There is a sentence in Haizi's "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" that makes people impressed: "From tomorrow onwards, be a happy person." Feed the horses, chop wood, and travel the world. Whenever I read this sentence, I can't help but feel a little impulse in my heart, and I want to pack my bags, escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and take a trip that I can walk. However, there are a few people who can really be so free, especially those who work hard in a foreign country, but the ideal is very full, but the reality is very bone.
However, we can also understand the journey like this, "Although life cannot be a trip that can be said and left, people with distant hearts must always be prepared to walk away!" "Just like a Beijing girl named Wu Shan, who drives a domestic car around the world, she has traveled to 104 countries and traveled to three continents in Asia, Europe and Africa.
Recently, Wu Shan's journey to Africa in a domestically produced car has once again attracted a lot of attention. She bought a domestic car of 180,000 yuan in China, and when the car arrived in Africa and completed various procedures, it cost a total of more than 400,000 yuan. We noticed that all the costs added up to buy a new car in China, but why did she insist on choosing a domestic car, and which car company's products can have such a big attraction?
The answer is: Changan UNI-K. The reason for choosing domestic cars, she said: "As a Chinese, it is an extremely proud thing to let the world know about Chinese manufacturing, which cannot be measured in money." I am willing to tell Africa with practical actions that the car is not only Toyota of Japan, but also Changan of China. ”
In the past, it was not an easy task for Chinese brand cars to go abroad, and the sense of presence abroad was not high. However, with the rapid rise of China's automobile industry, Chinese auto brands have a very prominent position in the world, and many domestic cars have been exported to overseas. Nowadays, it is a very proud thing to drive a domestic car abroad, which also makes the world realize the charm of Chinese manufacturing.
Export a domestic car for the most relaxing journey of freedom
For Wu Shan, travel has become an essential part of life. She has loved to travel since she was a child, and when she grew up, a walk-and-go trip became commonplace. From the beginning of the world travel, Wu Shan has always driven a domestic car, completely at her own expense to travel, just to chase her own dreams.
There was once a journey that was most eye-catching, starting from Beijing in June 2017, alone, driving a domestic car, across the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, and driving the car to the Americas. Watching her video, you can feel the thrill across the screen, and you can't help but be frightened. And these exotic styles, beautiful scenery, human kindness, the commonality of all things... All condensed in Wu Shan's travel stories.
Due to the impact of the epidemic abroad, Wu Shan's trip did not end, but turned her travel plans to China, the Beijing girl drove Chang'an UNI-K, spent 3 months, from Chongqing, all the way north to the west, across five provincial-level administrative regions, a total journey of more than 12,000 kilometers, and finally arrived in Ruoqiang, Xinjiang.
In this journey to challenge no man's land, Wu Shan drove her Chang'an UNI-K through the city, desert, Gobi, grassland and gravel canyon, an SUV that was once considered by countless people to be more suitable for urban road conditions, using practical actions to prove her strong strength and accompany her to feel the magnificence of the motherland's Great Northwest.
Not long ago, Wu Shan once again embarked on a global journey, this time to Africa, and when she chose a "partner" for herself, she was still willing to trust Changan Automobile, which had conquered various difficulties and obstacles with her, and decided to export UNI-K to Zimbabwe, Africa.
Initially I was curious, how much does it cost to export a domestic car from the country? Until Wu Shan posted the list, she was a little shocked, and it turned out that the cost of exporting a domestic car to abroad was really quite high.
When Wu Shan received the news that the car had arrived in Harare, she excitedly went to pick up the car. The moment UNI-K opened the container, what Wu Shan did not expect was that there were many workers around to watch, and they fell in love with this Chinese car at first sight and took a group photo in front of the car.
At this moment, all the costs are worth it, because UNI-K conquered the locals from the appearance of the appearance and passed on the strength of Chinese manufacturing. Its front face adopts a borderless design, breaking the traditional grille form, equipped with starship-style headlights, automatically inductive flat-out hidden door handles, and many details show a strong sense of technology.
UNI-K will be watched in any place. When Wu Shan drove UNI-K for the first time in Africa to wash the car, the staff took the UNI-K as a luxury car, wiped it over and over again, the vacuum cleaner also sucked over and over again, the hostess also took out her mobile phone and kept taking videos, including the eyes of passers-by who were also attracted by the appearance of UNI-K. Also in Botswana, UNI-K is like a star, attracting many people to watch the group photo.
Although UNI-K has encountered many difficulties in the process of exporting to Africa, when more locals look at it with appreciation, as a Chinese, the pride is indescribable, and it is not in vain to waste the hard work of the previous effort.
