Each consumer's definition of a family car has differences, but the most core point is always inseparable from the space and economy, that is, the two parts of affordability and practicality, in the domestic market, obviously the best to do is the Japanese brand, but today I bring you this car has a 7-seat layout and a price of 150,000 or less from the United States, it is Chevrolet Volando, currently on sale there are mainly 5 models, The guidance price is from 13.69-15.99 million, and today we will discuss with you the light mix 530T jinjing version with a low price of 141,900. (hereinafter referred to as Chevrolet Volando)
Let's take a look at the appearance first, but it's hard to tell whether it's an SUV or an MPV from the body, but it's not, the car is actually a compact car, and it's just integrated into different styles that make it silly. The front part of the bright black hexagonal middle net is a horizontal strip shape inside, and the components on both sides are in the style of a deflector slot, and it is a real deflector slot that can be combed through the airflow, and the interior is equipped with black trim, which enhances the sports atmosphere of the front face.
There is a trim strip inside the headlight cavity to divide the turn signal and headlight, the light group area is clearly divided, the far and near light uses LED light source, and supports height adjustment and delay shutdown function.
As a representative of the American system, Chevrolet Volando is more aggressive in the use of side lines, using a segmented waistline to outline the body in different dimensions, the front half of the waist line originates from the front of the car and finally under the rearview mirror, mainly highlighting the muscle feeling of the front wheel arch, and the second half of the waist line originates from the front and rear mirrors, and runs through to the taillights, slightly upward angle and more distinct angles make the sense of strength of the body highlighted.
The rear part of the car still does not have a little car appearance, the tail lights are blackened, the light groups are LED light sources, the internal structure is more detailed, the lower bracket is obviously convex, the number plate area has an inverted trapezoidal concave design, the bumper is surrounded by a large area of black components, and the hidden exhaust setting is adopted.
Into the Chevrolet Volando car, the overall shape of the center console resembles an open wing, the table surface adopts the form of multi-layer covering, bringing a sense of stretched line, the top of the table is centrally laid out with a suspension center control, the lower is the air conditioning outlet, the central control area retains a large number of physical buttons, blind operation can be carried out more conveniently during the driving process, the steering wheel adopts a three-spoke hollow design, and the slightly flat bottom shape enhances the sports atmosphere in the car.
The Elite Edition is not equipped with a touch screen and cannot perform regular car operation, but supports USB connectivity for basic multimedia functions. The medium and high-end models are equipped with 8-inch central control, the theme interface is dominated by black tone, the icons of each module are clearly divided, the clarity and fluency performance are better, and wiFi, Baidu maps and general multimedia functions can be supported, and mobile phone mapping can also be achieved through CarLife and CarPlay. The instrument is a traditional instrument with a color screen, although it is not as technological as the LCD instrument, but it can still obtain the information required for driving.
The interior material adopts the strategy of "soft and hard", the top layer of the central control is hard plastic material, the lower layer is soft wrapped, and equipped with red stitching, and the air outlet on both sides is also equipped with chrome material frame, the details are more delicate, and the seat of the Jinxiang version is made of fabric fabric, but the exquisite texture does not feel cheap.
In terms of other configurations, the basic ABS, ESC and brake assist functions of the Chevrolet Volando Edition are equipped, and provide uphill assist, but there is no front and rear radar and reversing images, which is not very friendly to novice drivers, and the configuration of medium and high-end models is more comprehensive.
Chevrolet Volando offers two versions of 5-seater and 7-seater (2+3+2), body size 4684*1807*1628mm, wheelbase 2796mm, the middle seat can be adjusted front and back, in the backmost position can provide 178cm experiencers with about 2 punches of leg allowance, while the head has about 3 fingers, but even if it is adjusted to the front, the third row position is only suitable for emergency use, and the shorter and thinner seats will also reduce the comfort of long-distance rides.
When using the third row of seats, the trunk space is not suitable for loading large trolley boxes, but you can put down several luggage bags, which can ensure the needs of short-distance travel in the family, but if the last seat is lowered, then Chevrolet Volandeau can provide a loading space far beyond the compact sedan, then it is easier to put down the 20/24/28 inch trolley box, when the rear two rows of seats are down, the depth of the car can reach 1.92m, when a minivan to use is not a problem.
In terms of power, Chevrolet Volando is equipped with a 1.3T+48V light hybrid power combination, with a maximum power of 120kW (163Ps), a maximum torque of 230N·m, and a match of 6AT. Although the 1.3T from Chevrolet is a three-cylinder engine, it does not feel obvious jitter at low and medium speeds, and after adding the 48V light mixing system, it not only optimizes the fuel consumption performance, but also increases the speed on the start and stop to reduce the vibration and ensure the comfort in the car, while the comprehensive fuel consumption of the NEDC is 6.1L/100km.
Chevrolet Volando uses a front McPherson independent suspension + rear multi-link independent suspension structure, with a harder damper initial damping, but the spring part is relatively soft, so that Chevrolet Volando can obtain relatively tough support, but also can maintain a good filter effect on common roads.
Chevrolet Volando everything is designed for practical use, even if the "four unlike" appearance, but also to increase the interior space as the premise, in the 48V light mix support, the whole car also has a more efficient power output, if you happen to choose a suitable for family model, then Chevrolet Volando is a good choice.
