This year, the head of the net can really make themselves cry and laugh, pay attention to the car know that there is a car that we affectionately call "small steel cannon", and the car with these three words first has excellent performance, which also lays the foundation for the merchant to highlight the performance of their own models. However, it may be that the aura of "small steel cannon" or "steel cannon car" is too dazzling, and now many cats and dogs say that they are "small steel cannons." ”
Kaiyi everyone knows it, do not know and nothing, it is a sense of existence is not strong domestic car brand, its Xuanjie Pro is known as a small steel cannon, but also known as "all-round small steel cannon", my God, domestic steel cannon is also all-powerful, what is the strength of this car?
Let's first look at the definition of a small steel cannon. According to the data, the cars that can be called small steel cannons are some of the "models are relatively compact (generally hatchbacks), sporty and powerful cars, such cars have a short body, handsome appearance, agile control, surging power, lightweight body..." And the small steel cannon we think of in the conventional is the Golf GTI, that is to say, the Golf GTI is the standard of the small steel cannon model, so let's see if the Kaiyi Xuanjie Pro is qualified enough.
First of all, Kaiyi Xuanjie Pro is a compact SUV, compact is compact, but the SUV has basically lost the qualification of being called "small steel cannon", relatively speaking, the power of the SUV has certain advantages over the car, but the handling due to the innate factors of the body itself, the overall control of the SUV is weaker than the car, the Xuanjie Pro will not be an exception.
Secondly, look at the power, Xuanjie Pro is equipped with a 1.5T engine, matching the CVT gearbox, Whether the CVT gearbox can move up Everyone has a number, here is not much to say. The maximum horsepower of the Xuanjie Pro engine is only 156 horses, the peak torque is 230 Nm, which is the standard of the family SUV, and the difference between the "small steel cannon" is too far, and it also adopts a torsion beam type non-independent rear suspension, saying that this car has sporty performance Is there really anyone who believes?
Maybe we may not feel anything just by looking at the data of The Dazzling Pro, so let's compare the golf GTI, the representative of the real "small steel cannon". GTI is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the maximum horsepower of 220 horses, peak torque of 350 Nm, rear multi-link independent suspension, compared to the name of the Xuanjie Pro small steel gun in addition to the manufacturer to give it a hard press, some unprofessional media blown out, there is no other better explanation.
In fact, domestic manufacturers call themselves small steel cannons are not only Kaiyi, when Lynk & Co 03+ came out, it also wore the aura of "small steel cannons", but its positioning should be a coupe. Lynk & Co's home can play the reputation of "small steel cannon" or Lynk & Co 02 Hatchback. The hatchback compact sedan, equipped with 254 hp, 350 Nm 2.0T engine, multi-link rear independent suspension, this is the configuration and performance of a "small steel cannon".
In fact, there are some so-called "small steel cannons" we must pay attention to, may be the same brand you bought, the same car series is not necessarily "small steel cannons". For example, the BMW 1 Series hatchback, equipped with 2.0T can be called a "small steel cannon", but the one equipped with a three-cylinder engine is not, so these should be paid attention to.
So does the "small steel cannon" have to start at 2.0T? Not necessarily, for example, some French small steel guns, using 1.6T engines, but the horsepower is also about 200 horses, and although the French car is also used for non-independent rear suspension, the French system is still trustworthy for the adjustment of the chassis.
So, what should a real "little steel cannon" have? High horsepower, excellent handling, excellent bending performance, and hatchback construction. And these Kaiyi Xuanjie Pro should not have, manufacturers want a good gimmick is OK, but to face themselves, do not be arrogant and thin at the same time can not be arrogant, domestic cars or to face themselves do not want to rely on gimmicks to gain eyeballs all day long, now domestic consumers are really not good at cheating.
