Pickup truck models may be a bit distant for most consumers, but like models such as MPV, they will be more suitable than other models in specific scenarios. In the past, a considerable part of our country's pickup truck models are used for government departments, and their strong off-road capabilities, excellent loading capacity and certain comfort have always been required by road maintenance, forestry, engineering repair and other industries.
At the current level of 150,000 yuan, Jiangling Yuhu 7, as an old product, has been loved by many government departments, but with the emergence of many new pickups, its status has begun to be challenged, especially the emergence of SAIC Maxus T70. So what is the strength of these two cars? Today we bring the comparison between SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 and Jiangling Yuhu 7, which has certain reference significance for both the industry and individual consumers.
Before the beginning of the main text, we first explain that the models compared this time are SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 2021 diesel automatic four-wheel drive Australian version long box high chassis (guidance price: 147,800 yuan) and Jiangling Yuhu 7 2.0T hand-integrated four-wheel drive long-axis comfort version (guidance price: 138,300 yuan), but because the latter is the latest annual redesign model, so the actual terminal price of the two is similar, there is a certain comparative significance.
Part 1 New and old painting style Who is more pleasing?
First of all, let's talk about the appearance, the style of the two pickup truck models in the appearance level is still similar, both take the rugged and hard design route, which is also due to the attributes of the pickup model itself and the overall age of the target customer is more inclined to the off-road style. However, with the change of the main consumer population in the automobile market, whether it is an ordinary family car or today's pickup truck, it is consciously moving closer to the direction of rejuvenation in terms of design.
In terms of details, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian edition is closer to the design style of passenger cars, the large air intake grille is wrapped in chrome trim, the middle net area is blackened - the irregular upper and lower honeycomb grille makes the front face sharper, while the corner of the eye headlight group and the angular front bumper shape further strengthen the hardcore atmosphere, overall it is still hardcore with some exquisiteness. In terms of overall look and feel, saicus MAXUS T70 Australian version will also look younger - after all, today's consumers are actually not too interested in the large area of chrome trim on the front face.
The Jiangling Yuhu 7 is relatively more traditional, the overall use of the latest family design of the Yuhu model, compared to the previous generation of models The grille is also large, the light group shape is more slender than the T70, both cars are halogen light sources, but LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights such a configuration is not absent, or more practical.
Come to the side, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian version of the side shape as a whole is relatively simple, the waist line from the position of the front wheel arch to the rear of the cockpit and the tail line connected, through the SAIC Maxus spider custom platform, you can also choose stainless steel roll cage, skylight and other configurations, the price is not expensive, the reliability and safety of the original plant is more secure.
And it is interesting that whether it is SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian version or Yuhu 7, their wheel eyebrows do not use conventional black anti-scrapers, but adopt the same color wheel arch design, the body side of the unity is stronger.
The tail box part of SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian Edition and Yuhu 7 also provides a cargo case rope hook, which can better and effectively ensure that the goods will not be dumped and lost, but from the perspective of shape, the rope hook of SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian Edition is more designed.
SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian Edition uses 255/60 R18 front and rear off-road tires, which will be slightly larger in size than the 245/70 R17 of the Yuhu 7 and have a higher visual effect, but the latter's tire thickness may have a certain advantage in off-road and be more durable.
Tail styling, since a few years ago after the pickup truck policy was lifted, we finally do not have to see the evil reflective strip and spray paint, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian version of the tail is very simple, in addition to the RELIEF process to create the MAXUS LOGO words and the tail camera in fact can not see other design elements, the owner can spend 600 yuan on the official website to select spraying cargo box treasure, this price is still relatively affordable, as a pickup truck This configuration can indeed play a certain protective role in the cargo box. The rear of the Domain Tiger 7 is somewhat single, still a traditional pickup truck, and the model name is simply identified in chrome font.
Overall, although the design style of the two cars in the appearance takes the rough and hard route, the AUSTRALIAN version of saic motor MAXUS MAXUS T70 in details will be more refined, and the decoration of various chrome trim strips is biased towards the design style of passenger cars.
