Appearance: A brand-new design language is adopted, and many personality elements are added.
As for high-spirited, we have made a static interpretation of it before, but the launch time of the new car is less than one month from the official appearance to the release of the real car, so many people are still unfamiliar with its appearance. Here, let's briefly review the static part. The real shot model is GS version. By adding many GS-specific elements to the exterior and interior details, it is different from the ordinary version.
In terms of styling, the front of the high-spirited GS is the highlight. Its design inspiration comes from Electra -X concept car, which is different from Buick's existing family design language and adopts the latest pure design concept, including the new logo and the new China Net. The overall shape is more avant-garde and fashionable. In fact, it belongs to the same type of car as Myro, the star released by Chevrolet before, and has its own personal opinions.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the high-spirited GS are 4638/1816/1565 mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2700 mm. It is a compact SUV. On the side, it extends from the front fender to the waistline of the taillight, which enhances the sense of strength of the whole vehicle and conforms to the rear design of the hatchback very smoothly.
In terms of tires, the test drive model is equipped with 18-inch five-spoke wheels, which are more common on Buick models and are equipped with exclusive kits such as red calipers. The tire adopts European UC6 series, with the size of 225/55 R 18, which is mainly quiet and comfortable, taking into account certain handling performance.
There is almost no shadow of Buick at the rear of the car, especially there are many innovations in details, such as newly designed taillights, small tail wings on the rear hatch cover, new logo in the middle and new rear bumper design, which gives people a very radical feeling. In addition, it is equipped with a hidden exhaust pipe shape, and the overall layering is very rich.
Interior: cater to young people's preferences and adopt dual-screen design.
Compared with the appearance, there are not many exaggerated designs in the interior, and the whole still follows the latest design style of the current family. Equipped with a dual 10.25 inch screen composed of a full LCD instrument and a central control panel, it has created a strong scientific and technological atmosphere. At the same time, the center console is covered with a large area of soft material, and is equipped with piano paint, matte paint and electroplated decorative strips. The visual effect will not be cheap, and the overall texture is great.
The vehicle is equipped with Buick's latest eConnect intelligent interconnection technology, and the overall UI interface is flat, and it also supports custom card interaction. Many applications, including iQiyi and Baidu Maps, are built-in. In navigation mode, the central control navigation can slide to the full LCD dashboard through the "three-finger navigation flying screen". In addition, the in-vehicle system also supports OTA remote upgrade, mobile App remote control and CarPlay function.
The test drive vehicle configuration is very rich, equipped with full-speed adaptive cruise, active braking, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring and other driving assistance systems. At the same time, it also has a 360-degree panoramic image, transparent chassis function, and like Buick models such as Lang Wei Pro, it provides a streaming rearview mirror, which enables drivers to know the rear situation more clearly when facing complex road conditions.
In terms of seats, the new car is equipped with sports seats made of leather and suede. This kind of material is rare in the same class, which not only has high visual effect, but also has very good ride comfort. At the same time, the headrest is equipped with GS logo to further enhance the sports atmosphere. As for the seat function, the test drive model is a high-profile model, and the main drive electric adjustment and front row heating functions are not absent.
In terms of ride space, the experiencer with a height of 1.78cm sits in the main driver's seat of the high-spirited GS. After the seat is adjusted to the lowest position, the experiencer has about 1 punch on his head. The space performance in the back row is also good. The head and leg space of the experiencer are 1 fist and 2 fists respectively, and the space is still relatively spacious. In addition, the use of nearly flat rear floor design, three people sitting in the back row, comfort is also guaranteed.
In terms of storage space, the performance of high-spirited GS is in line with expectations. There are as many as 28 storage spaces in the whole vehicle, and the conventional trunk volume is 42 1L, which can be expanded to 1273L at most, which is enough to meet daily needs.
Power: Smooth driving and sufficient power.
In terms of power, like Chevrolet Milo, the high-spirited GS is also equipped with SAIC-GM's eighth-generation Ecotec 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with maximum power 135kW, maximum torque of 250n·m, official acceleration of 0- 100km/h for 7.9 seconds, and comprehensive fuel consumption of WLTC of 6.52L. In terms of transmission, the engine is equipped with CVT gearbox, which can simulate 7 gears.
This 1.5T engine gives people the feeling that it is easy to drive once used. The acceleration is smooth, the throttle output is linear, and there is no obvious hesitation in power. With the deepening of the throttle, the power keeps coming up. In short, there is no need to worry about the lack of electricity for home use.
The steel chain CVT gearbox actively upshifts, and the driving performance is also very smooth, and the body feeling will not be too dull. Just driving in ordinary urban areas, there will be a feeling of acceleration, and some AT or dual clutch gearbox models will not be lost. However, there will be a short-term "dry roar" after the floor is oiled. This is because the speed ratio of CVT gearbox is linear. As long as it is not intense driving, this problem has little impact.
The steering feel is obviously biased towards home, and the feedback is moderate. It is absolutely easy to hit the direction at low speed, even if girls drive, they will not be too tired. The steering wheel has a good directivity, which allows the driver to control in a quite relaxed posture, and no additional correction is needed when cornering.
When driving at high speed, the vehicle shows strong support, and can be righted in time after overtaking to avoid unnecessary shaking. Thanks to good NVH control, there is almost no noise from the engine in the cockpit when driving in ordinary urban areas. Of course, if the speed exceeds 90km/h, there will still be wind noise and engine sound, but it is generally acceptable.
The rear suspension adopts the patented Watt connecting rod torsion bar beam, which is not independent suspension, so it is doomed not to take the movement route. The advantage of this is that it can provide more space for people in the car. After all, it is aimed at young family groups. However, the adjustment of the chassis is still very important. If you don't blindly compromise on comfort, you will give it the tension it deserves. Dealing with small bumps is relatively simple and thorough, and there is no big jump after big potholes.
During the whole test drive, most of the road conditions are paved, and the overall feeling of the vehicle chassis is very good, which makes people feel very practical when driving. At the same time, the brake feel is normal, and the whole process is linear, neither soft nor hard, which can give the driver some confidence.
Editor's comment: As a brand-new product of Buick market segment, the launch of high-spirited GS is obviously different from that of family models. It can be said that it is a beautiful landscape in Buick product line to meet the needs of young people for personalized cars with a brand-new attitude without taking the homogenization route. Moreover, the new car also takes into account certain practical characteristics and has good competitive strength. In the future, it is predicted that the price of the main models of new cars will be around 6.5438+0.5 million yuan, which will compete with Nissan Hacker, Mazda CX-4 and other models. As for the price, let's lock in the price release on September 23rd.
