With the good wish of "going to the future together", the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is really coming!
In the Winter Olympics, in addition to high-speed skiing, short track speed skating and other popular championships in China, there are also many points of interest in cross-country skiing. 15 kilometers of rugged pistes tested the endurance and skill of athletes, and at the last Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Kruger from Norway overcame the disadvantage of falling off the start to win the championship in 1 hour, 16 minutes and 20 seconds.
We don't know who can win the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, but after I test-drove the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition diesel off-road vehicle at the Beijing Cross-Country Winter Olympic Ice and Snow Experience Camp, I can be sure that if there is also cross-country skiing or snow rushing competition in the automotive industry, then the Beijing Cross-Country BJ40 Blade Hero Edition is definitely the number one seed "player".
Not only has superior endurance, but also has a silky texture
In the sport of cross-country skiing, a 15-kilometer stage is definitely a test of the athlete's endurance. To achieve excellent results in such an event, you first need to have a strong heart as a foundation. When I test-drove the Beijing off-road BJ40 Blade Hero Edition, I also experienced the extraordinary endurance of the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition.
The off-road vehicle is powered by a 2.0D diesel turbocharged engine with a powerful power output of 120 kW and 380 Nm. Moreover, combined with the 8AT gearbox from ZF, the power performance of this car is almost maximized. In my experience, the first experience that BJ40 Blade Hero Edition brought to me was strong. The moment you press the throttle, the engine delivers a powerful torque through the 8AT gearbox, and the wheels lift up a lot of snow and start easily in the snow.
In addition, the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition also has low fuel consumption. Even in snowy road conditions, its comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only about 8L, plus a large fuel tank, the cruising range is easily more than 1,000 kilometers, and the strong endurance is not lost to the Winter Olympic cross-country skating championship. For example, in the process of self-driving travel, the cruise fuel consumption of the BJ40 Blade Hero version equipped with a diesel engine can be completely reduced to about 7L/100Km, which reduces the number of refueling in the middle as much as possible and makes the self-driving journey have more happiness.
Of course, this sense of happiness also comes from the quiet and comfortable environment in the car. Although the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition is powered by a diesel turbocharged engine, the car is even as quiet as a high-end urban SUV when the vehicle is up and running. Especially when the vehicle is idling, if it were not for the dashboard pointer prompt, I would have thought that the car had not started yet. Such NVH quality, on the one hand, comes from the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition of the engine in the system belt drive, rubber shock absorber pulley, double mass flywheel, double balance shaft structure, hydraulic tappet and other aspects of the design optimization, at the same time, BJ40 Blade Hero Edition in the vehicle sheet metal, glue, hole plug sealing, cut cavity, air tightness, damping pad arrangement and other more than 100 optimizations, to achieve sound insulation energy absorption, comprehensive noise control, which makes a diesel off-road vehicle can also be comparable to the gasoline version, quiet with the way.
During the operation, the work of the 2.0D diesel turbo engine is also very linear, and with the smooth shifting of the ZF 8AT gearbox, it brings a smooth driving quality comparable to that of urban SUVs. When running at high speed in the snow, the BJ40 Blade Hero version may be as silky as only milk chocolate.
In the face of extreme cold challenges, you can also calm down
In cross-country skiing events, due to the high-speed attack of athletes outdoors, the cold wind in winter has also become a "natural enemy" of athletes. At this time, high-tech warm clothing has become a "ski artifact" for athletes outdoors. In the winter off-road, we also face the attack of severe cold. And BJ40 Blade Hero Edition also has its own "high-tech cheats".
When starting the vehicle, I was also pleasantly surprised to find that even in the low temperature environment of minus ten degrees outdoors, the BJ40 Blade Hero Diesel Edition can still start with one button, and there is no need to worry about the difficulty of starting the diesel engine in the extremely low temperature environment. Such performance also makes the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition more adaptable than other diesel off-road vehicles.
Behind this, it is because the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition is equipped with an oil circuit preheating system. Before traveling in winter, the system can preheat the oil circuit in advance, and even adapt to the extremely low temperature environment of more than -40 degrees. This way, when we start the engine, the vehicle is on hold. In addition, this car can also bring enough warmth to the occupants of the car.
Inside the car, we have always turned on the automatic partition thermostatic air conditioning of the car, even if the water outside the window is dripping with ice, in the car, we can get the problem of warmth and comfort. Moreover, the seat heating and steering wheel heating functions equipped with this car also effectively avoid our problem of "hot front and cold back, hot brain and cold hands and feet". After we got out of the car to play in the snow and play cold, the BJ40 Blade Hero Version's seat heating and steering wheel heating can also provide warm temperatures for the back, hands and other places that air conditioners can't take care of, which greatly improves the comfort of the ride.
In the face of complex road conditions, this off-road vehicle has both skills and confidence
In the Winter Olympics, fifteen kilometers of cross-country skiing events will have many obstacles. At this time, it not only tests whether the athletes' off-road skills are excellent, but also tests whether everyone's protective equipment is in place. Back to the winter car off-road, the reason is actually the same: complex road conditions, test the vehicle's off-road performance; and the hidden ditches and pits hidden by ice and snow also test whether the vehicle is strong enough.
In the course of the author's test drive, the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition is worthy of being the most professional diesel off-road vehicle. Whether it encounters large slopes, cross-axles, shell craters and other road conditions, this car can easily pass. It should be noted that when encountering off-road conditions such as shell craters and cross-axles, I directly hung up the drive gear of the low-speed four-wheel drive and stabilized the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle could easily get out of trouble. Such off-road performance is really surprising.
When encountering road conditions such as pits and trenches, BJ40 Blade Hero Edition can easily get out of these trenches with a proximity angle of 37°, a departure angle of 31°, and a longitudinal passing angle of 23°. At the same time, this car also adopts the unique high-strength lightweight front axle design of Beijing off-road, when the vehicle falls into the pit or ditch, the front axle of the vehicle can strongly support the body, bringing us a full sense of security.
Conclusion:
As the only professional diesel off-road vehicle in China, the comprehensive strength of the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition on the ice and snow road has actually far exceeded my imagination. Before the test drive, we thought that the BJ40 Blade Hero Version had no problem with its off-road capabilities. After the test drive, I found that this car has a very good performance from the endurance, to the tranquility of the carriage and the comfort of use. Use the BJ40 Blade Hero Edition to play ice and snow cross-country, and perhaps even the world cross-country ski champion Kruger will be envious when he sees it.
