In the field of domestic MPV, Ruifeng Automobile is a brand that cannot be avoided and must be mentioned, since 2002 officially entered the Chinese MPV market, with advanced design concepts and excellent technology, it has quickly become the hegemon of this market segment. After 20 years of precipitation and development, Ruifeng Automobile has not only become an independent automobile brand of the Group, but also presented a serialized and diversified product layout of its MPV products, covering various segments of the MPV market.
At the same time, before the 2021 Guangzhou International Auto Show, Ruifeng Automobile also officially launched a new Ruifeng M4 automatic transmission model, with online direct sales and a unified price of 129,800 yuan for the whole network. Since then, in the domestic commercial MPV market in the range of 100,000-150,000 yuan, there is finally a choice of automatic transmission.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Ruifeng M4 automatic transmission expands the use scenarios of medium and large MPVs that mainly operate travel.
Full seat scene: Strong power to ensure consistent performance at full load
For most medium and large MPV, the performance decline of full load conditions is too large, which has always been a major pain point for consumers. Unlike public MPV or household MPV, the frequency of commercial MPV full load usage will be much greater than the first two. Inter-city online passenger transport and tourism travel, and commuting between enterprises and institutions in the city are the use scenarios that they often have to face. This means that it will often be driven under conditions with full loads of personnel.
In the case of full loads, the driving mechanism such as the vehicle's power, suspension, braking system and so on is a huge test, and it also directly affects the driving smoothness of the vehicle. All along, the performance experience of driving under full load conditions has been a pain point that cannot be bypassed.
Of course, at this point, the Swiss wind M4 automatic gear is handled very well.
In terms of power, the Swiss Wind M4 automatic is equipped with a power combination of 2.0TGDI+6AT. Among them, the 2.0TGDI engine is the application of a new generation of power technology of Jiangqi Group, at the technical level, this power system to turbocharging, direct injection in the cylinder to achieve power output optimization, in the field of operational travel-oriented MPV, the output data of this power system is very beautiful.
The maximum output is 163 kW and the maximum torque is 385 Nm. For the medium and large MPV that drives the Level of the Swisswind M4, the power performance of the Swisswind M4 will be very strong. For comparison, you can look at the data of SAIC Maxus G10 2.0T model, whose maximum output torque is only 350 Nm.
It is worth mentioning that the maximum torque output range of the 2.0TGDI engine is 1500rpm-3500rpm, and the maximum torque can be output at a low speed, which is also the advantage of this turbocharged engine. This continuous output of maximum torque at low speeds ensures that the Ruifeng M4 automatic transmission ensures the strength of the power performance output.
The lower maximum torque burst range ensures that the Ruifeng M4 automatic can obtain a direct and linear acceleration, which lasts until the output range of 3500rpm, so that the "force" of this acceleration can be sustained. The 6AT automatic transmission and the output matching of high torque and high power can make the maximum power and torque appear at a higher frequency, so that the Ruifeng M4 automatically can still get a good performance experience under full load conditions. Thus avoiding the pain point that the traditional medium and large MPV has too much power decline under full capacity.
Commuting scene: The automatic gear makes the Ruifeng M4 less difficult to drive
Although in the performance-oriented passenger car market, manual transmissions have now become very advanced, but in the field of MPV, which is mainly based on operational travel, manual transmissions are a short board, but due to the driving route and frequency of use, they will generally be much longer than passenger cars. Commuting in crowded cities or undertakings is an intercity short-distance passenger transport, and the driving time is much higher than that of ordinary passenger cars.
In such a scenario, the manual transmission model frequently operates the mode of shifting gears, which undoubtedly increases the driver's operating intensity and fatigue, and also invisibly raises the operating threshold, at least for the use of the full-scene travel scenario, the manual transmission will appear very inconvenient.
The advantage of the Ruifeng M4 automatic gear is that when it shuttles through the streets and alleys of the city, it maximizes the convenience of frequent getting on and off the train. For novice drivers, the Ruifeng M4 automatic gear can also be easily driven, which fundamentally solves the shift impact of the manual gear model and takes the driving experience to a higher level.
Loading scene: large space and diversified space convenience
For MPV, which is mainly based on operational travel, and the emergence of full seats with people, there is a demand for large spaces in the car and trunk, especially the convenience and diversification of space. More specifically, whether the space is large enough, whether the opening of the trunk is low enough, whether the floor is flat enough, whether it is convenient to put away items, and so on.
On the spatial level, the Ruifeng M4 automatic has a body length of 5200mm and a wheelbase of 3080mm. Thanks to the short-fronted van design, this body length can basically be used efficiently in the interior space. Inside the Mift M4, a seven- to nine-seat layout can be easily expanded on demand, with intermediate seats that can support 360° rotation and up to 20 seat combinations. In this way, the Ruifeng M4 automatic gear can also easily cope with the riding needs of different travel scenarios.
In terms of space convenience, Ruifeng M4 provides a low-opening trunk opening method and a fully flat floor design, and the folding mode of the rear seats is suspended, thus ensuring that the demand for maximum internal space is loved, and the loading of large items can become more relaxed to meet the needs of item storage. With all the seats in the car open, the Swiss Wind M4 can also accommodate six 24-inch suitcases. For short-distance passengers with full loads, this performance fully meets the baggage carrying needs of passengers in the car.
Cost-effective: 100,000-150,000 yuan level of commercial MPV optimal solution
At present, the same level of models similar to the Ruifeng M4 automatic gear positioning mainly include chase G10. However, from the perspective of price, it is also equipped with an automatic transmission and a 2.0T turbocharged engine, and the official price has reached 157,800 yuan, which is nearly 30,000 yuan higher than the Ruifeng M4 automatic gear.
From the perspective of size and space, the two are similar, but from the performance of power output, the power output of the Ruifeng M4 automatic will be more advantageous, and the dynamic driving feedback will be better. From the perspective of all-scenario travel, the lower price and more powerful power performance of the Ruifeng M4 automatic gear will greatly reduce its operating costs and achieve rapid return on costs.
Overall, with the advantages of large space, strong power and high cost performance, with the only automatic gear of the same level, and the reputation accumulated by Ruifeng Automobile in the Chinese MPV market for many years, in the commercial MPV market of 100,000-150,000 yuan, the Ruifeng M4 automatic gear is indeed the best solution of the same level.