Part 2 Minimalist interior Technology first
In terms of interior, whether it is SAIC Maxus T70 Australian version or Yuhu 7, they are trying to get closer to the design ideas of passenger cars, in fact, this is also a major trend of the current pickup truck models, with the liberation of the pickup truck policy, this highly practical model will usher in more individual buyers, and their requirements for the interior are also higher. Against this backdrop, let's judge how the interiors of these two cars are.
SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian Edition and Yuhu 7 both adopt a symmetrical interior design, the overall elements are not much, relatively simple. Like the difference in appearance, saicus MAXUS T70 Australian version uses more silver decorative parts, the metal sense is more intense; the Domain Tiger 7 is too plain, the sense of refinement is slightly inferior. At the same time, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian edition also adopts a brown seat that is not commonly used in pickup truck models, the overall color is black and brown color, effectively improving the visual sense of luxury in the car, in SAIC Maxus's spider custom platform, you can also optionally install power seats and seat heating functions, comfort will be higher; Yuhu 7 is a conventional black interior. Of course, the lines and tones are relatively abstract, in fact, the materials used can reflect the gap in the sense of grade.
Most pickup truck models use hard plastic materials, on the one hand, for cost reasons, on the other hand, the aging degree of long-term use is not so obvious, more resistant to manufacturing. However, saic motor Maxus T70 Australian version uses more imitation leather materials and slugging process materials, which will be more advanced in touch and more obvious in the sense of home. The Domain Tiger 7 is inferior in this regard, although the seat is also made of imitation leather material, but the entire central control area and the door panel area are still dominated by hard plastic.
However, the biggest difference in the interior of the two cars is the central control area. The most conspicuous is the central touch screen, SAIC Maxus T70 Australian version of the central screen is more excellent in terms of size or display accuracy than the screen of the Domain Tiger 7, although neither of them has announced the size, but from the look and feel, the former is 10.3 inches, and the latter size is not small, the suspension design used, but the functionality is slightly monotonous, in terms of resolution is also SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian version of the central screen is more refined.
If placed ten years ago or even five years ago, most consumers are not particularly concerned about the car machine system, but in the Internet era, people's lifestyles have changed, whether for young or old consumers, there are always some needs that need to be met by the car machine system, and SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian version will be ahead of the Domain Tiger 7 in this regard.
In terms of function, saicus MAXUS T70 Australian version also has a 360 ° panoramic image function, which is still quite practical for a large car of more than 5 meters, and the reversing image of the Domain Tiger 7 can only be said to meet the basic needs.
In the most important safety configuration, the Domain Tiger 7 is not equipped with ESP body stability control system, from the underlying logic of the manufacturer's positioning of this car is more like a supplement to the small card, rather than a passenger pickup truck.
In the most important safety configuration, the Domain Tiger 7 is not equipped with ESP body stability control system, from the underlying logic, the manufacturer's positioning of this car is more like a supplement to the small card, rather than a passenger pickup truck.
In terms of comfort configuration, the same SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian version is more abundant, the front seat heating function is more friendly for friends in the north, while the rear seat support recline can further expand the loading space, cruise control, keyless entry, rearview mirror heating function, rear air conditioning outlet, automatic air conditioning, these functions are more practical and very commonly used. This point domain tiger 7 is not so rich, only equipped with cruise control and driver's seat keyless entry function.
Part 3 Space PK wins and loses
Space part, because the models we chose to compare this time are long-shaft models, so the loading space is absolutely excellent, even if there is a difference in the volume of the cargo box, it does not have much impact, we mainly examine the front and rear space of the two cars in the space part to meet the comfort of five people, which is especially important for some teams.
In terms of front space, we can see that the two models are worthy of pickup truck models, the high chassis brings excellent vision and passability, while the high body also ensures the head space of the front driver, even if the driver with a height of 1.83m and a large body can get a punch in the head space of the MAXUS T70 Australian version of SAIC Maxus, The driver with a height of 1.78m can also get more than one punch head space on the Domain Tiger 7, and both cars perform very well in this regard, and there will be no feeling of depression.
