First of all, in terms of appearance, the overall size of Shanhai Gun is 5440×199/kloc-0 /×1924 mm, the trunk size is 1500× 1520×500mm, and the wheelbase is 350 mm As a high-end product, Shanhai. In addition, after comparing the typical international mainstream medium-sized pickup Ford Ranger, Jeep Gladiator and full-size Ford F- 150, we also notice that the wheelbase and length of Shanhai Gun are just between full-size Ford F- 150 and medium-sized pickup Ford Ranger, so it is very accurate to call it "medium-sized".
In fact, in my opinion, there is absolutely no need to pursue full-size American pickup trucks in the domestic market. Although many brands on the market claim to be the first full-size pickup truck brand in China, none of them can meet the standard of Ford F- 150. However, Shanhai Gun found another way and became the first "medium and large" pickup truck in China. On the contrary, the positioning of "medium and large" is very suitable for domestic consumers, with domineering appearance, relatively flexible body and stronger adaptability.
In terms of design, I won't go into details here, because I have tested the gasoline version before, but what needs to be clear here is that this time the author tested the exclusive version (basic version), and there is no traction qualification, but the basic version and the traction version can actually be clearly distinguished by the rear bumper. The rear bumper of the traction version is U-shaped, with the car stepping in the middle, and the rear bumper of the basic version is T-shaped, with cars on both sides.
On the other hand, for consumers who need towing, they also need to know that the configuration functions such as front pre-tightening force-limiting seat belt, double-row pre-tightening seat belt, fully automatic integrated parking, remote parking, tracking and reversing, AEB automatic emergency braking, reversing radar 6 probe, front radar 6 probe, NCAP frame and so on will be mutually exclusive with the towing qualification (self-provided trailer interface+trailer power inlet), so it is natural to make a trade-off.
The cargo box is a highlight of Shanhai cannon, and it is the first design with split tailgate and flat opening in China. Click Yes to face the other side, closer to the inside of the trunk, and then step on the car with the rear bumper to facilitate the pickup. The long press is flat and has the function of releasing the container, which can extend the function of the workbench, and the design of the electronic lock is safer. It should be mentioned that Shanhai cannons are streaming media rearview mirrors, which are realized by cameras hidden in the Logo of Great Wall cannons. The advantage of this is that no matter whether the container high cover or the container tent is installed, the view of the rearview mirror will not be affected.
Moreover, Shanhai cannon also comes standard with LED high-position brake light +LED container lighting. After actual measurement, the illumination of container lighting far exceeds expectations. Under extremely dark conditions, the whole container will be illuminated, so you don't have to worry about picking up the goods at night. However, the container lighting function has no physical buttons, which need to be found in the central control screen. In addition, Shanhai Gun also has an optional domestic first three-door flat cover shelter, which is electrically controlled and can be disassembled by itself to realize container partition.
The interior of Shanhai cannon is decorated with soft coating, wooden decorative board and chrome plating, and the color is blue and light white. In my opinion, it is matched with an American retro luxury texture, quite in the style of American classics in the 1960 s. Fully functional, 14.6-inch central control panel, 12.3-inch instrument, leather steering wheel, steering wheel electric heating, four-door window one-button lifting+anti-pinch+automatic window closing, keyless entry+one-button start, 360 panoramic image, 220V 120W power interface in the rear cockpit, etc. This is the first time in China.
When it comes to NVH, it needs to be emphasized. NVH can be said to be one of the proud designs of Shanhai Gun. It can enhance NVH performance through three aspects, namely, double-layer rear wall, labyrinth air outlet and backward movement of rear door gap. At the level of technological innovation, the noise of the engine itself can be hedged by using the "active noise reduction" technology; As for the hardware quality of the whole vehicle, high-density sound-absorbing cotton/cavity partition and sandwich sound insulation glass are adopted.
Finally, talk about the driving level. Due to the limited space, the author only experienced roads and some simple unpaved roads. First of all, I want to say that if you drive a 3.0T V6 gasoline version, the noise will not change much whether you are inside or outside the car when the vehicle is idling. But if you drive a 2.4T diesel version, the noise gap between inside and outside the car will be a bit big. So what do you think of this problem? I think there are three points:
1.3.0T V6 has excellent power, and the V-type 6-cylinder engine is naturally smooth and quiet.
