After this car was officially introduced into China, its price was 149,800 yuan. It is precisely because of the introduction of this model that the middleweight V-Strom? 650 ?The position of XT seems a bit embarrassing, because its price is 99,800 yuan. If the price is higher than the brand, it seems a bit difficult to compare with Honda and BMW. But fortunately, there are still some consumers who prefer Suzuki's water-cooled 90-degree V-twin engine. This is also the soul of this model. According to the owners of Damao who have purchased this model, this car The driving experience it brings is quite outstanding. So today the editor will focus on introducing to you the 2020 Suzuki V-Strom? 650? ST? ADV model.
The appearance is good-looking, but the seat height is not friendly
Through the overall picture, we can see that the overall appearance design of this car is relatively excellent, especially on the front of the car. Its front design is very beautiful. And it is also very attractive. The design of the instrument panel uses a combination of pointer tachometer and digital display. It looks very simple, but it is still quite rich in design. Although the overall design is a bit unkind compared with current mainstream models, it is The necessary configurations are relatively complete, and the USB charging interface on the left is also very convenient. The wheel hub is a little different from the common spoked vacuum wheel hub. This is Suzuki's patented technology. It is a bit like a small hub inside a large wheel hub to fix the steel wire spokes.
The classic small beak with oval large and small eyes design, so the field of view of the rearview mirror is greatly expanded. The minimum ground clearance is 170mm, so the passability is very good. In addition, it also There are some special functions, such as one-button ignition. You only need to press the ignition switch once and the engine will start. This is indeed very convenient. At the same time, in order to optimize the overall riding experience, the windshield has also been further improved, increasing a certain size and improving the shape. Although this change is more detailed, it brings The feeling is very obvious. The original refrigerator is made of aluminum, has a large internal volume, and is also waterproof. It is also very easy to disassemble. The seat height is 835mm. The user-friendliness brought by this seat height is not excellent, so this may be the biggest reason why most car enthusiasts are discouraged.
Equipped with a water-cooled twin-cylinder engine with a 20-liter large fuel tank
The next step is in terms of its overall power. Suzuki has been optimizing its own 645cc water-cooled twin-cylinder engine, and this model is also For the adventurous generation of this series of models, it still retains the old engine and frame, and is also equipped with a 20-liter large fuel tank. The engine is still a 90-degree V-type water-cooled twin-cylinder engine with an actual displacement of 645cc. The ratio is 11.2:1, the maximum horsepower can reach 69 horses, the maximum power is 51kw, and the maximum torque can reach 61 Nm. The book data is very good.
Although this car does not have a power mode option, the traction control function equipped with this car can optimize this option, so the experience is still relatively good, because its The traction control system can be switched into two modes. One is to moderately control the overall power output and allow the rear wheels to spin appropriately. The second mode is to activate the traction control system with minimal grip, even if it is slippery. It can also meet the riding and needs of riders on the road.
This car is also equipped with a lightweight and highly rigid aluminum double-spar frame, which is the highlight. The tires equipped are Bridgestone A40 tires, so there is no problem even if they are used on bad roads. In fact, the actual car of this car is much larger than the picture. If you see it with your own eyes, it will feel very domineering.
Editor’s summary
Generally speaking, the overall performance of this car is relatively outstanding. Whether it is configuration or power, it has shown a relatively high level. However, the overall price is not particularly affordable. Among the three brothers of the DL series, the DL250 is a joint venture with Haojue, so its price is around 30,000, while the price difference between the 650XT and the DL1050 is around 50,000. Around 10,000 yuan, so its unfriendly price has also dissuaded many consumers. If the price of this car can be lower, it should also usher in a larger audience. As for the question of whether it is worth buying, in the editor's opinion, it is a matter of opinion. After all, the book data of this car is indeed relatively good. The biggest shortcoming may be the seat height, so whether you can accept this price depends entirely on personal choice. If If you can accept it, it's worth it.
