In terms of shape, the front of Feng Shen Haoji adopts a new design language, with a large mouth grille decorated with high-gloss straight waterfall chrome strips, which has a visual impact; the two sides of the headlight cluster adopt a split shape, and the daytime running lights have a flat shape and are connected by black trim plates, effectively stretching the horizontal visual width of the front face; the smoked high and low beams are located in the inflow slot area on both sides of the grille, which looks more individual and is also a very popular design style. It is a very popular design style at present.

As a compact SUV, the rear legroom of the Haoji is at the level of this class, and a passenger of 1 meter 7 meters tall has more than 3 fists of legroom left in the rear, so there is no problem to meet the daily family needs.
In terms of configuration, the Haoji is equipped with reverse radar, panoramic view, automatic parking, uphill assist, steep hill descent, panoramic sunroof, electric trunk, keyless entry, one-touch start, power-adjustable front seats, automatic LED headlights, automatic wipers, manual (automatic) air conditioning and rear air vents as standard.

This powertrain has exceeded the mainstream 2.0T engine in terms of parameters, compared to the independent brand CS75 PLUS, Star Yue L, and Haval H6 in terms of parameters and fuel consumption have obvious advantages, but the price is in the same range, the purchase of the car does not have to spend more money, the later cost of the car is also lower.
Thanks to the hybrid system, Haoji is driven by an electric motor in starting, low speed, and traffic jam conditions, avoiding the working condition of poor fuel economy due to inefficient engine work; when accelerating sharply, the electric motor assists power, and the engine saves fuel without a burden; when braking, releasing the throttle and going downhill, it executes kinetic energy recovery, and energy is used again to reduce energy consumption; when driving at a uniform speed, the engine reserves electric energy to charge the battery and improve power. Officially, the overall fuel consumption level of the Haoji Mach Twin Engine Hybrid is more than 50% more energy efficient than that of the fuel car, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.8L/100km.

Overall, the Feng Shen Haoji is a model with a strong sense of momentum and a simple but technological interior; the performance in terms of space is also up to the level of a medium-sized SUV, and there is no problem in meeting the daily household needs.
The configuration can be described as generous, reaching the mainstream level of this price range of independent brands, active safety configuration and comfort configuration are provided in abundance.
