This year's business is not as good as in previous years, but it is much better than last year, so it was decided to simply replace the old Accord, which has been open for nearly a decade. After looking around, BBA found that he was still a little aesthetically tired and unacceptable, so he finally mentioned a new Range Rover Aurora L at a price of 385,000, model 2021 Aurora L 249PS R-Dynamic S Performance Edition, counting the price reduction after landing 385,000. Now open for 2 months, I have held my stomach and my heart.
This car has many advantages and some disadvantages, let's start with the appearance. Compared with the original model, after watching the car several times, I did not feel that there was much difference in the new Aurora L, the sales said that it was a big circle, and there were some details changes. The front face is thick and powerful, the lower lip is honeycomb-shaped grille, and the cheeks of the tiger's claw are outlined on both sides. With integrated near and far lights, LED light sources, and integrated daily running lights, matrix light sources can be optionally installed, but I did not choose, there is no need.
The side lines are straight, the roof lines are slightly pressed down from front to back, and the entire rear of the vehicle looks restrained and spirited. The curvature of the body is concave, and the gloss and fineness of the paint surface are quite good. Using 235mm width 20 inches diameter scorpion zero tires, also commonly known as Pirelli "Scorpion King" tires, the tire wall has been strengthened, the performance is extremely excellent, can cope with the harsher field surfaces. This tire needs about 1500 to buy online, and it may take more than 2000 to replace it in the store if you count the working hours.
The rear side of the car double out of the hidden exhaust, the design aesthetic and the front face are consistent. Overall, the exterior design of this car belongs to the fashion with a delicate texture, the degree of luxury is enough, itself has the popularity of Land Rover, and the classic appearance of this car has been impressive for many years.
The interior is heavily made of leather materials, the T-shaped layout of the central control, the 10.2-inch embedded LCD central control screen below is the LCD air conditioning panel and the necessary knobs, the sense of technology is very sufficient. The narrow air conditioner outlet is almost hidden under the operating table, which is not eye-catching at all visually, but the cooling effect is not lost at all. The shape of the circle around the gear handle is also more chic, and the metal texture is very strong.
In terms of configuration, the front and rear parking radar + reversing image support cruise, the steering wheel supports gear shift function, the electric tailgate has a memory function, and it supports one-button start and keyless entry. The car machine supports navigation and mobile phone interconnection, car networking, standard voice recognition control, the car machine can open the hot spot, the mobile phone is connected during the driving process without consuming traffic.
The body size has been upgraded, 4531 * 1904 * 1650mm, wheelbase 2841mm, the vehicle reached a 2-ton curb weight, the chassis is very stable. Front McPherson single suspension, rear multi-link solo suspension, the use of timely four-wheel drive drive, with a multi-piece clutch of the central differential, the original with the rear axle limited slip differential, support for six driving mode switching, the control texture is first-class, can adapt to a variety of road surfaces, occasionally mild off-road can also be driven.
But this car is a load-bearing body after all, and it is certainly unrealistic to want to compete with professional off-road vehicles. The braking distance is 40.48 meters, which is a good statistic on this tonnage model. The stability of the vehicle when turning is satisfactory, on the one hand, it is self-important, on the other hand, the tires are good, the tuning is also excellent, Jaguar Land Rover Group itself is still a professional performance car, especially Land Rover is a professional luxury SUV, and the reputation has been good for many years.
It is equipped with a 2.0T turbo engine with a maximum power of 183 kW, 249 hp and a peak torque of 365N.m, matching a 9AT gearbox. Zero hundred accelerated in 8.2 seconds, fuel consumption of 7.3L 100 kilometers. Equipped with a 48V light mix system, which can effectively reduce the lag at the start and optimize fuel economy, the engine can reach the maximum torque speed at 1300 rpm, the power is very early, and the label 95 gasoline is required. In addition, there is an active closed air intake grille, the grille is closed at the beginning, which can quickly preheat the vehicle engine, and the fuel consumption in the early idle stage can also be reduced, which can optimize the fuel economy and have a significant effect.
On the whole, although this car has not yet been first insured, it has already given me some surprises. First of all, the exterior interior for the creation of a sense of luxury is more professional, compared to the German luxury car, I feel that it should be a grade with Mercedes-Benz BMW, slightly better than Audi, the outside looks at the atmosphere, the inside texture of the car is excellent. In addition to the handling and fuel consumption, the car at this price point plus this power, generally speaking, fuel consumption is normal in more than ten liters, but this car preheats the engine through the closed air intake grille, coupled with the light mixing system, the fuel consumption is optimized to a satisfactory degree. Finally, this price point, the same price to buy Mercedes-Benz BMW's medium-sized SUV is difficult to do, so the owner also held back a stomach, want to ask this car what is not as good as Mercedes-Benz BMW?
