Layout in advance to drink "head soup".
On January 12, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Production and Registration Management of Light Trucks and Small and Micro Passenger Vehicles" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), which made clear requirements for the technical parameters of the models, and solved the problems of "large tons and small standards" of light trucks, as well as illegal modification of small and micro passenger cars, mixed loading of passengers and goods from the source. One of the requirements is that the engine carried by the light truck cannot have a displacement greater than 2.5 liters (the refrigerated car is not more than 3.0 liters).
In fact, before the arrival of the new regulations, Jiangling Light Truck has quietly laid out five 2.5L powertrains, codenamed 493, 495, 4D25, D20 and D25. It is worth noting that Jiangling Light Truck previously used a 2.8L engine, and the official said that although these five sets of 2.5L engines are less in displacement, their power twist does not drop but rises, and the fuel consumption data of 100 kilometers is lower.
This is obviously good news for friends who want to buy light trucks to start a business, but does the 2.5L engine really have such a strong strength? Today, Brother Reels has a taste of two 2.5L engines code-named 493 and 495.
"It opens more like a pickup"
First of all, the first test drive was the Jiangling 493 engine. Although this engine has been reduced to a displacement of 2.5L, its 90kW/330N·m book data is enough to make it comparable to the 2.8L engine. Brother Ruan learned that the Jiangling 493 engine adopts high-efficiency small volute supercharger technology, and the maximum torque speed range is also expanded from the original 1600-2400r/min to 1400-2500r/min.
Judging from the feeling of test driving the Jiangling Kaiyun body, Brother Reel believes that this car is better to drive than the previous Jiangling light truck equipped with a 2.8L engine. After hanging up the 2nd gear, the power output is also more abundant (most trucks have no problem hanging the 2nd gear to start at all, and the 1st gear is mainly used for ramp starting). In addition, the transmission system matches the Getrag five-speed manual transmission, due to the synchronizer, the speed-up ability of the whole vehicle is also very strong, coupled with the short stroke of the clutch pedal, the combination point is relatively clear, this car to the reel brother feels more like a small pickup truck. However, the braking effect is not linear enough for passenger cars, but the braking force in the first half is very strong, and the feedback force of the brake pedal is also more appropriate.
Another 2.5L engine code-named 495 can be simply understood as an upgraded version of the 493 engine, with a maximum power of 105 kW and a peak torque of 350 N·m. The 495 engine uses a more wear-resistant and strong cylinder block material, and the supercharger also uses garrett fourth-generation superchargers, which consume less oil and improve power. The Jiangling Kaiyun middle body equipped with the 495 engine can be more obviously felt that its power output is stronger than that of the 493 engine, and its performance in starting, accelerating and climbing is more confident.
In terms of chassis, the entire chassis of Jiangling Light Truck adopts Baosteel high-strength steel structure, which is more lightweight and outstanding. The upgraded all-wire tires have less rolling resistance and are of great help in reducing fuel consumption. In addition, the cargo boxes of various sizes and material combinations ensure lightweight while also achieving full-scene coverage, which can better meet the needs of consumers.
Maintenance costs are half the price
For light trucks, in addition to being powerful enough, the cost of using the car is low enough is also a point of great concern to users, and the Jiangling 493 engine and 495 engine have been greatly reduced in the cost of using the car. Officials said that the two engines adopted cylinderless liner technology, as well as piston rings for thinning and flexible treatment, reduced diesel consumption by 1% and oil consumption by 50%. In addition, the oil was upgraded from the original CI to a higher grade CK, and the oil change mileage of the 493 engine was increased from 10,000 kilometers to 20,000 kilometers, while the oil change mileage of the 495 engine was increased from 20,000 kilometers to 40,000 kilometers. This can save users nearly half of the cost of using the car.
It is worth saying that after third-party research, the single maintenance cost of Jiangling Engine, the failure rate of thousands of units and customer satisfaction ranked first among the competing engines. Judging from this test drive, the new 2.5L engine of Jiangling Light Truck is expected to continue the good market reputation.
Write at the end
The biggest feeling of this test drive to Brother Reel is that the new 2.5L engine of Jiangling Light Truck can better solve the pain points of the owner's car on the basis of complying with the new regulations of the blue card. Looking at the domestic light truck market, Jiangling light truck is one of the few car companies that took the lead in completing the layout.
As the car buyer group becomes younger, consumers prefer to choose a light truck equipped with an automatic transmission. Brother Ruan learned that the Jiangling light truck that matches the AMT automatic is expected to be officially unveiled in August this year, which can greatly reduce the fatigue of users who often run the city, and friends who want to start may wish to pay more attention to it.
