On December 15th, "Weili 4WD Is one step ahead" - GAC Toyota Velanda High Performance Edition "Weili 4WD Experience Camp" was held in Shanghai.
With the blessing of the TNGA-K platform, Velanda High Performance Edition calmly passes through various professional test driving subjects on the spot with the high-performance genes and exclusive adjustments of the same level, bringing excellent and smooth control texture and luxurious and exquisite travel experience, and fully releasing the charm of driving fun that can be "driven" at will. At the event site, the on-site media and users praised the comprehensive strength of the Velanda High Performance Edition after the experience, and called for its excellent driving quality.
Derived from the TNGA-K platform born advanced
At the end of the South Yin Ridge Show, the snow floats in the clouds. For the north, where snow has begun to fall, the importance of four-wheel drive for daily travel is self-evident. However, there are many types of four-wheel drive, and the performance is also different, to reflect the performance difference between various four-wheel drive, it is difficult to see the real chapter on the open road, and the field off-road can see the strength.
The "WEINIG 4WD Experience Camp" has laid two tracks, of which the "U" type track covers three off-road subjects, namely pulley sets, side slopes and cross-axles. The three subjects mainly test the vehicle's control of the four-wheel drive system, including the power distribution of the front and rear axles, the four-wheel drive reaction speed in Auto mode, etc., by simulating the complex scenes under the real road, so as to reflect the performance of the vehicle four-wheel drive system; the other track is set up with sharp acceleration, S bend, elk test, emergency braking and other subjects, mainly reflecting the vehicle four-wheel drive system for daily intense driving help, including steering tracking, corner control and corner stability and so on.
At the same time, in order to reflect the performance differences under different four-wheel drive structures and four-wheel drive control systems, in addition to the high-performance version of Veranda, the "Weili Four-Wheel Drive Experience Camp" also brought two competitive products to the comparative test, namely SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan L and Guangqi Honda Haoying.
Wilanda high-performance version equipped with E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system, both intelligent, powerful and precise handling, when the vehicle in the acceleration and rain and snow weather wet and slippery road driving, can be smoothly switched to the four-wheel drive state, improve the rear wheel drive torque distribution ratio (front and rear drive torque 100:0-20:80), to achieve more accurate control, enjoy comparable to the driving pleasure of the rear-drive SUVs; when the vehicle is steering, the system accurately grasps the driver's operating intentions, improves the stability of vehicle handling, Climbing in the face of snowfall and exceptionally snowy weather can further enhance the driver's sense of safety.
In addition to the E-FOUR electronic all-wheel drive system, the Willanda family is equipped with DTC dynamic torque control four-wheel drive system and DTV dynamic torque vectoring control four-wheel drive system according to different models. Among them, the DTC dynamic torque control four-wheel drive system can appropriately distribute the driving torque to the rear wheel according to the tire slippage situation, and improve the acceleration performance and body stability of the vehicle when starting. In addition to controlling the front and rear torque distribution according to the driving conditions, the DTV dynamic torque vectoring control four-wheel drive system can also realize 100:0-0:100 drive torque distribution for the left and right rear wheels to improve the steering performance and off-road performance of the vehicle.
Tiguan L and Haoying both use intelligent control four-wheel drive structure, of which the core components of Tiguan L come from BorgWarner's fifth-generation Haldex, in front of the rear axle differential with a set of electronically controlled multi-piece clutch to the front and rear axle power distribution, the maximum front and rear wheel power ratio of 95:5, can not do E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system 100:0, the latter in addition to the front wheel can have more power, but also can further reduce power loss, improve fuel economy.
Haoying also uses an electronically controlled multi-piece clutch for power distribution of the front and rear axles, which can theoretically output up to 60% of the power to the rear wheel, while the Veranda High Performance Edition equipped with the E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system can be allocated up to 80% of the power at the front wheel when the front wheel is skidding, and the rescue is more relaxed.
E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive strength outstanding driving fun
In the off-road subject of the "U" track, the Veranda High Performance Edition shows a strong ability to get out of trouble with smooth performance, and the E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system can control the four-wheel power output in real time when facing the pulley group and the cross-axle, and the power response has zero delay. At the same time, the power output of the rear axle motor is more linear, and the right foot can control the throttle very delicately to avoid the dangerous situation of excessive force scratching the ground and thus the vehicle moving sideways.
In the side slope link, because the vehicle will have a certain angle of the curve after driving into the ramp, so when the center of gravity is shifted to the low side, the most test of the vehicle's distribution of four-wheel power, if the high side power is too much caused by slippage, the vehicle is also prone to the danger of side shift.
In this project, the Four Wheels of the Veranda High Performance Edition firmly grasped the ground, there was no slippage and uneven grip, and the driver did not have to worry about the output of the throttle to hinder the passage except for the direction.
Although Tiguan L and Haoying can also cross the axle and pulley group, the central electronic control multi-piece clutch it is equipped with will only lock up when the rear axle or front axle wheel has signs of slippage, so there is no sense of calmness in passing. Driving the Veranda High Performance Edition does not even feel the process of skidding, and has already smoothly passed the obstacles.
Based on the low center of gravity design and exclusive tuning created by the TNGA-K platform, the Willanda High Performance Edition has been given powerful handling performance from the beginning of the design, in the S corner, the Willanda High Performance Edition shows precise handling and excellent trackability, and the high rigidity body also exerts a strong balance stability, giving the driver maximum confidence to push the vehicle to the limit.
At the same time, the strong performance of the leading class makes the Veranda High Performance Edition also lead the opponent in a straight line, and the measured 100 km acceleration time of 5.92s has entered the threshold of the performance SUV. As the media who have experienced it live expressed, "The Veranda High Performance Edition is like a beast in a suit, elegant and calm on the outside, but incredibly surging on the inside, full of power and fast speed." ”
Under the dual advantages of power and four-wheel drive, the Velanda High Performance Edition has obtained a shorter track time than the two competitors, and the fastest lap performance of 28s in the whole process is obtained by the Velanda High Performance Edition, while the Tiguan L and Haoying are above 31s. At the same time, because the E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system is better than Haoying and Tiguan L in terms of reaction time, the stability of the Veranda High Performance Edition in the corners is also better.
