I believe that everyone still remembers Zongshen's wonderful performance at this Year's Chongqing Motorcycle Exhibition, as one of the hosts, Zongshen Motorcycle unveiled more than ten models and multiple engines in one go, street cars, retro, imitation races, ADVs, pedals, etc., which can be described as everything.
This includes today's protagonist, a domestic entry-level hardcore off-road vehicle that interests non-paved players - ZS250GY (250X).
Now this car has been officially unveiled on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which is a greeting to everyone in advance for next year's mass production.
Zongshen's off-road vehicle uses its own PR250 air-cooled engine, with a maximum power of 14kw and a maximum torque of 18nm. This machine has been used on Zongshen's street car for some time, and the actual performance is not bad.
I believe that some Moyou may be dismissive of this car when they see it here, disgusted with its large displacement and small power, that is, a fake 250, what does Lao Tzu want this car to do? Or will you say, this car is not NC250, what can it mean to ride?
Actually, it's still interesting.
As an entry-level off-road vehicle, I think Zongshen's ZS250X is a careful and qualified product, it has two points that are more special in domestic entry-level off-road vehicles (forest road/non-paved models), and only Zongshen is willing to give it to you.
1. AbS before and after can be closed.
2. The standard off-road wheel group of the front 21 and the rear 18.
To put it bluntly, this is a people-friendly version of the Kawasaki KLX230, the former is now priced at 37900 yuan, and the price of Zongshen's small off-road can be limited at most than the NK150 of Haojue, and the blind guess may be about 1.59 to 16,800 yuan. If everyone wants the NC250 engine, then the price of this car is also ... How much do you say it sold?
Let's compare the current domestic 10,000 to 20,000 yuan entry-level, can be licensed, the product force is relatively strong off-road models, you can know where the advantages of Zongshen's 250GY are.
Haojue's NK150 is undoubtedly the most cost-effective in the early 10,000 yuan price, the most suitable for novices to try a car on the unpaved road, its advantages are very clear - the price is cheap, the quality of the equipment is light, the quality of the vehicle does not need to worry, you can completely get on the car and do it.
However, it also has shortcomings, Haojue's NK150 is too suitable for novices, or if you have a certain riding experience, and then want to play off-road, then the parameters of this car may not meet your riding needs, 9.1kw of power for medium / large weight runners is not very good.
As for the CRF190L, the power and torque parameters have indeed increased a little, but from its 14L large fuel tank capacity, Honda most likely did not want you to ride it to play non-paved, but hoped that you could ride it to tour the four sides. We can think of it as an unpreneered upgrade to the 190X, but its core is still a motorcycle-friendly model.
And Zongshen's 250X and the above two cars are different, I feel that it is to the benchmark KLX230 to go, Zongshen wants to make this car into the most suitable for entry of the hardcore off-road model, in simple terms can be summarized in two words - pure. Of course, if Zongshen can make its fuel tank smaller, this car will be more pure, but I guess Zongshen still gives a certain practical expectation to this off-road, so the small fuel tank cannot be seen.
We can see from the parameters why I think about this car.
Let's first assume that if you are ready to travel, look at the comprehensive parameters of the above three cars, which car will you choose? Is it the lower power NK150, or the 870-high Zongshen 250X?
Surely it's crf190L, right? Not to mention honda's faith and the word of mouth blessing of 190, from the perspective of the 14L fuel tank capacity alone, it has already won the starting line.
But what if you're ready to play non-pavement?
At this point, your options for buying a car will change a lot, and a large fuel tank is not only not a good thing for you, but may be a burden. The high seat is close to the people, which may also bring you the lack of shock absorber travel and low passability.
So in terms of non-paving, zongshen 250X is a complete victory over the NK150 and CRF190L. If you like all three cars at the same time, but you see that it is still very difficult to choose here, I suggest you choose this:
1, the budget is extremely limited, want to start non-paved, choose NK150;
2. If you want to find a balance between non-paved and motorcycle travel, choose CRF190L;
3, is to play non-paved, want to play more painfully, Xuanzong Shen 250X.
Playing non-paving is to be prepared to fall the car, at this time what quality control is basically floating clouds, so the quality control of the world's first Haojue is not particularly important compared to the maintenance economy and the parameter configuration of this price. Playing non-paved in the country is still a minority, otherwise CRF190L will not be like this, and Haojue will not not launch NK250.
summary:
Although the price has not yet come out, I believe that this car will not be too expensive, for the current Zongshen, it is more important to consolidate and enhance his fame and characteristics than to make money. If the 250X can be done well, it will also be helpful to Zongshen in the ADV field.
At the end of the day, what should everyone's favorite entry-level SUV look like? For me, if the entry-level non-paved model can say goodbye to drum brakes, I have nothing to complain about.
