When it comes to American cars, we can think of the words big, muscle shape, and large displacement, but now the indisputable fact is that most of the sales in the Huamei series are not particularly brilliant, and they need to rely on the impact of big discounts to get sales. For domestic consumers this is actually still good, you can take a look at most of the American cars, the discount is so high that you are surprised, today we come to talk about a medium-sized SUV, this model is Chevrolet's explorer, the manufacturer's guidance price of 169,900 yuan to 239,900 yuan, the price of this model is quite favorable. Of course, the specific offer must also consult the local dealer.
The shape of the whole car is full of a good sense of muscle, which can indeed make you think of Transformers, split headlights, hard hexagonal black grille, with a good sense of sharpness, and the intake net uses more chrome trim strips to decorate, equipped with sports surround, the sense of appearance is quite good, and it is easy to impress young consumers. It is worth mentioning that the entire series of Explorers is equipped with LED near and far light headlights.
From the side, the body waistline is not straight, with a little curved amplitude, and the position design of the C-pillar looks more like an elongated model. This Chevrolet Explorer is a medium-sized SUV, with a length, width and height of 4646/1843/1684mm, and a wheelbase of 2725mm, which is still a significant gap from the benchmark Highlander of mid-level cars.
The design of the rear of the model is relatively simple, with square exhaust pipes (high with a round circle of bilateral sides), through-type chrome trims, and blackened taillights have a good aesthetic. Of course, such a design is obviously not as handsome as the through-type taillights.
Looking at the interior design, I think the reason why Chevrolet is not selling too well, in fact, has a relatively large correlation with its interior, even if it is a red and black double-colored interior, it still looks relatively simple, and there are not many red lines and only a few. In the central control part, this explorer is equipped with an eight-inch floating LCD screen. As for the driving computer screen, the design of the small screen plus the gun barrel dashboard is adopted, which looks simpler.
The seat configuration is really high, equipped with leather material, which is indeed relatively rare in the joint venture car at the same price, and it is equipped with the function of front row heating.
The rear seating space is ideal, and with the exception of the entry-level model, the entire range is equipped with a openable panoramic sunroof. Of course, if you buy the starter version, it is also equipped with a small electric sunroof.
Powertrain, the Explorer has 1.5T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, both of which are four-cylinder engines with maximum power of 169 hp and 237 hp, respectively, peak torques of 250 N·m and 350 N·m, of which the 2.0T is also equipped with variable cylinder technology and a 48V light hybrid system. Matching the 1.5T is a six-speed automatic transmission, and the 2.0T is matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission, of which the 2.0T high-end model is also equipped with a timely four-wheel drive. So how is the sales volume of such a balanced product at the terminal? Sales for the full year of 2021 were 43,200 units, which is indeed relatively sluggish. Interestingly, 55% of consumers buy a 1.5T powertrain, so most of the consumers who buy this SUV value the cost performance and more affordable price.