In the rear space part, the two cars also maintained an excellent standard, and the SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian edition can get more than two punches of leg space and a punch and two fingers of head space, coupled with the rear air conditioning outlet, even if the rear seat is full, you can get good comfort. The gap between the domain tiger 7 is not large, the height of 1.78m experiencers in the back row of the domain tiger 7 can get a punch and a slap of the leg space and more than a punch of the head space, the overall cushion softness is also moderate, but unfortunately there is no rear discharge air outlet in the winter or summer will be slightly uncomfortable.
Both cars in the space part show the strong advantages of pickup truck models, thanks to the ultra-long wheelbase, the manufacturer has more margins in the layout of the seating space.
Part 4 Power vs T70 wins
Power part, the choice of these two pickup truck models will be much more than our common passenger cars, but SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 models will choose more, currently on sale in the model, consumers can buy 2.0T gasoline engine, 2.0T diesel engine and 2.4L naturally aspirated engine three, while manual transmission, automatic transmission can also be selected, The Domain Tiger 7 is currently a 2.0T engine, but there are also two engines to choose from, gasoline and diesel, and everyone can decide which powertrain to buy according to their own usage habits and scenarios.
The models we compare today are all models equipped with 2.0T diesel engines, and for most cases, 2.0T diesel engines are also more suitable, because considering that there are often loaded cargo scenarios, so the ultra-high torque of diesel engines is more suitable for pickup truck models.
SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian edition of the 2.0T diesel engine with a maximum power of 120kW and a peak torque of 400N·m, matched with a 6AT automatic transmission, this SAIC Π diesel engine performs very well in NVH and fuel economy, the comprehensive fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 7.5L/100km, and there are three driving modes to choose from, and the four-wheel drive also has three modes.
The 2.0T diesel engine equipped with the Yuhu 7 has a maximum power of 104kW and a peak torque of 350N·m, which will have certain disadvantages in parameters compared to the engine of the MAXUS T70 Australian version of SAIC Maxus, but it is equipped with an 8AT automatic transmission.
But the maximum power of 104kW is actually driving this huge pickup truck model is still slightly difficult, you know, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 three engines, even the poor power of the 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, its book parameters also have a maximum power of 118kW.
In terms of chassis, both cars use non-load-bearing bodies, and both are four-wheel drive driving forms, which is also the basis for laying the foundation for the strong off-road capabilities of pickup truck models. SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian edition is the front double wishbone spiral independent suspension, rear full gradient leaf spring non-independent suspension settings, in the off-road mode there are also road, snow, wading, sand and gravel, mountain five modes can be selected, SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian version of this full gradient leaf spring non-independent suspension can improve comfort on the basis of ensuring the bearing capacity, the side reflects the characteristics of the vehicle in the dynamic performance of the passenger car alignment.
The suspension structure of the Yuhu 7 is the independent suspension of the front double cross-arm coil spring, which does a good job in roll suppression, and the rear suspension is an ordinary leaf spring non-independent suspension, which is similar to the supplement we said above as a pickup truck, and the bearing capacity is excellent. Both cars need to be equipped with an optional differential lock on the rear axle, but fortunately the price is not expensive.
Full text summary: In fact, from the comparison of all aspects, it can be seen that SAIC Maxus MAXUS T70 Australian edition is biased towards the development of passenger car attributes in terms of both exterior interior and configuration, and its main purpose is to improve the comfort of driving and riding, although it is slightly higher than the Domain Tiger 7 in terms of pricing, but considering the terminal price, as well as the advantages of product strength, in fact, saicus MAXUS T70 Australian version of SAIC Maxus T70 Australian version will be more cost-effective. SAIC Maxus also has this rich overseas operation experience and huge overseas market sales, has been exported to 51 countries, in Australia, Chile and other countries also set a record of first sales, which also for its continuous improvement of product performance has accumulated valuable resources. In addition, it also provides a unique C2B customization model in the industry, further enhancing the competitiveness of the product. The advantage of The Domain Tiger 7 is that the sales time is long and the overall ownership is high. Therefore, how to choose depends on everyone's needs
