The author has heard many off-road old guns and off-road novices share their real "painful lessons", and advise everyone to drive their own off-road vehicles to play in the snow in the ice and snow, we must be careful and careful, aside from the harsh environment, once the driving operation has problems, it is easy to be dangerous.

So, what should an off-road novice do if they want to go out in the snow in winter? With such a question, in this deep winter, I came to the Beijing Off-Road Ice and Snow Experience Camp, hoping that the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition, known as "China's Strongest Off-Road Vegetarian Vehicle", can give me the answer.
Ice and snow off-road is actually not difficult, the key depends on what car you choose
As we all know, on slippery roads, cars with ESP are better to drive than cars without ESP; when reversing, cars with panoramic images + radar are more convenient than cars without radar and no images. The same is true when off-road, through a series of auxiliary means, we can greatly reduce the difficulty of our off-road. On weekdays, I used to driving old-fashioned off-road vehicles without electronic assistance systems. When I test-drove the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition at the Beijing Off-Road Ice and Snow Experience Camp, I found that the full set of auxiliary functions was so easy to use.
For example, when starting on ice and snow roads, my old-fashioned manual off-road vehicle needs to be strictly controlled to start in 2nd gear, and it needs precise oil separation to control torque output and avoid stalls. The BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition is equipped with a snow mode. In snow mode, the system automatically controls the starting gear of the 8AT gearbox to achieve a high-grade start, and also gently controls the torque output to avoid skidding when starting.
In addition, during the driving, the BJ40 Ring Tower Championship Edition also gave me a very stable feeling. This car is equipped with a time-sharing four-wheel drive system, when driving on ice and snow roads, directly open the high-speed four-wheel drive mode, the front and rear axles of the vehicle are hard connected, assigned the same speed. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the vehicle is more stable and comfortable during the driving process.
At the same time, the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition is equipped with the "Eye of the Champion" front-view camera system. For example, when I am driving, I encounter a large slope, the front of the car's line of sight is not good, at this time, the front-view camera system can accurately help me judge the obstacles in front of the vehicle to avoid smoothly, even if it is climbing a steep slope without trembling.
More powerful off-road performance, enough to make people calmly cope
The reason why many off-road old guns are not recommended for novices to cross in the ice and snow, a big reason is that in the case of ice and snow cover, there will be some unexpected "surprises". For example, snow and ice cover the surface, which looks not much different from the road conditions in other places, but it is actually a "dark pit". At this time, novices can't cope with it, and they are prone to problems such as difficulties in getting out of difficulties.
But such a problem is actually not a problem for the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition. First of all, this car can give me a high enough sense of security. The high-strength lightweight front axle can have a strong enough support force after the wheels break through the ice surface to effectively avoid damage to the body structure. At the same time, the car is equipped with the same roll cage design as the rally car, which can also bring enough security through the stout roll cage.
Of course, in order to easily get out of the complex ice and snow off-road environment, it is not enough to rely on a solid body structure, but also to have strong enough off-road hard power. In terms of powertrain, the biggest impression that the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition has given me is that it is strong enough! The 2.0T engine reserves 165 kW maximum power and 380 N·m peak torque. Even when climbing a large slope, you can easily go to the top of the slope without the symptoms of "breathlessness".
In terms of four-wheel drive system, the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition is equipped with a low-speed four-wheel drive mode, after hanging into this gear, the torque is magnified by 2.542 times, in ordinary off-road conditions, even without the need to use a differential lock, just rely on low-speed four-wheel drive can easily get out of trouble. Even if the vehicle is caught in the shell crater, cross axle and other road conditions, the front and rear axles equipped with mechanical differential locks and central lock functions can easily help the vehicle get out of trouble.
In my actual tests, if the vehicle is trapped, it only needs to open all the differential locks, and as long as there is a wheel and adhesion, then the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition can easily get out of the trap. It is this kind of off-road strength that allows many off-road novices to easily complete off-road operations, so the 2021 BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition limited to 2021 units was sold out soon after it was launched.
With a range of high-tech technologies, winter off-roading is more comfortable
In fact, when I drive my old-fashioned purely mechanical manual off-road vehicle, I don't want to go out on a cross-country in the winter. The reason is simple, the comfort of my own car is really not too good. In the Beijing Off-Road Ice and Snow Experience Camp, the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition brought me a new off-road experience.
Before departure, we started the vehicle remotely through the pre-installed off-road circle APP and turned on the automatic partition air conditioning. In this way, when you get on the car, the warm air in the car can come to the face, bringing enough comfort and warmth. In addition, in addition to the remote opening of the air conditioner, the car is also equipped with seat heating and steering wheel heating function, under the blessing of these two functions, sitting in the car, enough to feel the all-round warmth.
In terms of convenience, the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition also brings a lot of features that I was looking forward to. For example, this car is equipped with the on-board WeChat function, which can be synchronized with the mobile phone WeChat online. When traveling in a group, the walkie-talkie can no longer be used, and the intercom function can be realized directly on the car machine. Moreover, through the team travel function, everyone can also observe each other's location information in real time, which is of great use when the weather is bad.
Conclusion:
Who says that off-road in winter is all hardship? At the Beijing Off-Road Ice and Snow Experience Camp, I experienced a more comfortable, convenient and relaxed ice and snow off-road through the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition. Of course, the key here is to choose the car well, and the BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition is very good. If you didn't grab the 2021 BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition? Well, the 2022 BJ40 Ring Tower Champion Edition is about to be released, don't hesitate, just rush it!
