In the context of many people's families, buying a car is undoubtedly the most suitable choice for a medium and large SUV, the medium and large SUV has more space, better riding comfort, and the loading capacity is also stronger, and if this medium and large SUV can also have some off road capabilities, then for some friends who like long-distance self-driving travel, it is even better.
Some time ago just test drive to the Chevrolet pioneer, this car is not only a medium and large joint venture city SUV products in the lower cost of a choice, but also through the ability is not bad, in addition to the rough interior, seven large space can not only meet the needs of the family, and with the blessing of off road ability can also have a few more poetry and distant possibilities.
First of all, the Chevrolet Pioneer series is a set of power combinations of 2.0T engine + 9-speed automatic transmission + 48V light mix system, and the maximum power and peak torque of the whole power system are 237 horsepower and 350 Nm, respectively.
This power parameter is not very good in a number of joint ventures and large SUVs, but the highlight is that this power system not only has a 48V light mixing support, but also the 2.0T engine also has a unique three-stage intelligent cylinder change technology, which can intelligently select and adjust the valve lift according to the working conditions in real time, and switch between four cylinders and two cylinders.
For example, when sliding, you can temporarily close the two engine cylinders, which is also a small black technology in the current product, Chevrolet Pioneer officially given fuel consumption is 7.1 liters per hundred kilometers, and in our actual test drive due to the synthesis of various situations, of course, fuel consumption will not reach such a low, but it is still relatively fuel-efficient, and in the driving process this "closed cylinder" feeling is almost completely unable to experience, good ride.
Another feature of this car is Chevrolet's Twin-Clutch intelligent four-wheel drive system, which independently controls the torque through a multi-piece clutch, actively controls the torque distribution of the front and rear axles, and the Chevrolet Pioneer can simultaneously achieve continuous distribution of torque between the left and right rear wheels 100:0-0:100.
Coupled with the Chevrolet Trailblazer's own no small ground clearance, in the actual test drive process, adjusted to the Off-Road off-road mode, by controlling the TCS (Traction Control System) and StabiliTrak stabilization system brake intervention timing and engine torque output, to further enhance the grip performance and ability to get out of trouble, in the face of some mild off-road environments, such as mud or hill climbing situation, you can largely avoid the tire slippage phenomenon common in most urban SUVs. As long as the throttle is stabilized, it is not difficult to get through.
As a medium and large SUV, the Chevrolet Trailblazer body length is close to 5 meters, wheelbase 2863mm, there are five-seat and seven-seat two versions, ignoring the emergency use of the third row of seats, the Chevrolet Trailblazer front two row of seats are very good seating space and comfort.
Front 10-way electric adjustment, seat heating and other configurations are not lacking, the second row of ground is almost flat, the seat front and back and back angle can be adjusted, the longitudinal space is also good, and the second exclusion USB interface also has a 220V power socket.
And the entire tail box space, the third row reached 883L when it was reversed, and the second and third rows were all put down to 1970L, so that even large equipment such as folding beds and mountain bikes could be accommodated in such a large space, whether it was for dads or multi-person families, it was completely possible to go out and carry equipment similar to strollers.
The interior configuration of the Chevrolet Pioneer is not bad, and the basic functions such as bose sound system, three-zone independent automatic air conditioning system, ANC active noise reduction system, and L2 level intelligent assisted driving are not lacking in the top version.
However, in the entire interior design, the luxurious texture of the materials, it is obviously the short board of Chevrolet pioneers, and some plastic-like material trims are always slightly rougher than the interiors of other medium and large SUVs of the same level.
This should also be related to the positioning of the Chevrolet Trailblazer car, the price range of the Chevrolet Trailblazer series is between 229,900-33.99 million yuan, the price of the 229,900 entry-level models is almost lower than that of some compact SUVs, plus the preferential treatment of the Chevrolet terminal market is not small, in the medium and large SUV level, you can imagine how tempting the Chevrolet Trailblazer will eventually start the price.
So the Chevrolet Trailblazer whole car is a space large enough, dynamic performance is good, but also has some off road capabilities, but not too much pursuit of luxury products, the interior rough some does not matter, its positioning is a medium and large SUV in a more cost-effective choice, to know that the Chevrolet Trailblazer's same brother Buick Encore Banner, the starting price is 70,000 pieces more expensive than the Chevrolet Trailblazer, the two are the same platform the same power system almost the same size.
So for consumers, if you are more concerned about the actual use of basic elements such as functions and space, and do not have much requirements for luxury, then the Chevrolet Trailblazer is indeed a relatively worthy model.
Finally, aside from the Chevrolet Trailblazer, what are the options for medium- or medium-sized SUVs with large spaces and comfortable rides?
Toyota Highlander is certainly one of them, not only has a higher retention rate, reliability, fuel consumption is also better, but the starting price of Toyota Highlander is nearly 30,000 more expensive (starting at 258,800), and the Toyota Highlander terminal has no discounts, and the final landing will be much higher than the cost of the Chevrolet Pioneer.
The Ford Sharp Edge and price range and the Chevrolet Trailblazer overlap very highly, and the two are not much different in power performance, but the body size of the Ford Sharp Edge is smaller than that of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, and the space is slightly inferior to the Chevrolet Trailblazer. The same as the medium and large SUV of Jiangling Ford Lingyu, in terms of space and Chevrolet Pioneer is almost the same, and the Ford Lingyu 169,800 starting price is lower, the top model is also almost the same as the price of the Chevrolet Pioneer entry model, but the problem of Ford Lingyu is that the whole series of two-wheel drive, there is no four-wheel drive optional, the use of the scene is worse.
