In the data testing session, we measured and compared the field of view that is most commonly used in the daily use of the vehicle. In the blind spot test session directly in front of the field of view, we used the 70 cm high pile bucket as a reference object, and then adjusted the relative position of the vehicle until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be seen in the main driver's seat. At this time, the distance between the front of the car and the pile barrel is measured, and the smaller the value, the smaller the blind spot in the front field of vision.

After actual measurement, the forward field of view data of SAIC Volkswagen Tuang and FAW Besturn T99 is at the middle and upper reaches of the same level, and the front field of view blind area is small. The distance between the FAW-Volkswagen front of the vehicle and the pile barrel reaches 520cm, which is at the downstream level of the same level, and the blind area of the front vision is large.

In terms of reversing images, all three models are equipped with 360-degree panoramic images, and the configuration performance is good. Among them, FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen Tuang perform the same, the overall coverage of the image is wide, but also support different viewing angles, when encountering narrow roads and parking spaces, you can also manually switch the perspective, convenient for drivers to grasp the distance, slightly regrettably, the camera clarity needs to be strengthened. The FAW Besturn T99 offers 12 angles to view, is equipped with a follow-up steering auxiliary line, and the imaging system also provides a rear wide-angle function for the driver to observe the rear.

In daily use, vehicles often encounter the situation of turning or turning around in narrow roads, and the minimum turning radius of the vehicle is very important at this time. The minimum turning radius refers to the circular radius of the trajectory that rolls over the support plane in the center of the outer steering wheel when the steering wheel is turned to the limit position and the car is steering at the lowest stable speed. The smaller the turning radius, the better the maneuverability of the car. Know the minimum turning radius of the car, and be able to know the car when turning or turning around, so as to avoid scratching and other situations. After actual measurement, the turning radius of FAW-Volkswagen is 5.3m, the turning radius of SAIC Volkswagen Tuang is 5.1m, and the turning radius of FAW-Volkswagen T99 is 5.3m. From the data point of view, SAIC Volkswagen Tuang has the smallest turning radius, and it is easier to complete the U-turn on conventional roads.

summary

In contrast, FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen have been deeply involved in the Chinese market for many years, and they have more in place for consumers' daily practical habits, so Lanjing and Tuang basically cannot fault in terms of space, configuration and functional convenience, but due to the size of the body, the blind area of the vehicle vision and the turning radius are greater than those of medium-sized SUVs. Although the FAW Besturn T99 has the lowest price in this comparison model, from the perspective of practicality, it has not fallen behind compared with the two mainstream joint venture brand models, and the overall performance is remarkable. Overall, the three medium and large SUVs participating in the comparison have excellent performance in terms of practicality, and there is no obvious shortcoming, which is in line with the mainstream level of this level of models.
