In 50 years, people have reached the age of knowing their destiny. 50 years, for a pot of old wine, it is already an old wine. What is the development of a car for 50 years? I think it's a surprise full of details, just like the Land Rover Range Rover gave me this feeling.

No product is easy to leave a historical mark. Land Rover Range Rover should have a place among the iconic models in the car. 1970, Land Rover Range Rover is the first full-time four-wheel drive model. 1989, Land Rover Range Rover was the first four-wheel drive vehicle equipped with ABS. 1992, Land Rover Range Rover is the first four-wheel drive with electronic stability system and electronic suspension system. 20 12 Land Rover Range Rover is the first car with aluminum alloy structure. Land Rover Range Rover is also the first car on display at the Louvre in Paris. Land Rover Range Rover also won the Paris-Dakar Rally twice.

The Land Rover Range Rover also developed the Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition, Range Rover Star Pulse,? Range Rover Shen Xing and other models, but Land Rover Range Rover has always been the flagship model of the Land Rover brand. If we refine the history of Range Rover and every technological innovation, it will be enough for us to talk for one night. Today, by testing Land Rover Range Rover and respecting the extended version of Genesis, let's see what surprises it can bring us.

# The highlight should start with enjoyment.

Just like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Land Rover Range Rover of this test drive is known as Genesis Extended Edition, which sells for nearly 2 million yuan. The most important thing is that it can bring you those extremely luxurious enjoyment problems.

1 air suspension blessing? A "bad road" can be as smooth as shoes.

Among the Land Rover models with air suspension that I have contacted, both the Land Rover Range Rover Sport Edition and the new generation Land Rover Defender show quite obvious air suspension travel, and the overall performance is better than the air suspension on Audi Q8. As can be seen from the following figure, the span from the lowest suspension stroke to the highest suspension stroke is quite obvious, and the distance from the wheel cover to the tire is up to two punches.

It is precisely because of this air suspension that the Range Rover of this test drive can have a variety of performances in the test drive of many road conditions. Higher body posture can not only deal with various road conditions, but also take into account the comfort of the whole vehicle. The vibration filtering effect on unpaved pavement is also quite in place. When passing through a large pothole, the expansion and rebound effect and rebound speed of the shock absorber have a sense of buffering and damping, and you won't feel stiff bumps.

In addition, I don't know if it is to win higher passability. The Range Rover is not equipped with an electric pedal. The height of the air suspension will be lowered only when the vehicle door is opened in comfort mode, but in high-lift mode, the suspension height will not be lowered even if the vehicle is closed. Of course, this will only happen in rare cases. After all, you can't drive rock climbing mode when driving on city roads.

② Is the audio-visual configuration complete enough? Sitting in the back row just wants to sleep

The latest family interior looks much more luxurious than the old ones. Basically, all the control buttons are integrated in the big screen, and the materials used are higher. Soft materials are used in all the places touched by hands in the car. The center console and door panel wrapped in leather are excellent in workmanship, with delicate stitches and solid materials.

The 10.2 inch touch multimedia screen in the middle is the same model of Jaguar Land Rover, which supports different adjustments from multiple angles. The advantage of this is that drivers at different heights can try to avoid reflection. The mainstream Carplay and CarLife interconnection systems can be found in this in-vehicle system, which also meets the needs of different mobile phone systems.

The big screen below concentrates all related functions such as air conditioning, seats and vehicle settings. The knobs on the left and right sides can also be used as quick control knobs, which can quickly operate the functions of seat heating, ventilation and massage. At the same time, on this screen, the driver can switch independently according to different road conditions, and the computer will also adjust the power distribution, chassis height, four-wheel drive performance and so on according to road conditions.

In order to increase the comfort of users, the seats of Land Rover Range Rover include the memory function of drivers and passengers, and a "hot stone" massage seat is optional. The massage chair has 25 kinds of relaxing massage items such as rolling and pulse mode, which can greatly alleviate the fatigue of long-distance travel. In addition, Land Rover Range Rover is also equipped with multi-color atmosphere lights, automatic sunshade and ion air purifier, which further increases the travel comfort of users.

When the armrest box is opened, you can see the storage box with refrigeration function, and you can also use it to ice some drinks in summer. Coupled with the blessing of Meridian British Treasure Audio and rear entertainment system, the experience of rear passengers in audition and ride is almost unparalleled, which is like the first class treatment of an airplane.

# Hold up the scene? You can take a bad road

The brand-new 3.0T inline six-cylinder model also replaced Ford's old V6 supercharged 3.0T engine. In contrast, the layout of the straight six is more balanced, ensuring a stable power output from low speed to high speed, and the overall vibration will be lower. With the support of mechanical+turbocharging and 48V light mixing system, the new Ingrid 3.0L twin-supercharged engine has a maximum output of 400 HP, and it only takes 6.5 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h, with a top speed of 225 km/h.

The bottom spirit of the 3.0T engine can completely reassure you. Even if the self-weight of the Range Rover Extended Edition exceeds 2.5 tons, the acceleration of 6.5 seconds is enough to prove its power. The power output of this car will be very positive in the initial stage, and the response of the accelerator pedal will be more sensitive in the initial stage. Even in the economy mode, you won't feel any laziness in the power output of this car at the initial stage, and the accelerator is very heel-pedaled.

The steering of Land Rover Range Rover electric power steering is not as heavy as that of hard-core models in the past, and the overall steering sensitivity is not smart. The advantage of this is that when passing through the desert section, when the vehicle changes direction due to the special section of the tire, the "flapping" force of the steering wheel is not as painful as hydraulic pressure. Why do you say that? Because of almost the same situation, I was also "beaten" by Pajero, who was assisted by mechanical and hydraulic power.

On the basis of full-time four-wheel drive, Land Rover Range Rover is equipped with active rear electronic differential system and electronic air suspension. Topography on board? Response? The second generation intelligent all-terrain feedback adaptive system has seven modes to choose from: power, Eco, comfort, grass/gravel/snow, mire/rut and sand climbing, which can intelligently adjust the response of vehicle engine, gearbox, differential and chassis system according to road conditions, and comprehensively improve the vehicle's ability to get out of trouble. The longer suspension stroke can make the tire adhere to the road surface as much as possible when the whole vehicle passes through the cross shaft road surface, which is helpful for the whole vehicle to get out of trouble. In the face of unilateral tire slip, the active rear electronic differential system can also quickly intervene to lock the idle tire to ensure the passing performance of the whole vehicle. So this is a model that can withstand the scenes in the city and get off the construction site.

It is worth mentioning that the driving assistance of the whole vehicle is also a place that I am worried about when I go to the complex off-road section for test drive. Because the length of the vehicle reaches 5200mm and the width is 2073mm, it is difficult for the driver to master the environment around the vehicle when the vehicle passes through a narrow section. The driver assistance system can be turned on through the central control screen. At this time, you can observe the visual angle around the vehicle through the camera equipped with the whole vehicle, which is convenient for the driver to master the situation around the vehicle.

# Write at the end

When you hit the road, there is nothing to see on the road. The frequency of Land Rover Range Rover is even more frequent than that of Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Is it because it is cheap? I don't think so After the test drive, I think there is no comparability between Mercedes-Benz G-Class and Land Rover Range Rover except the price, because this Land Rover Range Rover respects the extended version of Genesis, which is undoubtedly a model that pays more attention to comfort and multi-road orientation, and it is also a model that can really survive in urban scenes and get off the construction site.
