I think not many people know about Loulan, even though this year is the 6th year it has entered the Chinese market.
The original Loulan was born in 2002, as a medium-sized SUV of the ordinary brand, Loulan has achieved good results overseas, and it can also be regarded as having had the glory of the past.
In 2011, Nissan introduced the second generation of Loulan into domestic production, hoping to establish its reputation in the domestic luxury SUV market. At that time, the Nissan gang set the price of Loulan to a very "hehe" price - 488,800 yuan, reaching the level of Audi Q5.
The next thing, without me saying it, you know it. Take Chongqing, for example, I ran on the road for a year, and it was difficult to see a Loulan...
After 5 years, Dongfeng Nissan has pushed the third generation of Loulan to the cusp of the storm, which in my opinion requires extraordinary courage. On the one hand, we must accept the fact of punching the face, on the other hand, we must let consumers re-recognize Lou Lan and accept Lou Lan. In the end, the models of the same class are selling seven seats, while Lou Lan only has five seats.
In these years, there are many routines and few sincerity; there are more gimmicks and fewer practicalities. Would you like a beautiful young woman like Xinloulan?
Appearance: Beautiful young woman's appearance is the first Body curve is fascinating
The new models released by Nissan in the past two years, from bluebird to Sima to Loulan, are all innovative and avant-garde in terms of exterior design, rebellious and personality. The new Loulan can be said to be the most designed SUV model in the same class at present.
Interior: The good wife is warm as a jade, full of sense of home
Compared with the cool appearance of the wild drag, the interior of Loulan is more warm, and there is a sense of tranquility of a tough guy entering the "gentle township".
In terms of space, the new Loulan has an innate advantage. After all, the same price of ruijie, Highlander are 7 seats, Encore although it is five but the wheelbase is only 2750mm, compared to the wheelbase of 2830mm of 5 loulan, this hard indicator for the excellent riding space to create conditions, to meet your words on the "car paralysis" willfulness. Put down the back row to reach a maximum depth of 1870mm, camping on a sleeping car, looking at the stars with a panoramic skylight to see the moon, from poetry and song to talk about the philosophy of life is not a dream.
Hybrid system: diligent and thrifty home hybrid to achieve ultra-low fuel consumption
The new Loulan adopts two sets of powertrains, a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and a 2.5-liter supercharged hybrid. The edit test drive model is the 2016 Dongfeng Nissan Loulan 2.5L mechanically supercharged four-wheel drive hybrid flagship version.
Don't you think it's amazing? The electric motor that works with Toyota's 1.8-liter Atkinson engine is more than 50kw, while the loulan motor is only 15kw? Exactly how it works.
In fact, Loulan's hybrid system is the same as the Infiniti QX60, which belongs to the strong hybrid system of "parallel" structure. In theory, pure electric driving can be achieved solely by relying on electric motors. However, loulan's battery pack capacity is not enough to support long-distance pure electric driving. Therefore, during the driving process, the motor only plays an auxiliary role. During the test drive, the editor found that even the start-up would not use pure electricity, and the electric motor would only intervene in the starting process to provide additional power to the vehicle to reduce the high fuel consumption caused by the engine at start-up.
In general, although Loulan Hybrid cannot achieve pure electric low-speed driving to save fuel, in fact, Loulan's comprehensive fuel consumption is very low. In the comprehensive road conditions of nearly 1500 kilometers in this test drive, the average fuel consumption of 100 kilometers in Loulan is less than 7L, which is very good for medium-sized SUVs.
Test drive experience: Long before the editor test drive this new Loulan, I heard a lot of negative voices on the Internet - power is not good, meat, no energy... After the test drive, I said, "Wait for the keyboard car god to rest!" ”
So why do so many people say Lou Lan meat? The reason is on that 7-speed CVT stepless transmission. As we all know, CVT is synonymous with home, comfort and smoothness, coupled with the characteristics of the supercharged engine, which is inherently smoother than the turbocharged. During the test drive, the editor can feel that Lou Lan started very smoothly, but after stepping on the throttle slightly deeper, the low torsion is full of explosive power. In terms of balancing fuel economy and power, Lou Lan has done quite well. For a comfort-focused model, do you have to give you a strong push-back force like a performance car? This requirement does not seem very scientific.
Editor's comments: Excellent design, anachronistic 5-seater in exchange for a spacious driving space, a set of hybrid systems that are not well recognized by consumers, but are quite practical... In short, Xinloulan is like a beautiful home wife, which sounds contradictory, but it satisfies men's biggest fantasies: good looking and practical!
