All along, SUV because of its multi-functional multi-purpose large space and other characteristics, favored by market consumers, and the 100,000-150,000 yuan SUV market, but also because of the price in line with the hearts of most people and fierce competition. It is not difficult to see the current market, 100,000-150,000 yuan of compact SUV market, whether joint venture or independent brand, there are many models to choose from, but in so many brand models to choose the best cost performance is more difficult. Today, we will test drive a domestic compact SUV - FAW Besturn T55, as an SUV model that fills the gap in the field of FAW Besturn, to see if it can meet everyone's daily car needs.
The appearance is full of brand recognition
As a compact SUV, the Pentium T55 is between the Pentium T33 and the Pentium T77, with body dimensions of 4437/1850/1625mm and wheelbase of 2650mm. Although the Besturn T55 is the first SUV born of FAW Besturn's infinite equation FMA architecture, it still has a certain brand recognition from the outside to the inside.
First of all, the front face is a family-style "big mouth", and there are "digital raindrops" with 3D stereoscopic presentations in the "big mouth", and the real car will look thicker and calmer. The front and rear headlights are made of Chinese bronze weapons "Ge", although they are somewhat similar to the Cadillac headlight group, but they are still very recognizable.
In addition, the body of the Pentium T55 is no longer a monotonous flat design, and the body has a distinct sense of undulation. The side adopts a slipback shape, and it is reported that the suspended roof is with pressure wind efficiency.
The test drive model is equipped with 18-inch "tuning fork" wheels (the top model is 19 inches), and the appearance of the whole vehicle without exception is to highlight the sense of sport that young people need.
Interior style "East meets West"
Although the Pentium T55 adopts a family-style wrap-around cockpit, it is still different in detail. The center console and the gear area are all brushed, and the leather wrapping of the seats, door panels and other parts is supplemented by an intricate stitching process, which is even more luxurious than the Pentium T77.
The center console position adopts a dual 12.3-inch simulcast design, and the flat-bottomed double-spoke multi-function leather steering wheel is matched with the electronic gear. The air conditioning control area is the first time that the button design is adopted, which is also more convenient for the driver to operate blindly.
The car is equipped with the Pentium D-Life 5.2 system, which has also been used in the new B70 and T77. This new system is based on the previous UI has been re-optimized, the speed of the car machine reaction is fast, if it is the top model will also be equipped with YOMI virtual sister, but this function seems that not everyone will like.
Motivated to meet everyday needs
The power combination of the Pentium T55 is "1.5T engine + 7 wet-blocking dual-clutch transmission", this 1.5T engine is the third generation of FAW Besturn Intelligent Engine, the maximum horsepower is 169 hp, the peak torque is 258 Nm, as a positioning home urban SUV, the power level also belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the same level of SUVs. The actual comprehensive fuel consumption of the 1.5T engine is 8.5L/100km, which is not particularly brilliant in the same level, but it can also reach the decent level.
Due to the fact that the body and wheelbase of the Pentium T55 are not large, and the steering wheel is relatively light, the new car is easier to get started for the first time, and the habits of this car can be understood in a short time. Starting at a low speed, the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission shifts smoothly, and the action of stepping on the throttle to upgrade is also relatively positive. If you drive in a congested part of the city, you will not feel too restless.
Although the rear suspension adopts a torsion beam structure, when passing through some slight bumps, the filter shock on the road surface is still very clean and sharp, the actual driving stability is not bad, and the chassis is relatively good at isolating the road noise. Of course, if you want to go through some too high speed bumps, the rear section of the suspension will be a little overwhelmed, but in the competitors at the same price, the chassis level is still relatively high.
summary
After test driving the Pentium T55, it is more like a more dexterous Pentium T77 Pro, because of its small size, so it has a more flexible and lightweight driving sense. In addition, the Pentium T55 has a youthful design style that matches the new B70. Now there are many competitors in the 100,000-150,000 yuan level compact SUV market, including Geely ICON, Changan CS55 PLUS, Trumpchi GS4 and so on. However, due to the Pentium T55's more cost-effective configuration, if the brand effect can be done, I believe that the new car can seize its own market share in the compact SUV market.
