Bitauto original In the past, it was basically impossible to buy a very sporty and fashionable car for 100,000 yuan. Because these performance cars are monopolized by luxury or joint venture brands, and they are expensive. However, in recent years, as independent brands have gradually become stronger, many distinctive cars have appeared on the market. These models all have a common feature, which is outstanding sports style. Among them is the Binrui COOL launched by Geely not long ago. Let’s take a look at how to choose it compared with the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard on the market.

Let’s take a look at the price first. Geely Binrui COOL is based on Binrui and has launched a total of 3 models with a price range of 94,800-109,800 yuan. This time I selected its top model Thunder Edition for comparison, with a guide price of 109,800 yuan. However, Binrui COOL offers optional packages. Taking the top model as an example, you can choose a racing equipment package. The optional fee is 2,500 yuan, which brings the bare car price to 112,300 yuan.

The Shadow Leopard is a brand new product based on the GPMA architecture R platform. It has a total of 6 models to choose from, with a price range of 98,300-136,800 yuan. In order to make the comparison fair, we chose the Shadow Leopard J11 version, which is relatively close in price. The guide price is 108,000 yuan, and the price difference between the two cars is 4,300 yuan.

Appearance comparison: mainly sports style

In terms of appearance, the sports style of the two cars is very outstanding. Compared with the Binrui COOL model, with a series of optional sports packages, the overall shape is more exaggerated and radical. The Trumpchi Shadow Leopard is obviously more low-key, perhaps taking into account the aesthetics of some home users, so the style is a little more conservative, but the sporty feel is not bad at all. Of course, its 2022 models also have a track version available, which can also satisfy friends who like to pursue the ultimate sports style.

In terms of body size, both cars belong to the category of compact cars. Binrui COOL is ahead of Yingbao in terms of length and height, while Yingbao is slightly better in width and wheelbase, and they are basically about 50-50 apart.

Compared with the front of the car, the rear of Binrui COOL is more eye-catching. Most visible places have been blackened, including large spoilers, wheels, integrated taillights and two exhaust rows on both sides. trachea. Of course, the overall momentum of the Shadow Leopard is still there. Compared with ordinary family cars, its appearance is also online.

Interior comparison: both adopt dual-screen design

In terms of interiors, both cars adopt the now popular dual-screen design, which is simple yet technological. It is worth mentioning that both cars are good at using contrasting color elements to highlight the sporty atmosphere of the interior. For example, Binrui COOL adds orange decoration to the center console, and Shadow Leopard uses yellow seat splicing material.

In terms of interior configuration, the basic configuration of both cars is rich enough. Relatively speaking, in terms of driving assistance configuration, Binrui COOL is richer, with additional functions such as full-speed adaptive cruise and 360 panoramic imaging. The Shadow Leopard is equipped with cruise control and a reversing camera, and its basic configuration is not low. At the same time, there is also a sensor trunk and rain-sensing wipers, which are also some outstanding features.

Power comparison: both are 1.5T+7DCT

In terms of power, Binrui COOL uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 133kW and a maximum torque of 290N·m, matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. The power of the Shadow Leopard is the same. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 270N·m, which is relatively close to the Binrui COOL. It is also matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

Full text summary: It can be said that it is very rare for a model over 100,000 yuan to have such an outstanding sporty appearance. As for the configuration, we can also see that the two cars have no obvious shortcomings. For many young people, it can completely satisfy the freshness you want.

As far as the comparison between the two cars is concerned, Binrui COOL is more powerful in terms of appearance and interior technology configuration. The Shadow Leopard has a more balanced performance and is also equipped with a rear multi-link independent suspension, a configuration that affects handling. In theory, it will have an advantage over the Binrui COOL. Therefore, both cars have their own outstanding features. If you want a high return rate and rich technological configurations, then Binrui COOL is recommended. And if you don’t like to be too ostentatious and pursue a balanced configuration, then Shadow Leopard is a good choice.
