Undoubtedly, this self-confidence and happiness comes from the excellent control of the brand. At the beginning of the year, Chage completed the test drive of the next generation Angkor Sela 2.0L, and the precise control really made many joint venture brands feel ashamed. In May, Changan Mazda CX-30 went on the market, and a new species called "running SUV" by the manufacturer is similar to Angkor Vesela in body size. What will it feel like to drive?
Don't worry about it yet. Take your time with your driving experience. Let's take a look at the positioning of CX-30 first, so that we can understand the new car more intuitively. It is confirmed that the overseas version of Angkor Sela hatchback will not be introduced into China, and the emergence of CX-30 fills this gap and seems to be more in line with the tastes of Chinese people. An SUV with better vision, higher chassis passability and more sufficient space considerations will compete with Angkor-Sierra in the compact market segment.
I don't want to elaborate on the appearance of CX-30. Mazda's "Soul 2.0" family-style design front face, whether placed on cars or SUVs, gives people a strong visual impact.
The large-size grid of CX-30 can also be compared with Angkor Serra. It is filled with small black triangles in the form of lattice, giving people a sense of agility and activity. However, this design is not entirely for beauty, but also has the function of actively opening and closing the grille at high speed to reduce wind resistance and fuel consumption.
The headlights of the far-near integration are not as flat as Angkor Sela, but I personally feel that the headlights are more concentrated.
Although there are many high-value new cars now, it is really rare to be able to shoot at a glance, which is obviously the credit of "Soul 2.0". Designers emphasize the relationship between light and shadow and light reflection; There are many curved surfaces in the front, side and back of a car. As long as there is light projection, these surfaces immediately reflect the "Z" vortex, creating a colorful visual sense.
Especially a Mazda with a crystal soul, you can hardly ignore it on the road. The side of CX-30 is surrounded by a large area of black, which enhances the sense of movement and avoids the "fat pier" that SUV of this level often has. Feeling.
The length, width and height of CX-30 are 4395 *1797 *1545 (mm) and the wheelbase is 2653mm, so it is a suitable compact SUV size. However, the manufacturer uses the cross-border concept of "running SUV", which means that CX-30 has both the appearance of coupe and a bit of "crock".
The tail is more like a crossover car, where the lines of the car body converge, and the visual center of gravity is below the logo. After lighting the taillights of the gun barrel, it is more ready to go.
Mazda's clever designers have all studied philosophy, and they can give CX-30 a soul just by giving "light and shade" and "light and shadow". Even after five or ten years, this design will not be out of date.
Such an indoor map can best illustrate Mazda's concept of "subtraction design". When other brands are talking about the big touch screen, how to configure the technology and how luxurious the materials are, CX-30' s low-key interior seems to tell you "just enjoy driving".
But you are exquisite, the three-spoke leather steering wheel has a delicate grip, and the embracing design makes every function within reach; The dark brown interior is very classy, and the knob handle of the air conditioner is properly damped.
When the SUV at this price desperately wants a full LCD dashboard, CX-30 is only equipped with a 7-inch LCD central dashboard, and the other two dashboards are still displayed by hands. Fortunately, the display effect is exquisite, the function is rich and the logic is good.
The floating 8.8-inch central control panel still has no touch, which requires knob selection, and its function is relatively thin, but it supports Carplay+Carlife. Obviously, it is not because it is expensive not to touch the big screen, but because Mazda insists on removing all troubles that have nothing to do with it or even affect driving safety.
The real shot model is equipped with L2 driver assistance system, such as parallel line assistance, lane keeping/early warning system, active braking system and adaptive cruise. If you are a novice female driver, Tea Brother Amway wants to use this system, which is cost-effective and helps you drive CX-30 better.
The adjustable glove box is very wide and can hold many things. The designer said that a large glove box was specially used to separate the position of the main driver and the co-pilot, so that the back row can have a better view and the communication of the whole car is smoother and more pleasant.
The seat is spacious and well wrapped, giving consideration to the comfort of daily driving and giving sufficient support when the vehicle turns.
CX-30 comes standard with the rear air outlet, which is very practical and commendable in the hot south. However, the air outlet has neither a USB port nor a 12V power socket, and there are only two USB+ 1 12V external sockets in the front row, which is not simple.
