Tires on Soueast DX7 Prime (Соуеаст)

The mid-size Soueast DX7 Prime crossover was present in the Chinese brand's production lineup from 2018 to 2020. The car was a modernized version of the standard DX7 of 2015, differing in a higher level of equipment and modern electronic systems. At the same time, its development coincided with a period of active cooperation with Mitsubishi, which led to the presence of a significant number of components from the Japanese brand. The Italian atelier Pininfarina was responsible for the development of the interior, which became another strong point.

Evolution of the standard DX7

Despite using the same platform as the previous model, the Prime version stood out significantly due to its body design. The front part became more aggressive due to a new radiator grille, narrower LED optics, and a modified front bumper with large air intakes. The rear part also underwent modernization: different lights appeared, the lighting graphics were redesigned, and a new bumper with decorative exhaust pipes was added.

The difference between the two cars was even greater inside. First and foremost, in terms of the quality of the interior materials and the quality of the cabin assembly. The design of the front console was revised, the amount of sound insulation increased, and the plastic became mostly soft to the touch. In the top trim level, this was complemented by a two-tone interior.

Japanese and other technology

Most of the instances were released with a Mitsubishi 4A95T 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. This unit produced 156 horsepower and 215 Nm of torque. An alternative to it was a 1.8-liter gasoline "four" with an output of 197 horsepower and 285 Nm. In the base versions, the engines were combined with a 6-speed manual transmission, but most sales were of crossovers with a 6-speed "robot" with two clutches. This transmission was also present in the predecessor, but here a modified version was used with smoother gear shifts and less delay when starting from a standstill.

In terms of the chassis, the crossover was virtually indistinguishable from the standard DX7. The front used "MacPherson" struts, and the rear used a multi-link scheme. The settings were focused on smooth ride, allowing the model to provide a high level of comfort on poor roads. The electric power steering was also retuned relative to the "base". The "Prime" version became more responsive to steering wheel deflections on the highway, although the emphasis was still on ease of handling in urban mode.

Interior and equipment

It was the cabin that became one of the main differences. The central console received a completely new architecture with a vertically oriented 10-inch multimedia display. In the top trim level, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster was used. The multimedia system offered cameras with a 360-degree view, satellite navigation, wireless smartphone connectivity, and voice control. In addition to this, the equipment included a 2-zone climate control system, an electric driver's seat, a panoramic roof, and an electric tailgate. It's also worth noting the presence of a complex of electronic assistants - a lane-keeping system, "blind" spot control, and automatic braking. The seats stood out with developed lateral support, combined with ergonomics with a lower seating position, which combined with soft padding, providing more comfort during long trips.

Road behavior and operation features

Despite the presence of turbocharged gasoline engines in the power range, this crossover cannot be attributed to sports models. Such power units provided, first and foremost, traction in the middle range, allowing the tachometer needle not to be driven to the "red" zone. It's worth adding a long wheelbase and relatively "soft" suspension settings, which provided the car with a comfortable ride at high speed.

The advantage of the Prime version was the high level of equipment already in the medium trim levels. If the standard DX7 was perceived rather as an inexpensive practical crossover, then this option made a noticeable step towards premium models. This is especially noticeable in terms of interior quality, the level of multimedia capabilities, and the number of electronic assistants.

The standard equipment implied the use of 18- and 19-inch disks, along with tires in the size of 235/55 and 235/50, respectively. Given the relatively soft suspension and the model's focus on comfort, such components have a significant impact on the smoothness of the ride and the level of noise. And the assortment of the "Mosavtoshina" online store allows you to choose the optimal options, both for urban use and for long trips.