Second, the 2.4T four-cylinder engine is a diesel engine after all, and some inherent physical characteristics of the diesel engine are inevitable.
Third, the NVH of Shanhai cannon is really excellent, so that as long as the car door is closed, it will enter another world.
Diesel engines are quieter and smoother than gasoline engines, which is unfair. The diesel engine is characterized by large output torque. The maximum power of this 2.4T diesel engine reaches 135kW/3600rpm and the maximum torque reaches 480N? M/ 1500-2500 has become the king of torque in single turbine diesel engines in the domestic market.
Technically, this 2.4T diesel engine is equipped with Bosch 2000bar high-pressure common rail system, and the combustion system is newly developed, and the swirl ratio is increased by 63%. The fuel atomization effect is good and the combustion is sufficient, which effectively reduces the exhaust emission of the engine and improves the noise. Adopt HP/LP-EGR system to control the emission of nitrogen oxides and reduce the fuel consumption of automobiles by 3%; The high-efficiency VGT variable turbine geometry is adopted, which has the functions of fast low-speed response and strong high-speed supercharging effect, the inflation efficiency is improved by 20%, and the low-speed power performance is improved by 30%( 1000rpm torque); Adopt the built-in variable displacement oil pump to reduce the oil pumping amount at medium and high speed and reduce the power loss; The standard balance axis controls the excitation source to improve NVH performance.
In the process of driving, the author tried three modes: economic mode, standard mode and sports mode. In the case of economy mode, the idle speed is 700 rpm, while the shift speed is 1500 rpm, and the standard is 1700 rpm. In my opinion, the shift timing of economy mode and standard mode has not reached the maximum power output point of this power, so when driving on the road, it feels that the vehicle can't guess the driver's intention. But if you switch the driving mode to the sports mode, the dynamic performance of the whole vehicle will be further released. Even diesel vehicles can experience good explosive power and acceleration performance. If it is off-road or breaks down, the low-speed torque of 1500rpm can reach 480N N. m .
In my opinion, I cherish such a large-displacement and high-power diesel engine, because it is not easy for a diesel engine to pass the national standard B2-RDE today, and it is even more valuable to maintain good power output and NVH performance on this basis. It is necessary to know how complex the aftertreatment systems designed to deal with emission regulations are, and to what extent these aftertreatment systems will affect the dynamic response of diesel engines.
Moreover, the 2.4T diesel engine of Shanhai Gun has realized the self-developed longitudinal 9AT transmission with thermal efficiency as high as 42% and transmission efficiency as high as 97%, and achieved the balance of emission, power, NVH and fuel consumption of this power system.
The performance of suspension and four-wheel drive system also adds a lot to this car. For example, when accelerating or starting, you can obviously feel the daily driving pleasure given by this set of Borg Warner 4A+MLOCK four-wheel drive system, because in the three modes of economy, standard and sports, it is actually 4A mode, which will distribute the torque to the front axle as needed, so in the case of rapid acceleration, you will obviously feel the release of the front wheel torque, thus improving the acceleration texture. Of course, this four-wheel drive system can also realize 4-hour hard connection between the front and rear axles, and cooperate with the electronically controlled claw differential lock of the front and rear axles to truly realize three locks without fear of rough and harsh road conditions. The ground clearance is 230mm, the maximum climbing degree is 70, and the maximum wading depth is 800mm, which helps to cross the mountains and seas.
This time, I didn't try cross-country road conditions, but under some unpaved road conditions, this combination of front double wishbone and rear five-bar linkage will bring strong comfort attributes. If you sit on the big soft "sofa" in the back row, you won't feel like riding a pickup truck at all. It should be noted that the towed version of Shanhai Gun has C6 towing qualification at the factory, which can meet the certification qualification of 3.3-ton trailer, and the trailer power inlet and rear towing device are reserved.
The author thinks that it is a good choice to give consideration to power, NVH and fuel consumption in the era of strict emissions. Of course, carrots and vegetables have their own tastes, and Shanhai Cannon also provides users with diverse choices for different usage scenarios, so that both gasoline and diesel can be selected. If you want to match the ultimate comfort experience of luxury cars, maybe the gasoline version is your better choice; If you can accept sacrificing some comfort for excellent fuel economy and low-speed torque, the diesel version may be more suitable for you.
