At present, the competition in the compact SUV market is extremely fierce, and the market capacity is almost saturated. Among the domestic compact SUVs sold, GAC Chuanqi GS4 promoted the first echelon of this level with high cost performance, but with the competition in this level of market, the more More and more opponents are constantly evolving and becoming more aggressive. At the beginning of this year, the new AX7, a heavyweight model of Dongfeng Fengshen, arrived at the company. The whole system was equipped with turbocharged power. The exterior interior was upgraded and the price was more generous, which caused tremendous pressure on the GS4.
â—Price - the new AX7 and GS4 entry-level pricing are basically the same
The new AX7 has a total of 1.4T, 1.4TD, 1.6T power, the entry-level model is equipped with 1.4T + 5MT power combination, manual aggressive (89,800), manual elite (99,800), manual luxury ( 10.68 million) three specifications.
Chuanqi GS4's last annual change is still in November 2016, there are a total of 1.3T and 1.5T power to choose from, the entry level is equipped with 1.3T+5MT power combination, manual comfort (99,800), manual elite ( 10.88 million), manual luxury (117,800).
This time we chose the same price of 99,800 models for comparison, to see who is the king of 100,000 SUV price?
â— Appearance - the new AX7 is more stylish, GS4 is slightly outdated
The new AX7 is a new model launched in January 2018. Compared to the GS4, the appearance of the new AX7 is also more obvious. The front face design leads the trend of the times, and the front headlights have been redesigned with sharp edges and masculines. The larger size of the grille and the more sturdy chrome trim make the new AX7 even more powerful.
The new AX7 taillights are also slightly different from the old ones. In addition, the rear end adds a chrome-plated trim that blends into the taillights, adding a layered feel to the rear. The AEOLUS logo on the rear of the car also enhances the brand recognition of the Dongfeng Fengshen car, which is more personal than the Shuangfeiyan logo.
The GS4 still maintains the design of the old model. From the point of view of sincerity, the GS4, which has not been officially redesigned for a long time, is rather scarce. In contrast, the GS4 is more neutral than the new AX7, while the new AX7 masculine shape is more suitable for young male users.
â— Space - the new AX7 size wins GS4
The new AX7 has a body length of 4,696 mm, which is 186 mm longer than the GS4, and the wheelbase is also 2712 mm, which is 62 mm longer than the GS4. Therefore, the new AX7 has sufficient legroom, especially the rear space is more abundant than the GS4. In addition, the AX7 also has a flat rear floor and a rear air conditioning vent that the GS4 does not have at all, which brings the rear-seat experience of the vehicle to a new level.
Not only that, in terms of the luggage compartment volume, the new AX7 is also a winning gesture against the GS4. Even in the case of not rearranging the rear seats, the luggage compartment is 115L larger than the GS4, and if the rear seats are down The maximum can reach 1572L, and the practicality once again leads the GS4.
Both the GS4 and the new AX7 have their own appearances, but overall, the AX7 will be able to pass the GS4 without any help.
â—Interior - the new AX7 material is more sincere
The new AX7 is much better than the GS4 in terms of interior details. Whether it is the coverage of a large area of ​​all-soft materials or the richness of the configuration at the same price, the AX7 is more luxurious than the GS4...
The interior of the Chuanqi GS4 is almost the same as the exterior. The AX7 has been completely redesigned with an instrument panel and is equipped with an 8-inch large screen, which is full of texture. The GS4 is a shabby display of all-hard plastic interiors and small black-and-white screens at this price point.
â— Configuration - new AX7 configuration is more abundant
From the perspective of safety configuration, the new AX7 is equipped with ESC body electronic stability control system, TCS traction control system, tire pressure monitoring system, rear reversing radar and so on. In addition, the AX7 at the same price is equipped with four airbags. In contrast to the GS4, in addition to the most basic configuration such as dual airbags + ABS, the GS4 is clearly at a disadvantage in terms of security configuration.
Let's take a look at some driver assistance configurations. The AX7 is equipped with an HSA ramp start assist system, fixed speed cruise, automatic start and stop and reversing images that the GS4 does not have.
For everyday functions and external configuration, the new AX7 comes standard with a electric sunroof and roof rack, and the new AX7 has an 18-inch aluminum alloy rim larger than the GS4.
In terms of comfort configuration, the richness of the new AX7 is even more so that the people who eat melons are shocked by the chin. Whether it is the leather seat of the PU fabric, the rear central armrest and the rear cup holder, plus the rear air conditioning vents that have been previously mentioned, the interior feel is greatly improved. In addition, in the multimedia configuration, the new AX7 is equipped with an 8-inch large screen, with Bluetooth, mobile phone interconnection and other functions, while the GS4 multimedia function is blank.
Look at the lighting configuration of the new AX7 and GS4. Both cars are equipped with halogen headlights. The new AX7 provides LED daytime running lights and front fog lights. Although the same domestic compact SUV, the price is within 100,000 yuan, but at the configuration level, AX7 has an absolute lead.
â—Power - at the same level
In terms of power parameters, the new AX7 uses an all-aluminum engine for lighter weight, while the GS4 uses a cast iron engine with an aluminum cylinder head.
In addition, in terms of fuel consumption performance, the measured fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the new AX7 is 7.3L; while the GS4 is smaller and lighter, the actual fuel consumption is as high as 9L.
â— Summary and purchase recommendation
Through the comparison we have just made on the two models, it can be clearly seen that on the 100,000 level, the new AX7 can be said to form a completely crushed situation for the GS4. The new AX7 not only has a larger body size, a more comfortable ride experience, but also a comprehensive transcendence of the GS4. Therefore, for those consumers who pay special attention to cost performance, the new AX7 is undoubtedly their preferred model.
