Scorpio is energetic and has a goal for life, and vows not to give up until he achieves his goal. Therefore, the multi-functional, multi-purpose pickup is very suitable for the Scorpio spirit.
Putting the eyelid card market, I think isuzu's new generation D-MAX and Toyota Tantu are more in line with the Scorpio tone.
The new D-MAX
As a high-end pickup truck with a global footprint, D-MAX has earned the loyalty of more than 3 million users worldwide.
In 2021, the new D-MAX will be officially launched in China. The new car is is Isuzu's seventh-generation D-MAX model, the appearance and interior have been fully upgraded, and the power is the ORIGINAL JINLAN POWER RZ4E 1.9T diesel engine, which matches the 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission, and is divided into 6 models according to different configurations, and the price range is 14.98-21.78 million yuan.
The new D-MAX first exposed is that the whole series of products has seven theme colors, covering "black, white, gray, blue, orange, yellow, silver", these seven colors represent the seven ultimate landscapes around the world, both the colors that pay tribute to the humanities and geology, and also the meaning that can make the user's car life become colorful and colorful.
In addition to aesthetics, body color also involves personality and safety, which is the category of automobile culture. Under the influence of the pickup truck unbanning policy, the mainland pickup truck market is paying more and more attention to the integration with the international mature market, so the seven major body colors have become product publicity points and also release a signal: D-MAX, which pays attention to the quality of ingenuity, is also an "international tide", which has always had a benchmarking effect on the upward development of the mainland pickup truck industry.
This generation of D-MAX attaches great importance to the standard comfort configuration and interactive functions, the former is represented by leather seats and rear air conditioning air outlets, the latter is characterized by a multi-function steering wheel, 9-inch central control large screen, Bluetooth/car phone, voice control and so on. In addition, practical features that can effectively enhance the car experience are also standard, such as: automatic induction wipers, GPS navigation systems, LCD dashboards and tire pressure monitoring.
In the top model, the functional and technology configuration is an additional formula, and the automatic air conditioning, dual-zone air conditioning, main/passenger seat electric adjustment + heating, keyless start/remote start, adaptive cruise, lane keeping, parallel assist, collision avoidance warning system, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, lane correction system, parking assistance system, blind zone monitoring, 360 ° surround view image, automatic anti-glare inner rearview mirror, etc. in the configuration table are dazzling.
The new D-MAX is equipped with isuZU's original Jinlan-powered RZ4E 1.9T diesel engine, with a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 360 N m. The drivetrain is 6-speed, whether mated to a manual or automatic transmission. The 4WD model uses a time-sharing 4WD system with an electronically controlled differential lock.
The RZ4E 1.9T diesel engine has very little noise, and driving on flat paved roads is completely free of the harsh noise of diesel engines. When climbing, although the displacement of the engine is not large, the characteristics of large torque are still very obvious.
The new D-MAX car manufacturing technology is advanced and the car manufacturing concept is avant-garde. The new D-MAX uses a large-section longitudinal beam + reinforced 8-beam structure of the Shield chassis, and 46% of the high-strength steel is applied to key parts such as pillars and beams, making the chassis lighter and stiffer by 23%.
The new D-MAX body features dust-proof "zero carry-over panels" technology, special sealing at the seams, and an ultra-high-strength roof to avoid weakness.
In terms of suspension, the upper and lower control arms of the new D-MAX front double wishbone suspension have been upgraded to a parallel design with higher torsional levels and fatigue resistance. In order to increase comfort and handling, the travel of the new D-MAX front suspension has been increased, with a maximum suspension travel of 545mm and a 17% thickened anti-roll bar, which greatly improves the dynamic driving performance of the whole vehicle.
The new D-MAX rear suspension adopts 2+1 leaf spring non-independent suspension, although the number of leaf springs is 3 pieces, but due to the higher chromium content in the steel plate material, the overall weight is lighter under the same spring rate, and the load capacity of 5 pieces of steel plate can also be reached. In addition, the new D-MAX rear suspension system is mounted at a more upright angle, providing better road ride comfort and greater off-road capability.
