"Make pickup trucks popular" is the slogan of the Great Wall gun cross-country pickup truck. In Auto-First's view, the popularization of pickup trucks cannot be separated from two aspects, one is policy orientation; The second is product strength. First of all, at the policy-oriented level, at present, a large number of cities in China have lifted restrictions on pickup trucks, but at the same time, some cities have increased restrictions on pickup trucks, such as Beijing, so the future of pickup trucks at the policy-oriented level is still uncertain. In this case, the product strength is bound to be the key to make the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck shout out "Let the pickup truck be popular". Where does the confidence of the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck come from? A few days ago, Auto-First tested this car in Shangri-La.
In the same period of test drive, the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck officially met with consumers, and the new car * * * launched three models, of which the advanced four-wheel drive version has a guide price of 654.38+069.8 million yuan; The guide price of four-wheel drive with high version is 65.38+07.98 million yuan; Four-wheel drive limited edition guide price 199800. Only from the price point of view, the Great Wall Cannon off-road pickup truck not only set a new high for the Great Wall pickup truck, but also ranked first in the domestic pickup truck price (including independent brands and joint venture brands). The competitors of the Great Wall Cannon off-road pickup truck are also very clear, including Nissan Navarra, Isuzu D-MAX, Datong T70 and other models.
It is worth mentioning that at present, this kind of domestic high-end pickup truck has not popularized pickup trucks, and even its performance is still relatively low. After all, it is too expensive to treat them as tool cars, but it is too simple to treat them as "toy cars". According to the name of the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck, it is obvious that this is a "toy car", a car that represents poetry and distance, but does it have the strength?
Independent modification effect
In fact, the first car that Auto-First drove was the Great Wall pickup truck, which I believe many domestic consumers do. Born in 1996, the Great Wall Lupika is over half of the age of 90, and its high cost performance makes it not only a well-known tool car, but also the first choice for many driving schools. It is precisely because of Deere, who is senile in the driving school, that Auto-First has a certain misunderstanding about domestic pickups-all domestic pickups are Laki. When you see this Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck, you will feel slapped in the face instantly, because this Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck will make consumers shout "really fragrant" at a glance.
As I said just now, the Great Wall cannon cross-country pickup truck is a man's "toy", and on it, it completely shows the true colors of a "toy car". Undeniably, Navarra and D-MAX simply can't lift their heads in front of it, even the high-end pickup Ford F 150 and Toyota's plain car are ashamed. It's really "fried"
Although it comes from the same chassis as the Great Wall gun pickup truck and commercial pickup truck and adopts a similar outline, the appearance of the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck is more domineering. This test drive car adopts red color matching, and the black surrounding at the bottom greatly enhances the motor genes of the whole car.
In addition, with the support of steel front bumper, electric winch, wading hose, K-MAN nitrogen shock absorber and large-area metal lower fender, you can't imagine that this is an original car anyway. If you buy it, then the modification does not exist at all, because the "modified style" is enough.
It is worth mentioning that the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck originally came with at tires, the limited edition model used Bailuchi K02 tires, and the other two models used Cooper Finder AT3 tires, which have strong grip and can cope with gravel and muddy roads more calmly, while the 65,438+08 inch blackened wheels are also very wild.
In the position of the container, the off-road pickup truck of Great Wall Gun provides a thick anti-roll frame, which is painted black, has great visual impact and has a small pedal built in the tailgate with good damping, which is very practical.
In terms of body size, the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck is 5437mm long, 1.958mm wide, 1.893mm high and 3230mm wheelbase, which belongs to the mainstream level of market segments. Although it lost to the imported high-end pickup truck, the original factory's own modification effect made this car domineering.
Compared with the appearance, the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck has returned to the normal state in the interior, but the normal state here refers to the normal state of the traditional independent brand SUV, not the pickup truck model. No matter a large number of soft bags, LCD instrument panels and electronic gear bars, they are all equipped with new cars, and the space can fully meet the needs of five adults. However, as a common problem of pickup truck models, it is inevitable that the rear backrest will be straight.
