Speaking of MAN, a German brand, the first thing that comes to mind is its heavy commercial vehicle. In the field of heavy trucks and other vehicles, it has always been the dominant level, and the RV modified by MAN chassis is also synonymous with the ultimate performance. However, at the beginning of 20 17, Mann officially launched the brand's first 3-5 ton light commercial vehicle-TGE van.
Sharp-eyed riders may have seen the clue, and the shape of the whole vehicle is very similar to that of Volkswagen Crafter. In fact, based on the integration of the group's resources, this TGE is the Volkswagen Crafter model produced by OEM. In addition to the appearance, the body size and power system are the same as the Volkswagen van, which can be said to be two twin models.
In terms of safety configuration, TGE listed the emergency brake assist system as standard. The system can provide low-speed braking assistance in urban areas. When the driver's attention is not focused, the vehicle can be completely braked in an emergency. In addition, it also provides reversing images, adaptive cruise, driver detection and braking system to prevent secondary collision. , improve driving safety.
After introducing the chassis, let's take a look at the design of this RV. The first is a relatively compact short-axle model. Although it is called a short-axle model, the length of the car has reached 6840mm, which exceeds the requirement of Blue Brand C within 6 meters in China. The body is painted with dark gray elves, giving people a rather calm and exquisite feeling.
The design of the short shaft can carry four people, and all the seats are covered with suede for a better riding experience. The front and rear drive rotates backward, forming a meeting area with the back row, which is quite suitable for dining and leisure with the folding table. The log-colored floor draws inspiration from yacht design, which is very textured as a whole, and the grade of the whole vehicle has improved a lot.
A semi-open kitchen is designed in the middle door area of the car, which can cook some simple meals during camping. At the bottom of the cabinet is a drawer-type car refrigerator with a folding console on it. The cabinet is embedded with a vegetable washing pool and a two-position induction cooker, and the top hanging cabinet is used to store kitchen utensils, which basically meets the use. The opposite position is an independent toilet in the car, equipped with an independent sink, shower system and fixed toilet. There is no problem with emergency toilet and shower.
Looking back, it was a raised double bed, which transformed the space on the bed into a spacious garage under the bed. The bed can not only be used by 2-3 people, but also be pushed up and moved to both sides, so that the middle of the garage can reach the roof directly and provide more space for taller goods. Because the vertical space of the bed is small, a large skylight is set on the roof, and small ventilation window is opened on both sides, which reduces the sense of depression.
Next, let's look at the long axis model. In terms of appearance, we added dynamic orange flowers to make the 7390mm body look less bulky. The layout of the car has also been changed to a single passenger seat, and the color matching adopts a double color matching design, which echoes the color matching of the floor.
In addition to adding a TV and changing the refrigerator with a larger volume, the space inside the car does not seem to have expanded. In fact, all the extra space is reserved for the garage, which can accommodate up to three motorcycles.
Both models are equipped with a 2.0TDI diesel twin-turbo engine with maximum horsepower 177Ps. The transmission system is matched with 8-speed automatic gearbox and 4*4 all-wheel drive. The power configuration is the same, including 3000W inverter, 40A charger, two lithium iron phosphate batteries 100Ah, 280W solar panel, and Truma overhead air conditioning oil, warm air and hot water integrated machine.
In terms of selling price, the short-axis model is 86,000 euros, and the long-axis model is 95,000 euros, which is about 680,000-750,000 yuan. Do you think this design is practical?
