Some netizens asked us about modern leadership. When I heard "Leading", I was confused at first, and I haven't paid attention to this car for a long time. I also checked the sales performance of the leading group in recent months, and the monthly sales exceeded 10,000. In the cold winter of the auto market, it is very rare for a Korean brand to sell more than 10,000 yuan, which also made me interested in this car. So, I found a new leader who had just undergone a small change and conducted a deep test drive.
Three advantages
First, the appearance is durable.
Led by the fourth generation Elantra, it was listed on 20 16. I test-drive a slightly modified model of 20 19. Compared with section 20 16, the shape has little change from the outside to the inside. Although the 20 19 model is still the same, until today, this appearance is still eye-catching.
The front face is designed with a large and medium net, with the C-shaped shape on both sides of the upper bumper, the slip-back body and the upturned "duckling tail", which makes this car full of sports.
Second, the configuration is rich.
Model I test-drives the leading 1.5L? CVT intelligent elite type, the guide price is 1 1.98 million, and the price of bare car at the terminal is less than 1 10,000. In this car, it is equipped with automatic headlights, 17-inch rims, 8-inch central control screen, reversing image, rear car radar, start-stop system, electric sunroof, leather steering wheel, seats and so on. And the configuration is quite rich.
In competing products of the same level, the leading configuration is often more abundant than the models of the same price.
Third, the chassis is good.
When the car faces a small bump, it will filter very calmly. When the vehicle passes through a big bump or speed bump, it can show some toughness, support, and no lack of buffer, reflecting a certain texture.
At the same time, in the event of an emergency lane change, the chassis responds more actively, and with the steering wheel that rotates directly upwards, there is a certain flexibility for the leader to drive through the traffic.
Generally speaking, a car at this price and a chassis with such performance will be a little unexpected.
3 slot points
First, the interior design is outdated.
The appearance of the protagonist is more attractive, but the interior modeling is the product of the last era today, which is somewhat outdated.
Second, have you forgotten this configuration?
As mentioned above, the overall performance of the leading configuration is good, but the steering wheel can only be adjusted in two directions, and the front and rear adjustment is not supported. So some people will find it more difficult to find a comfortable driving position.
Third, the seats and rear space need to be improved.
The fit of the front seats is not particularly good. The waist of the seat protrudes a little outward, which will push the back and make it uncomfortable to ride for a long time. The length of the rear seat cushion is moderate, but the cushion is thin, which will affect the ride comfort. Then there is the head space in the back row. My colleague is 1.78 meters tall, sitting in the back row, almost on his head.
Throttle response is good
The above explains the driving experience of this car. In the power part, the car I test-drive is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, which has enough power. At the same time, the throttle response is more sensitive, not as fast as some Japanese cars. However, the throttle response is good in the starting stage and the rapid acceleration stage.
In addition, the test drive model is equipped with CVT gearbox, which will have the feeling of simulating shifting action, and the whole operation process is relatively smooth.
Say a few last words.
At present, many models of the same class as Atom, such as Yinglang, Luze, Lingpai and Fox, have been replaced by three-cylinder engines, and Atom is becoming one of the few joint venture brand models that continue to be equipped with four-cylinder engines, which is also a point that many consumers value. At the same time, it is ok to lead the overall strength of their products, and many users are finally willing to pay for this car.
