models. Unfortunately, it cannot be opened. There are four air-conditioning vents on both sides of the roof to ensure the comfort of the rear passengers.

In terms of power, the Xuanlang 1.8L model is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 98kW and a maximum torque of 168Nm, equipped with VVT technology. It is matched with a 5-speed manual transmission. In order to highlight the price competitiveness of the 1.8L model, all 1.8L models are manual transmissions, and there is no automatic transmission. The Xuanlang 1.8L models are equipped with traditional mechanical handbrakes, which are actually very quick to use.

At the beginning of this month, Xuanlang added two 1.8L models, which basically became Xuanlang's entry-level models in terms of price (the practical model and standard model are at the same price but with higher configuration and better cost performance). Judging from the recommended price of the models, the relatively low price of the 1.8L model will also sell better.

As a latecomer, Xuanlang has certain advantages in terms of configuration performance. In terms of driving experience, the power performance of the Xuanlang 1.8L model is basically sufficient, and there is no problem in daily driving, but the power performance when overtaking is not as good as expected. If you drive with a calm mind, its performance is still acceptable.

The stiffer suspension can provide better lateral support for the car body, which makes the driver more confident when taking turns quickly. However, the current 1.8L models are not equipped with a body stability control system. I hope the manufacturer can add this configuration in future modifications or make it an optional feature.
