As we know, Yunnan and Guangxi are famous for their mountains and rivers, which means that even expressway has rolling ramps. It's okay to go downhill, let go of the throttle and slide directly, but if you encounter a climbing section, the fuel consumption that you finally got down in front will suddenly be broken. Here, expressway section is no longer a good opportunity to reduce fuel consumption.
More importantly, expressway only accounts for a small part of the overall route of this fuel-saving competition. In addition, it also includes congested urban sections and crude national road sections. They compete with the big trucks along the way and become the daily routine of the four-day journey.
The design of so many hurdles is actually to make the whole fuel-saving challenge more suitable for the actual road conditions encountered by consumers in their daily driving and to make the final measured data more valuable.
You have to go all out on your own to save fuel.
To tell the truth, this is a fuel-efficient race after all, and Brother Wheel has also made many driving skills to reduce fuel consumption.
First of all, the most important thing is to keep the vehicle running at a constant speed. The vehicle speed should be controlled between 60 km/h and 90 km/h, and the engine should be kept at a low speed as far as possible. Avoid big foot braking and sudden acceleration in the whole process, and try to slide downhill without affecting the driving of other social vehicles and ensuring their own driving safety.
In addition, it is a routine operation to turn off the air conditioner to reduce energy consumption, but on the expressway, in order to avoid increasing wind resistance, the windows have to be closed, which is the biggest test for the brothers these days. More importantly, it is really admirable to directly adjust the air conditioner to heating mode to speed up the cooling speed of the engine.
In addition to these tips, the reason why the14th generation Sylphy with wheel drive can run such low fuel consumption is mainly due to the vehicle's own power system and various intelligent configurations.
The 3rd generation intelligent engine of Nissan HR 16 equipped with14th generation Sylphy integrates many advanced technologies, including "GT-R mirror injection", e-VTC electric continuously variable valve timing control technology, TCV multi-stage spoiler control technology, EGR exhaust gas recirculation system, etc. Not only has excellent fuel economy, the maximum horsepower 139 horsepower and the peak torque 169 Nm, which matches XTRONIC, which is famous for its fuel economy.
CVT continuously variable transmission.
In addition, I think that a series of intelligent configurations on the14th generation Sylphy have also contributed to reducing energy consumption. When we start the ECO mode, the vehicle will automatically match the appropriate gear and engine speed according to the actual road conditions, so that the vehicle can achieve the best energy-saving state.
The car is also equipped with intelligent active air intake grille, which can be turned on or off according to different working conditions, so as to dissipate heat for the engine in time and reduce the wind resistance of the vehicle. In addition, with the support of CMF supermodel platform, the height of the new Sylphy has dropped by 56 mm, and the drag coefficient of the car body is only 0.26Cd, which has also made great contributions to reducing wind resistance and fuel consumption.
Then there is the automatic start-stop system. Although this is a function that many car owners will turn off as soon as they get on the bus, it has to be said that the ISS intelligent dynamic start-stop system carried by Sylphy really plays a great role in congested road sections, and there will be no slow response when starting, which improves the fuel economy of the vehicle and ensures the driving quality.
It is worth mentioning that there are a number of unconventional players in this fuel-saving competition, and they have not adopted any fuel-saving skills. Turn on the air conditioner and increase the speed. Surprisingly, the group's final measured comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers still reached 4.9L, and its fuel consumption performance was equivalent to that of HEV hybrid vehicles with higher prices at the same level.
Fuel saving has never been the biggest highlight of Sylphy.
Although the fuel-saving race lasted for four days and the time spent in the car exceeded 30 hours, Brother Wheel's greatest feeling about this Sylphy was that it was too comfortable.
Nissan sofa factory lives up to its reputation. The multi-layer zero-gravity leather seat is very soft, the curvature of the seat fits the curve of the back just right, and the wrapping on both sides is quite sufficient. You won't feel obvious fatigue even if you drive for several hours under the harsh conditions of turning off the air conditioner. At the same time, the car length of more than 4.6 meters and the wheelbase of 2.7 meters provide a very spacious space for the car.
Sound insulation can be said to be the killer of 14 generation sylphy. With a more flexible chassis, it is very advantageous to suppress the noise in the car during driving. Comfortable ride, spacious space and excellent sound insulation are the highlights that can directly hit the majority of family car users.
What impressed me most during the four-day trip was "playing games" with one big truck after another on the narrow national road. After all, it is necessary to control the speed and ensure safety.
I-SAFETY intelligent active safety system has given me great confidence.
The system includes lane keeping, over-the-horizon collision warning system, blind spot display and so on. Among them, the over-the-horizon collision early warning system has avoided several dangers for us, especially the big truck in front blocked the line of sight, but the system will also monitor the relative distance between the two cars in front, just like a perspective eye, and will give an early warning when predicting the danger, which can be said to be the most powerful helper in this trip.
As we all know, Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy has created one sales legend after another in China car market and won the title of "King of Cars". Today, the 14 generation Sylphy has been fully upgraded, and the fuel-saving characteristics have been further strengthened with a number of "black technologies". At the same time, the comprehensive strengthening of active safety configuration has made 14 generation Sylphy one of the safest models in its class, providing more users with a more comfortable, safe and environmentally friendly car experience.
