Skoda Haorui is the production platform of Volkswagen PQ46, just like Passat. As the flagship model of Skoda brand, Gaochao Haorui will also have a refreshing performance in configuration. Fully automatic dual-zone air conditioning, seat design from the latest BETA platform, electric folding exterior rearview mirror, automatic anti-glare interior rearview mirror, pneumatic boneless wiper, green tires, EPS electric power steering system and other equipment are all available, while the upgrade equipment such as PLA parking assistance system, bi-xenon headlights with AFS follow-up steering, TV receiver and solar sunroof, which are mostly used in C-class cars such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, are also fully reflected in Gao Haorui. In terms of safety performance, the exquisite Haorui, which has reached the five-star level of E-NCAP, not only widely adopts popular laser welding and HSB high-strength body, but also is equipped with ABS anti-lock braking system +MBA mechanical brake booster +MSR engine resistance moment control system +ASR accelerated sliding adjustment, HHC ramp auxiliary control system, tire pressure monitoring system, 3-point explosion pretensioned seat belt, 6 airbags and other complete active and passive safety devices, providing meticulous safety care. It can be said that this flagship product is the best interpretation of Skoda brand's "wisdom, charm and concentration", from which we can see the ambition of Shanghai Volkswagen Skoda brand to enter the mid-to high-end automobile market.
Gaochao Haorui Power is equipped with three engines: 1.4T, 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI, matching Volkswagen's 6-speed TipTronic manual transmission. In addition, the entry-level model is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. The new car rolled off the assembly line on August 18, 2009.
Haorui, equipped with 1.4T engine, went on sale during the 20 10 Beijing Auto Show, and the price was17.19-19900. This is a low-priced version of Haorui, which makes the price of Haorui more attractive. It is equipped with a 7-speed DSG power shift. Basic data of 1.4TSI engine: maximum power 13 1 horsepower; The maximum torque is 220n·m；; ; Haorui truck weighs 1465kg, and the 7-speed DSG will play a vital role in driving stability and fuel consumption.
1, appearance: dilute the popular characteristics.
Visually, Hao Rui's figure is obviously longer than that of Magotan. The body size shows that the width and height of Haorui are slightly reduced (3 pieces), but it is much longer than Magotan in terms of vehicle length and wheelbase. Haorui's body length is 4838 mm, which is 73 mm longer than Magotan, and the wheelbase of 276 1 mm is also 52 mm longer than Magotan. The longer wheelbase and the sloping backrest behind the B-pillar on the roof naturally create sufficient rear leg and head space. The appearance of the domestic version of Haorui maintains the original style of the European version, and there is no obvious change. Slender shape, straight waistline, roof, with Skoda's unique implicit East and Europe. The air intake grille and chrome trim of different configuration models are slightly different, but overall, Haorui's image is that the details (10) are decent and dignified.
2, interior: exquisite luxury, high quality
Hao Rui's steering wheel is also very distinctive at first glance. There is a silver U-shaped decorative strip in the middle, and the central control area (9 pieces) on both sides is the same as Audi's. The color of the dashboard background light has also changed from Skoda's traditional green to a more fashionable and beautiful white background light. Haorui's audio host is basically the same as most Volkswagen navigation models. This system is not only powerful in function and operation, but also has a good reputation in the industry. Haorui's interior has two color matching styles. One is decorated with silver and decorated with gray interior. This interior looks more textured and the materials are more upscale, a bit like an Audi. The other is beige interior, decorated with peach wood, which is more warm and luxurious.
3. Space: The vertical space is too large.
Judging from the rear space of Haorui, it is larger and more spacious than Passat B5 (including Yuling and New Yu Ling) which is famous for its large space and longer wheelbase (10 seat). Compared with the Magotan on the same platform, it doesn't feel like a car of the same level. Under the coat of Haorui dignified car, there is actually an unknown "other side"-you can turn into a hatchback at any time! It is a tradition of Skoda to design the back door of a sedan as a hatchback, and so is Ming Rui and the previous generation models. The hatchback tailgate has a large opening, which has advantages in loading large items. However, if the tailgate needs to be opened and closed frequently, it is time-consuming and laborious to design an oversized hatchback. So on Haorui, Skoda's designers launched the world's first (but now it is not the only one in the world, and BMW's new 5 Series GT has a similar design) double tailgate. Under normal circumstances, the trunk lid can only be opened by pressing the trunk lid button. Haorui at this time is an ordinary car. When you want to load large items, press and hold another button on the right side of the trunk lid for about 1 sec (at this time, you will hear a slight motor sound coming from inside the trunk and the tailgate mechanism is switching), and then press the door opening button, and the trunk lid will be lifted together with the whole rear window glass. Haorui at this time is like a hatchback. This design is very easy to use and can be described as extremely ingenious. Through the rear 4/6 split folding and detachable trunk cover, Haorui's trunk capacity can be expanded from the conventional 570 liters (already huge) to 65,438+0,500 liters. It can be seen that Haorui is not only a decent car in the back seat, but also a practical "van" at any time. Super Hao Rui's spacious and comfortable driving space is also widely praised. Skoda brand's world-first double-door and double-section luggage compartment design has been well received by car owners. After all, in the mid-to high-end car market, only Super [1]b Haorui has the elegant shape of a car, which can provide practical cargo space for a five-door hatchback. Thanks to the super-long wheelbase and nearly straight roof design comparable to C-class cars, the spacious head space and leg space provided by Gaochao Haorui have obvious advantages in the same class.
