The latest masterpiece from Mercedes-Benz + BYD comes standard with 8 airbags. Will this handsome SUV make you excited?

The styling design of Denza by Mercedes-Benz" small logo shows its design source and inspiration from Mercedes-Benz designers.

However, the paint thickness and gap width of Denza If it can be improved, it will definitely be helpful to improve the external texture of DENZA X.

The length, width and height of Denza Cars in its class can be considered to be in the mainstream, laying a certain foundation for its space performance.

Summary: Generally speaking, the rounded shape design of Denza X is a bit avant-garde and exceeds the aesthetic concepts of ordinary consumers.

In terms of mechanical metal workmanship, the performance of Densa X is somewhat unsatisfactory, but if it can be improved, it can add some points to the overall appearance quality of Densa X.

Summary: Denza X successfully combines the design elements of Mercedes-Benz and BYD. The simple design style reveals a classical beauty blended with technology.

At the configuration level, Denza X has given consumers a satisfactory answer in four aspects: safety, driving assistance, comfort, and vehicle performance.

In particular, the entire series comes standard with eight airbags, lane departure warning, traffic sign recognition function, and active braking/safety system, which is difficult for many models of the same class to achieve.

Summary: The rich configuration of Denza X proves that Denza X is well aware of the importance that domestic consumers place on configuration when buying a car. The bottom-line decentralization of various safety, comfort, and entertainment configurations illustrates its ambition to crush models of the same class in terms of configuration.

Summary: As a seven-seater model, Denza For emergency use.

However, it has abundant storage space, and because the second and third rows of seats support folding down proportionally, the trunk space is highly expandable. It is worth mentioning that the trunk also has electric and sensor opening functions, which is very practical.

The test model is the Denza X 2020 PHEV sports version, which is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and is matched with a 6AT gearbox. The measured braking distance from 100-0km/h is 38.4m, which ranks among the best in its class.

Of course, the Brembo racing-grade braking system of DENZA X (including front six-piston brake calipers + perforated ventilated brake discs) and Continental CS35 tires play a major role in achieving such results.

However, due to the vehicle battery losing power in the second half of this test, the zero-to-100 acceleration test in EV mode was unable to be completed (the official result was 4.7 seconds), and it could only be done in power loss mode. Accelerated testing.

After testing, in the power-depletion mode, its acceleration from 0 to 100 seconds was 9.1 seconds. This result is not outstanding, but it is not a problem to speed up and overtake in daily traffic.

During the actual test drive process, I felt a sense of déjà vu when I first drove this car. Denza X seems to continue BYD Tang DM’s driving logic of “fuel first, then electric power”. The starting and speed-up process of Denza

In addition to EV and HEV driving modes, the Denza X PHEV version also has Eco, Sport, sand, muddy ground/rutted ground, snow/gravel/grassland) options.

In different driving environments, different people can choose according to their own styles, and the options are very diverse. Among them, in the Sport mode, the power output continues to be explosive, and it can kill small steel cannon models such as the Golf R with ease.

Secondly, the performance is also quite distinctive in terms of steering adjustment. It uses an electric power steering system. The steering wheel adjustment is very linear and light, making it easy to operate even for a female driver.

Interestingly, in Sport mode, the steering wheel of Denza X sinks a little, the steering force required for steering control increases, and the steering sensitivity and precision are higher.

On the other hand, although Densa X and BYD Tang DM are both based on BYD's e platform and DM3.0 architecture, the chassis of Densa X is comfortable because it is backed by Mercedes-Benz. Sex is even better.

Thanks to the blessing of the FSD adaptive electronically controlled adjustable damping shock absorber, when passing through continuous speed bumps and potholes, the shock absorber reduces the damping to offset the vibration and ensure riding comfort. .

On the contrary, through some low-frequency discontinuous vibration zones, the shock absorber will increase damping and improve the vehicle's handling performance. But even with the support of FSD adaptive electronically controlled shock absorbers, when passing through large potholes, you can still clearly feel that the car body is sinking.

On the other hand, due to the soft chassis and suspension adjustment, the body has obvious roll when cornering rapidly and lacks a certain sense of balance; while during sudden braking, the body has obvious forward lean. Nodding phenomenon.

Whether a car is comfortable to sit in and whether the noise is properly controlled has an impact that cannot be ignored, but Denza X does not seem to be aware of this.

According to the test, the noise performance of Denza X at all speeds exceeded the average results of the same level of vehicles, and the performance needs to be improved.

Remarks: Because in power-depletion mode, it takes 9.1 seconds for Denza However, when the battery is fully charged, the actual experience is that its power is explosive. Combined with the official acceleration score of 4.7s, the professor gave it a full score of 4 points in terms of power performance.

Summary: Generally speaking, Denza X has excellent driving control, top-notch power performance, and outstanding fuel economy. The chassis, suspension and steering adjustment are distinctive, the handling is strong, and there are a variety of driving modes for users to choose from. The only shortcoming is that the level of sound insulation and noise reduction needs to be improved.

Finally, as a digression, according to relevant news, Shenzhen allocates 10,000 hybrid electric car quotas to individuals for the registration of newly purchased vehicles, but the purchased vehicles must be registered in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s New Energy Vehicle Promote and apply a catalog of recommended models with a pure electric range of more than 80km, and Denza X happens to comply with this policy. So, netizens who are willing to buy a car in Shenzhen, you get the idea.
