How to choose between long-distance self-driving, two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive? Chevrolet Trailblazers fulfill your Tibetan dream
Text/Su Jin Ji
Today's urban sections are basically paved, so when we choose a model, we usually choose a two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive version according to our own car needs. If you are often active between cities and rarely choose outdoor long-distance travel, then the significance of four-wheel drive models is not great, after all, in response to urban paving, even if the four-wheel drive system has a strong ability to cross, it cannot really play out.
But if you have considered a road trip before choosing a car, and the terrain of the destination is more complex, then a model with a four-wheel drive system will be necessary. There are many groups of people in Tibet whose dream land is in Tibet, not to say how difficult the road conditions to Tibet are, how complicated the terrain is, but that the terrain of Tibet itself is not paved everywhere, coupled with the thin oxygen content of the low pressure on the plateau, and the climate change that snows at any time in winter, we have to be fully prepared.
Especially when it is snowing, even paved roads can easily lead to wheel slippage, so the necessity of four-wheel drive systems will be revealed. Chevrolet as an SUV starting out as a car brand, it has a deep foundation in SUV technology, many of its SUV models are equipped with four-wheel drive system, in order to balance the control of more complex road conditions.
Chevrolet's pioneer is a B-class SUV with off-road capabilities, this model in the appearance of the design level continues the Chevrolet family style, the American hard school sense is relatively strong, mainly highlights the sense of power, and does not have too exquisite portrayal. Therefore, the overall tone will be cooler, which is a design method that male users prefer.
This model provides a five-seat version and a seven-seat version to choose from, on the one hand, because the volume of the model is not small, the space in the car can be allocated three rows of seat layout, on the other hand, because the model also takes into account the family car, so it will take into account the actual situation of the current family population, users can choose according to their own needs in the number of seats.
And in the Chevrolet Trailblazer model version, it is also divided into two-wheel drive version and four-wheel drive version of the optional, but in terms of power, the whole system is a 2.0T displacement, including power, which is 237 horsepower + 350 Nm torque, which is not small. For two-wheel drive models, the city-wide use has a deep power reserve, and for four-wheel drive models, there is more torque that can be reasonably distributed for four wheels.
If you plan to drive a vehicle to Tibet, it is recommended to consider a four-wheel drive model, even if the two-wheel drive model of this model has the same power, but the decrease in oxygen content in the plateau area means that the combustion efficiency of the engine is reduced, although it has turbocharging, it will still affect the power output efficiency of the engine.
And in high-altitude areas, most of the time it is a climbing section, even if driving on the national highway, once it enters the Tibetan area and the snow begins, the drive type of the two-wheel drive model is likely to be unable to continue because of skidding. But if it's a Trailblazer 4WD model, it can distribute torque reasonably for all four wheels.
Once one side of the wheel slips in place, the other wheels can continue to run to increase ground friction. The vehicle can then maintain a continuous driving efficiency and increase the ability to get out of trouble. And after entering Tibet, the terrain we have to face will be more complicated, and the paved road surface is only a small part of the terrain conditions of the whole of Tibet, so the vehicle has a four-wheel drive system, which often means having a more adequate preparation.
summary:
So when we choose a model, we may not consider the four-wheel drive model for the current needs, but if you want to choose an SUV within this budget range, and you plan to drive the vehicle to a farther place, then the four-wheel drive model can cope not only with the immediate ditch, but also the unknown geographical situation ahead, and the climate change that cannot be predicted in time. Also because of people's needs, the pioneer provides different drive mode options, both to meet the needs of urban cars, but also four-wheel drive models for users to choose.