The wheelbase of CX-30 is 47mm shorter than that of Angkor Sela, but the head space is better than the latter, and the leg space is also neck and neck, but the higher and wider field of vision of SUV will make the rear seat more comfortable.
Although it is a front-wheel car, the central floor in the back row is relatively high and the feet can't be put up. It can only be placed at the bottom of the seats on both sides, which makes it difficult to stretch. If you run a long distance, it's best to sit only two people in the back row.
The trunk is flat, the space performance is better than that of a car, and the opening is low, so young ladies can also take objects and even heavy objects gracefully.
Many people say that Mazda's car is suitable for girls to drive, because the throttle is easy to operate, the initial speed is fast and the driving control is easy to control. As the first small and medium-sized SUV under the SKY-VA compact predecessor platform, the CX-30 is also very "Mazda".
CX-30？ The book data of 2.0L naturally aspirated engine is the same as that of Mazda 3 Angkeira, with maximum power116kW (158ps) and maximum torque of 202Nm(4000rpm). The data is not outstanding compared with the turbocharged opponent, but the matched 6AT gearbox is more dull, but it does not affect your relaxed and carefree feeling.
This set of 2.0L+6AT is obviously a relatively mature power combination, and the power output of junior and senior high schools is not delayed. Even if you drive CX-30 for the first time, you can easily keep the throttle ratio, and there is no turbo lag. "Self-absorption party", your insistence is reasonable!
However, compared with the intensive power of Angkor Serra, it is more difficult for CX-30 to speed up at medium and high speeds. When the engine started at 2800 rpm, the engine screamed obviously, which destroyed NVH. That was not bad. When the vehicle speed is 90km/h, it is a little laborious to step on the accelerator deeply and then speed up, but it is also easy to cope with daily driving.
The 6AT gearbox is conscientious and unambiguous when downshifting. It can always understand your intentions intelligently, and react quickly every time, and there is no uncoordinated haste at any speed. CX 30 has no S gear, but it has shift paddles. However, with such a clever partner, you don't have to paddle.
Drive CX-30 and understand Mazda's classic slogan-again? "Man-horse integration", the power of 2.0L is not absolutely fast, and it can even be said that it is only enough for daily use, but it is really difficult to meet opponents of the same level in control; CX-30 is an off-road vehicle, but the direction is still accurate. Although the steering force is a bit heavy, there are few gaps and the steering is very delicate.
CX-30, like Angkeira, adopts front McPherson independent suspension and +SEB butterfly bionic rear suspension structure (patented by Mazda), which is actually a variant of torsion beam, which not only solves the problem of large roll of torsion beam, but also has more toughness than traditional multi-link structure.
The real driving experience is that CX-30 reduces the fun of many turns because it is not an SUV. When cornering at high speed, the posture of the car body is still calm, especially the front row roll is very small, and the car follows fully, which is a bit like sending you to bending center. The state of the vehicle is directly fed back to you through the steering wheel, and everything is under control. You can safely step on the accelerator a little deeper.
The CX-30 chassis is compact and tough, but it feels a little harder when sitting in the back row, especially when dealing with continuous potholes, but at this time, the passengers in the back row have a slightly greater sense of vibration up and down, which is said to be one of the best chassis in the same class SUV.
Of course, there are still differences between CX-30 and Angkor -30, and the performance of Angkor -30 is more hearty. After all, it's a car body, which is closer to the ground, and it's easier to draw in and out. The tail reaction is also three-dimensional, and the power is slightly more abundant than CX-30. After all, the body is lighter.
Before leaving, some fans just asked the tea brother Angkor Serra how to choose CX-30. Here, they readily replied: If you pursue more abundant and pure power, then choose Skyactiv-X compression ignition engine to have both. They are on their way to declare; If you want to "fly close to the ground" with exquisite driving control, then choose 2.0L Angkeira, you are the most beautiful boy running the mountain; If you are a person with distinctive personality, have a special liking for cross-border style, want to drive a fun car and want to be comfortable, then choose CX-30, there is nothing wrong with it!
