At the early stage of China's automobile development, our "three big pieces" technology has been lagging behind foreign countries, which is also the problem that domestic independent automobile brands have complained to consumers the most for a long time. However, with the vigorous development of China's automobile industry, independent brands have continuously increased their R&D investment in the "three big parts" and made many breakthroughs in automobile core technology and parts manufacturing technology. Some technologies are not much different from joint venture brands. Take Chongqing Qingshan Industrial Co., Ltd., a well-known domestic gearbox manufacturer, as an example. It has become the gearbox supplier of most domestic independent brand car companies, and its quality and technology have been recognized by consumers.
Chongqing Qingshan Industrial Liability Co., Ltd. Di belongs to China Ordnance Equipment Group Co., Ltd. and embarked on the road of integration of defense and civilian technologies from 1984. In 2009, the first AMT automatic gearbox in China was independently developed and industrialized. 20 1 1 became the first gearbox enterprise in China whose production and sales exceeded100000 units. In 2020, the production and sales of DCT gearboxes exceeded 400,000 units. It has a nationally recognized enterprise technology center and a CNAS certified national experimental center, forming a global layout of "two countries, three places and seven centers". The company has 2 15 valid patents, including 80 invention patents. It can be seen that Qingshan Industry has become a domestic star gearbox enterprise, attracting most domestic independent brands to cooperate with it.
Chery Automobile, as the pioneer of domestic independent brands, has a long history of cooperation with Qingshan Industry. Its recently launched new model, the Jiewei X70? Plus and the new generation JX90 are equipped with DF727C series 7DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox independently developed and produced by Qingshan Industry. The gearbox has the advantages of smooth power output and low fuel consumption, which brings users a comfortable driving experience.
I happened to take part in the test drive of the new generation Gateway X90 (hereinafter referred to as the new Gateway X90) in Chongqing, and I was able to experience the performance of the 7DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox independently developed by Qingshan. Chongqing is known as the "8D Magic Capital", named after the city is full of uphill and downhill mountain roads and intricate overpasses. It is precisely because of the complicated road conditions in Chongqing that the test drive of the brand-new Jetway X90 is more challenging here.
The new Gateway X90 is equipped with Chery's third-generation ACTECO 1.6TGDI engine, with the maximum power of 145kW and the maximum torque of 290n·m, matching the 7DCT wet dual-clutch gearbox. Although this set of power system data is not very fast, it is enough for daily use. After all, the JX90 is positioned as a comfortable and luxurious medium-sized SUV.
In my actual driving experience, the power output of the new Gateway X90 is really smooth, and the throttle control is also easy for people to get started. As long as you lightly step on the accelerator, you can drive the vehicle, and the power output is very soft. This setting makes people feel quite comfortable walking on the mountain roads in Chongqing. Because on the road in Chongqing, we often need to start halfway up the slope, but with the automatic parking and ramp assist system, drivers will be calm even if they start halfway up the slope, and they will not step on the accelerator for fear of jumping out. As long as the driver steps on the accelerator slowly and deeply, the vehicle can start gracefully and forcefully, which can protect the gearbox to some extent.
When the new JX90 is driving at high speed, it has a crisp shift feeling whether it is upshifting or downshifting. Its shift feeling is the change of acceleration, which can give the driver a great engine noise response. 7-speed DCT gearbox sometimes stops in the middle gear for a short time in the process of downshifting with large throttle, so as to respond to the driver in time, and then prepares to downshift to the target gear, which brings the driver a pleasant driving experience.
The new Gateway X90 is equipped with 7+ 1 1 active safety technology in assisted driving, and has L2-level automatic assisted driving. The specific configuration includes: adaptive cruise system, automatic emergency braking system, lane keeping assistance system, lane departure early warning system, traffic congestion assistance system, traffic speed limit sign recognition system, intelligent high beam assistance system, electronic stability control system, ramp assistance, frontal collision early warning and so on.
The new JX90 not only brings users a smooth and comfortable driving experience, but also brings users a comfortable driving experience in the interior design. Equipped with the dual 12.3-inch large horizontal screen design used by luxury brand cars, it brings mobile cinema-like enjoyment. The on-board system on this screen supports 4G car networking, mobile phone remote control, full-time voice control and so on. , highlighting the sense of science and technology and bringing a good human-computer interaction experience. It is also equipped with Andoto luxury seats, luxurious and exquisite leather, ergonomic shape design, heating and ventilation functions, and good ride comfort and wrapping.
The items have passed the test drive experience of the new JX90, and there are many feelings. I used to think that my own brand was not as good as the joint venture brand in many places, but after experiencing the new X90, I found that my own brand had made some progress. Judging from the brand-new Gateway X90 that I have test-driven, it is no exaggeration to say that I don't lose the joint venture brand in experience, but the price of the brand-new Gateway X90 is only 70,000 yuan, and the top match is only 65,438+0.4 million yuan, which is really good in cost performance.