4, dynamic: TSI can fight the world.
Domestic Haorui matched all TSI engines, including 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI, and the others (3 models) of these two engines have been used in Magotan. In addition, match 1.4T engine. Haorui is not equipped with Volkswagen's most advanced DSG dual-clutch gearbox like Magotan, but uses a more traditional six-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox; However, it is a great advantage not to use Volkswagen's 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. Except for the entry-level 1.8TSI classic with 5-speed automatic manual transmission, the other 6 configurations are matched with the Volkswagen classic Tiptronic 6-speed automatic manual transmission. Facts have proved that this power system rarely meets opponents in various comparative tests.
5. Manipulation: I feel very popular.
Haorui's sense of control is very "popular", and the seat hardness, pedal height, steering wheel angle and even window view are familiar to Volkswagen users. Sitting in its driver's seat, it feels as cordial as in Passat or the last two generations. However, Hao Rui has made significant progress in driving than Yu Ling. The most obvious feeling comes from the electric power steering wheel. Compared with Yu Ling, the ease and ride comfort at low speed have been greatly improved, and the stability at high speed has also maintained the nine success forces of Yu Ling's hydraulic assistance (I still think it is the most stable steering system at high speed in China). Of course, the size, thickness and material of Haorui's steering wheel (my version has leather and mahogany) are very pleasing, which is also part of the improvement of hand feel. Haorui's wheelbase is not short, and its innate stability is more advantageous. In terms of Volkswagen's heavy chassis, Haorui has also completely maintained a high standard. The absorption of subtle vibrations on the road surface is quite good, and the most pleasing thing is the control of road noise. The road noise that can be heard in the front and rear rows is very subtle, but the wind noise has obviously increased, reaching as high as 140km/h (which may be related to the shape of the square roof, and the Passat wind noise of the round roof has been well suppressed in the past). Considering the feeling brought by TSI power, Haorui's driving performance is more than one grade higher than that of Yu Ling, which is beyond doubt and natural. But I still have a reference in my mind: Magotan of FAW-Volkswagen. To my surprise, Hao Rui's driving sense is nothing like Magotan. First of all, the longer wheelbase makes Hao Rui feel bigger when turning or driving at high speed. Then Hao Rui's steering virtual position is smaller and more accurate than Magotan, and he feels more sensitive to direction control. Personally, I prefer Hao Rui's sense of steering to Magotan. Moreover, Haorui's feeling in the back row is much more advanced than that of Magotan, not only because of the larger space, but also because Haorui's chassis road noise suppression is obviously better than that of Magotan, which is estimated to be related to the brand of sound insulation materials and tires (Haorui is Michelin tires, and Yu Ling and Magotan used Goodyear in the past). Of course, with the advantages of DSG, Magotan will accelerate faster and consume less fuel than Haorui, which is also an indisputable fact. Hao Rui did not use Magotan's AUTOHOLD system, which is also a big gap.
6. Comfort: Enjoy the administrative level.
After the test drive and ride, Haorui gave me the feeling that it is a very easy car to drive, but I think it is more suitable for full-time drivers to drive. In fact, on the night of Hao Rui's press conference, Shanghai Volkswagen used it to pick up and drop off the high-level participants, and the VIP team composed of Hao Rui was very decent. In the first scene of Haorui TVC advertisement, the owner of Haorui first got into the back seat of it, followed by the picture of himself driving. With stable driving sense, quiet chassis and smooth gearbox transmission, Haorui ensures the advanced riding sense in the back row from the mechanical characteristics. Without the application of new technologies related to driving, such as AUTOHOLD and DSG, Haorui also showed some weakening of driving level. Closely related to the advanced feeling of the back seat is the design of the man-machine interface of the back seat, which will be mentioned later.
7. Configuration and security: scientific and technological equipment
PLA parking assistance system can be said to be the gospel of novice parking, and it is definitely a rare configuration in the same level. With it, the driver does not need to control the steering wheel when pulling over, but only needs to control the acceleration and braking, and the computer will control the automatic front wheel steering according to the pre-calculated trajectory. After the automatic parking is completed, the driver can stop further with the help of the front and rear PDC reversing radar sensors. Touch-screen DVD navigation and audio, the interface looks exactly the same as the latest version of imported Volkswagen models, and the interface functions are generally intuitive and easy to use, except for the hard disk recording function, I have been groping for a while and I don't know how to use it. The premium seat is made of leather and suede, which is a very advanced treatment, although it may not be good from the perspective of dirt resistance. The driver's seat has electric 8-way adjustment, 4-way electric lumbar support and three sets of memory functions, and the grade is already the highest. In addition to the normal two-step opening and anti-ultraviolet function, Haorui's skylight also adds a solar panel, which can provide electric energy for the air conditioning exhaust fan when the engine is turned off and the power supply is cut off, so that the car will not be as hot as a steamer when standing in the sun.
8. Summary: Atmosphere and Luxury
In short, Haorui has great advantages in space and configuration. Solar sunroof, wireless digital TV reception, automatic parking assistance, double tailgate, etc. are all not available to opponents. We also know that its workmanship is really good, and the materials and texture of the interior are very high-grade We have never worried about power, and the 2.0TSI engine is powerful.