On the static side, the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck is still very competitive in general. Although compared with Navarra and D-MAX, there is a lack of endorsement of joint venture brands, it can be seen that the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck has invested enough energy and financial resources in both design and materials, so although the price is not low, the money is spent on the cutting edge. If you buy a simple pickup truck and modify it yourself later, the price may really not come down, let alone waste financial resources in the annual inspection.
There can be "three locks" under 200 thousand
It's not enough to have good clothes. After all, no car owner who buys the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck will always drive this car on the paved road. Nature is the paradise of this "big toy", otherwise this dress will be blind.
The Great Wall Gun off-road pickup truck uses a 2.0T engine, with maximum power 190 HP and peak torque of 360 Nm. Compared with the 2.0T engine on Haval H9, the power parameters are slightly insufficient, but they can basically meet daily use.
In terms of gearbox, the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck can be said to be the best. With ZF 8AT gearbox, both ride comfort and reliability are remarkable.
In addition, the four-wheel drive system can not be absent, but I believe that consumers who know Great Wall Motor have a certain understanding. Except Haval H5, the four-wheel drive mechanisms of all four-wheel drive models are multi-plate clutch structures, and this Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck is no exception. Although compared with the part-time four-wheel drive system adopted by Navarra and D-MAX, this four-wheel drive system seems to be slightly urbanized, but it is not absolute.
The Great Wall Cannon off-road pickup truck also provides a set of all-terrain driving modes, including: economy, Peugeot, sports, snow, mud, sand and 4L, and supports crawling mode, steep slope mitigation, tank turning and off-road expert mode. In different modes, the throttle, steering and power distribution of the vehicle will be different.
It is worth mentioning that since the listing of Haval H9, "three locks" have become the focus of public discussion. Similarly, the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck also uses "three locks". Specifically, the central differential lock is a multi-plate clutch mechanism, and the front and rear axle differential locks are Eaton electronic control differential locks. It should be noted that these "three locks" are not as hard as the four-wheel drive structure, but the positioning of the Great Wall Gun off-road pickup truck is not rock climbing, but crossing, so it is enough to deal with it.
It should be noted that even if nature is beautiful, it still needs to return to the daily necessities. In this case, the driving experience of this "deeply modified" Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck on the paved road will inevitably worry consumers. But it turns out that it still has good comfort.
For the comfort performance of the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck, Auto-First believes that there are three main points:
First of all, the 8AT gearbox has outstanding performance and the shifting process is very smooth. Whether it is the upshift performance during normal driving or the downshift feeling during sudden acceleration, the power connection is smooth and will not make the driver feel uncomfortable. This is also the charm of this gearbox.
Secondly, in terms of chassis suspension, the Great Wall gun cross-country pickup truck does not use the common rear leaf spring suspension at the same level, but uses the independent suspension combination of front double wishbone and rear multi-link, and is equipped with K-MAN nitrogen shock absorber, so the ride in the car is very comfortable, even if AT tires with poor comfort are used.
Finally, when Auto-First saw the wading throat of a new car, the first thought was that as long as the driving skills were excellent, the wading depth of this car would reach the deepest in its class, but then it was thought that this wading throat was bound to have a great impact on NVH performance when driving at high speed. But through experience, at the speed of 80km/h, the performance of wind noise is actually beyond imagination. It seems that the rounded wading throat design and good assembly technology have achieved remarkable results.
Steam potential viewpoint
Previously, the domestic pickup truck market was dominated by two forces: domestic models made in Tai Su and imported models that were too expensive, which made pickup trucks unacceptable to most consumers. In contrast, the Great Wall gun off-road pickup truck has obviously achieved the most balanced price, configuration and face value. Its arrival not only makes the market segment full of vitality, but also makes many consumers who are ready to buy SUV models tempted. "Make pickup trucks popular" It really has this strength.
