With the continuous liberalization of the domestic pickup truck policy, the Great Wall Cannon, which enjoys the first wave of dividends, has also continued to grow its own team, from the initial listing of the Great Wall Gun to the establishment of the Gunfire Alliance, and the continuous launch of various modified guns according to different uses and different styles, the new pickup truck life has gradually entered the vision of many car users.
In the entire battle sequence of the Great Wall Gun, the newly launched artillery model can be described as a real off-road weapon, based on the tank platform, the original factory has carried out a deep off-road modification for the vehicle, which can be played in hand, and has become another hit in the entire Great Wall Gun.
From the perspective of the front face design alone, the intuitive visual design of the gun as a whole still continues the front face style of the off-road gun. The large mouth grille at the front is highly recognizable, and the interior uses a cascading mid-mesh to enhance the three-dimensional visual effect of the entire front face design.
The huge car logo is suspended with the horizontal spokes, making the overall recognition high. The matte hemming on the edge of the middle mesh is very rough as a whole, which is a good demonstration of the wild positioning of the model.
The headlight group is not deliberately modified, the conventional layout plus the combination of light sources, although the visual is not eye-catching enough, but the use effect is naturally not bad.
As a main off-road and multi-functional model, the gun has been modified in the front part of the face, these modifications are also very practical, it is easier to find is located on the right side of the body wading hose, highlighting the off-road strength but also does improve the wading depth of the vehicle.
The front bar was replaced with a stronger metal material, and the winch was directly equipped inside, which further improved the off-road rescue ability and ability to get out of trouble.
In addition to being more practical, it may be difficult to see the substantive difference between the artillery and the off-road gun, but when you come to the side, you can see the huge difference between the two vehicles at a glance. That's right, the gun was a single-row, short-axle model.
In terms of basic parameters, the wheelbase of the gun is 2745mm, the single-row structure, the original chassis is raised by 2 inches, the ground clearance is increased to 249mm, the approach angle and the departure angle reach 34° and 26° respectively, and the longitudinal passage angle is 28°. These data may seem cold, but in the actual off-road, the flexibility and maneuverability of the artillery will be greatly improved.
In addition, on the side of the body, the gun is equipped with the same strength of the metal side pedal, the anti-slip performance of the pedal is worth affirming, even if it is rain and snow weather will not worry about stepping on it is not safe. The original gantry style is also relatively simple, using a metal tubular material with high strength, in addition to preventing the forward thrust of the goods, it can also play a certain role in the rolling frame.
Off-road modification, tires are also an important part, this time the gun is also directly in place, equipped with a hundred road chi KO2 tires. Combined with blackened multi-spoke rims, the visual effect and practicality are further enhanced.
The rear part of the car, to emphasize or two words, strengthen! The rear tail has also been replaced with a stronger metal rear bar, and the 2.5-ton traction qualification is standard, making it more possible to go out and off-road.
If you look at the size of the artillery alone, the keyboard man may say that the cargo compartment behind the pickup truck is so small, how to load things, but don't forget, the positioning and gameplay of the artillery model is not pulling goods. For true trunk use, as an off-road player, you may be able to build a suitable shelter for your rescue, survival, and outdoor equipment by adding expansion racks.
Moreover, the most intimate thing about the Great Wall Gun is the climbing ladder hidden in the back cover, with a maximum load of 150kg, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the owner's upper and lower tail compartments.
In terms of appearance, the artillery can be said to have armed itself to the teeth for off-roading, but when you come to the interior, you can feel that the artillery is more pragmatic.
The entire interior style still continues the design of the gun family, there are not too many tricks, simple and straight design with a clear functional operation area, simple and intuitive and easy to use.
In the central control area, the use of paint trim plate decoration, with chrome buttons, in the matching of the large screen and inline style air outlet, the overall feeling will not look too cheap. In the lower right part of the entire functional area, the buttons of the front and rear axle differential locks are designed, and there is no problem with the convenience of use, but from the perspective of use habits, it will be better if it is placed next to the four-wheel drive switching knob.
The dashboard does not use a full LCD instrument, but the application of traditional mechanical instruments, better stability is the main off-road attributes of the model needs. Compared with the full LIQUID instrument, it is obvious that the mechanical instrument will be more stable and the probability of failure is lower.
The steering wheel adopts a four-spoke style and is equipped with multi-function buttons, but the material is made of plastic material, and the handshake feel is general, which is also destined that the gun will not have a steering wheel heating function, which is not friendly enough for models that may be used in long-term extreme cold weather.
The entire interior, the most able to highlight the details is in the functional area of the roof position of the carport, in addition to the conventional switch, here is also specially designed 4 12V power switch, which also means that the gun factory is equipped with a scalable power supply excuse, for the owner of the secondary modification to reduce the difficulty.
Both seats are made entirely of fabric and are all manually adjusted. The comfort after the ride is not bad, but these two configurations are slightly rudimentary, and they are also destined not to have seat heating, which is also a problem to cope with extremely cold weather.
The artillery is based on the Great Wall intelligent professional off-road platform - tank platform. In terms of power, the gun is equipped with a 2.0T +8AT power combination, with a maximum power of 160 kW and a peak torque of 380 N·m. In general, this set of powertrains is a very mature set of the Great Wall, and it feels very good to use.
The performance of the entire power reserve is still relatively sufficient, especially the acceleration of the initial stage can feel the positive output of engine power, and the vehicle can quickly respond to the need to complete the acceleration under the throttle. Accelerate in the middle and rear section, as a pickup truck model will certainly not be too fast, if you want to overtake after 80km/h, you will not feel that the engine has a weak feeling, and the power can still be methodically output according to the depth of the throttle pedaling. However, the overall travel of the throttle is a bit long, and the re-acceleration of the middle and rear sections needs to be really stepped on. The logic of the gearbox and the matching of the engine are also very delicate, the intention of the lift can be clearly interpreted, the timing is set more accurately, and the overall smoothness performance is very good.
The original artillery factory modified Koeman's nitrogen shock absorption, although soft and hard can not be adjusted, but it is also a relatively high-specification modification. The entire suspension is very well supported for the vehicle, the continuous center of gravity shift will not hesitate, the front point is sensitive, and the trail of the rear will not make you clearly aware that this is a pickup truck. The front suspension is very well placed for vibration filtration, and the bumpy feeling is not very strong. The bouncing sensation of the rear suspension is somewhat obvious, and when passing through the speed reduction belt, you can feel some jumping at the rear of the car, and it can be transmitted to the people in the car, and the rear of the vehicle will shake after passing the speed reduction belt.
It is a pity that this time I could not feel the strength of the artillery in the off-road field, but from the driving experience of the road, in addition to the rear jumping and swinging when crossing the speed bump, the rest of the car is still very textured, if people close their eyes and experience on the flat road, they may not feel that this is an off-road pickup truck model.
In the past, the pickup truck in our impression may be a means of transport between the countryside and the city, carrying more may be the wealth dream of many entrepreneurs, but now the pickup truck has its own new way of playing, no longer a simple means of transport, just like the artillery has begun to impact more different consumption circles through its own revolution, to open up a richer pickup consumer population in China.
