Chery's car and chassis have always been a great advantage. As early as around 20 13, I went to test drive all domestic cars in a large area and felt the advantages of Chery models on the chassis. After a big test drive, I returned to my broken Chery A5 16 produced in 2007, and I had the illusion of driving a Mercedes-Benz in an instant.
In short, Chery's current models, whether cars or SUVs, may have some shortcomings, such as sound insulation, but without exception, they are the best in their class in terms of chassis.
But Chery's chassis is not without shortcomings and problems.
For example, the chassis is hard, or more accurately, the suspension is hard.
In fact, in the eyes of Chery engineers, this is not a shortcoming.
Don't worry, from the engineer's point of view. This is a very novel point of view, but also a problem that has puzzled me for a long time. It is the feeling that Chery's car drives is generally hard to hang. Why? Why do you insist on this style?
Until one time, I had an in-depth exchange with an engineer of Chery, and the two sides got along very well, so the way I asked questions was relatively direct.
I'm still the same question. Why does Chery's car have to make the suspension so hard?
The answer I got was, for safety, more accurately, for better handling, and to ensure that it is not easy to get out of control and roll over in fierce manipulation.
I really understand this. For example, when I drive my buddy's brand-new Audi A4L, I use the 2.0T high-power version of the in-cylinder direct injection engine to accelerate 100 kilometers for 5.4 seconds, and the driver's brain is deprived of oxygen when the floor oil goes down.
I suggest that people who think Chery's chassis is hard drive that car. That suspension is really hard. To what extent, I feel that its suspension seems to have no spring, and it will be poured every time it passes a small ditch, but the advantage is too obvious. The ramp in expressway near my home is very curved. In order to let me experience the chassis stability of A4L, my buddy suggested that I take a turn at 75/h. Trust me, a regular car.
As an extreme example, the Audi A4L can illustrate that, firstly, it must be very hard to ensure the ultimate handling, and secondly, the luxury car like Audi is so hard that you can remember later that it is not original by Chery, but a handling requirement.
But that's why I support Chery to make the chassis so hard? No, I object.
The reason lies in when I told my brother's engineer at that time.
First, it's no problem that the Audi A4L is so hard, because people are selling on handling and acceleration performance. To put it bluntly, it is not a complete family car, but it has a little maneuverability and performance. But how many people will drive your Chery and SUV as performance cars?
Second, does a family car really need such strong handling? Let's take a look at the degree of control of Chery's models. I remember clearly whether the old Tiggo 7 was in Iran or some other country. A group of old drivers played limit control, turned around after the floor oil accelerated, and continued to reverse the car with floor oil. Ok, it's really good, it's really enjoyable, it's really awesome. But is it necessary? Nine times out of ten, we ordinary people drive slowly to pick up the children and buy a dish. Nine times out of ten, the average speed at the end of the day is 30-40. Is your extreme control ability useful to me? Sorry, no.
So from this point of view, I think it is reasonable for Chery to make the suspension harder. In order to ensure certain operability and safety, there is absolutely no need to make the limit so high.
Now back to the test drive of the Tiggo 7, the control of the Tiggo 7 is superb, but it also brings a problem, that is, the suspension is hard. When I arrive at the new Tiggo 7, I feel that the suspension of the new Tiggo 7 has changed a lot.
In fact, this change is continuous. In the past, the suspension of New Tiger Eight was softer than that of New Tiger Eight, but in New Tiger Seven, I feel that the suspension of New Tiger Seven is softer than that of New Tiger Eight.
This change can be felt on ordinary roads, but it is not obvious on platform roads.
However, on some bad roads, especially potholes, if it is Tiger Seven, including Tiger Eight, it will feel a little hard, and there will be a bang, which will make people feel uncomfortable and the riding level will drop.
So my experience of the chassis this time focuses on crossing the pit. It can be said that there is a section of urban road where I basically have to press every pit, and I feel very surprised.
Describe your feelings in detail:
First of all, the most prominent feeling is that the suspension is softer than before. Let's just say that Tiger Eight is softer than Tiger Seven, New Tiger Eight is softer than Tiger Eight, and New Tiger Seven is softer than New Tiger Eight. I feel that basically this pause is in place.
Moreover, the first half of the suspension feels soft and comfortable, and the second half feels good.
Support, there is a tough feeling, quite awesome, can be said to be both rigid and flexible.
This is obvious when encountering bumpy roads. The small potholes are well filtered, and there will be no clear sense of road in front of the car. If you encounter a pit, you don't have to slow down too deliberately and you won't crash. To tell the truth, I really feel a little bit over the pit, and my voice is dull and tasteful.
This suspension, if I can score, I will give 95 points, which basically takes into account comfort and certain handling and reaches a relatively balanced state.
So to sum up, I think I am very satisfied with the performance of the new Tiger Seven's chassis on the potholes, even exceeding my expectations. Finally, I have two thoughts. First of all! ! ! ! ! Has Chery's chassis adjustment technology reached this level? Second, I am willing to drive this car and find a pit to press it, which makes me feel comfortable.
Then drive the car to a high speed, the stability of the car body is very good at high speed, the car has been very stable, the directivity is good, and there will be no feeling of deviation before and after. This is normal, and so is the original tiger seven. The high-speed stability of the new Tiger Seven is basically the same as the driving style of our Chinese people. As for extreme driving, I don't think it is as great as Tiger Seven, but again, extreme control is meaningless.
In addition, I simply tried to change lanes at high speed, and the speed of 1 10 was relatively large and stable.
Basically, that's all the chassis is.
To sum up, I think the new Tiger Seven optimizes the driving quality on the basis of Tiger Seven, sacrifices the control limit appropriately, and brings a better urban driving experience. The driving quality of this car, I think there is no rival at the same price.
If the noise is a little too high above 120, I really think there is nothing wrong with the driving quality of the new Tiger Seven.
Today's chassis part is written here. You can see that I actually have a high evaluation of the comprehensive performance of the new Tiger Seven, but does this mean that this car can sell well or sell at a higher price? In fact, I have long thought about this problem. Next, I will talk about what price I think this new Tiger Seven should sell.