Relax and start enjoying your unforgettable trip to Africa.
High-tech delivers a sense of comfort and keeps your journey full
In the self-driving tour, the vehicle space requirements are very large, in addition to higher comfort can also make the self-driving tour less tired, Changan UNI-K performance in this regard makes Wu Shan very satisfied, the vehicle seat using innovative "zero gravity" seat filling layer, to achieve soft wrapping at the same time with good support, effectively alleviate the fatigue of the journey.
Camping during the rainy season in Botswana is not a wise choice, there are flying insects everywhere, clothes, tables are crawling with bugs, and even the firewood pile next to it is densely packed with all kinds of bugs.
In the end, Wu Shan chose to sleep in the car, the seat on the back side of the UNI-K was reclined, the space in the car was very spacious, relaxed, all kinds of sleeping positions were not a problem, and valuables could also be placed on the car, which was a lot of work.
Shooting beautiful scenery in the savannah is not an easy task, because you are likely to meet beasts of prey, so you can't get off the bus casually, fortunately, UN-IK has a very powerful panoramic skylight, whenever you encounter giraffes, wildebeest, elephants and zebras and other wild animals, you will open the panoramic skylight to capture some wonderful shots, which is too practical for a photography enthusiast who likes to travel, especially in the African savannah, which not only ensures safety, but also can shoot animals in all directions, and even animal hunting scenes.
In this trip to Africa, UNI-K's rich scientific and technological configuration has also become Wu Shan's right-hand man during the journey, such as: ACC adaptive cruise, 360 ° high-definition driving image assistance, IMS intelligent cockpit interaction system, etc.
Remember that when UNI-K first arrived in Africa, Wu Shan used the on-board 360 ° high-definition driving image to assist reversing, easily driving the car out of the container, which was very convenient and smarter.
From Kasane to Mahon, the whole journey is more than 600 kilometers, the maximum speed limit is 120km/h, but the road is a two-way single lane, when the vehicle needs to overtake, it can only be reversed to overtake, and there are often wild animals on the road, so there have been many traffic accidents on the road.
In order to prevent traffic accidents due to excessive speed, on the highway in Botswana, Wu Shan turned on a cruise control cruise, setting the speed to 100km/h to reduce the possibility of traffic accidents caused by excessive speed.
In addition, UNI-K also comes with its own high-definition driving recorder, which can record the driving conditions in four directions, even if a collision occurs, it can also be saved with one key, which is convenient and faster.
I have to say that during the trip, UNI-K is giving Wu Shan the most comfortable companionship in a unique way, and also making this trip to Africa full of warmth.
Enjoy the journey, the most important thing you want when you travel by car is to be at ease
Whether domestic or foreign, for long-distance travel, a car must not only have reliable quality, but also need strong power and the ability to cope with complex road conditions. The reason why Wu Shan chose Changan UNI-K, of course, she also liked these points, and UNI-K also became Wu Shan's most loyal partner in this african journey.
When departing for NAXI PAN National Park, the administrator reminded that a four-wheel drive vehicle was required to enter, at which time UNI-K once again gave Wu Shan a full face, a proper four-wheel drive vehicle, such as a fake replacement.
After entering NAXI PAN National Park, the sand was thicker than expected, and that's when UNI-K's BorgWarner AWD all-wheel drive system came into play. Two hours later, the campsite arrived, the camp staff were stunned to see UNI-K, in their opinion, this oversized wheels, low-lying design, plus four exhaust cylinders, should be a sports car, did not expect off-road performance but so powerful.
Driving UNI-K into Chobe National Park, driving on the road of the national park, after turning on the timely four-wheel drive function, you can enjoy the scenery while driving, UNI-K copes with the complex safari road conditions without any problems.
In fact, all this is due to the power system of Changan UNI-K, equipped with a new generation of Blue Whale 2.0T high-pressure direct injection engine, the maximum power is 171kW, the peak torque is 390N·m, and the power performance is calm and strong.
Just like Wu Shan's trip to Africa, UNI-K's excellent power performance is easy to face whether it is desert or urban roads, and you can experience agile power response at all times.
At the same time, the UNI-K is matched with the aisin 8AT hand self-contained gearbox with better smoothness, which shifts quickly and softly, even when walking in a congested city, it is still not detectable. Combined with BorgWarner's AWD all-wheel drive system, it shows strong driving performance and makes self-driving travel more comfortable.
It is worth mentioning that Blue Whale's new generation of 2.0T high-pressure direct injection engine is also equipped with an air-guided high-efficiency ultra-clean combustion system, so that every drop of gasoline can be fully burned. Wu Shan drove the UNI-K at a speed of 100km/h, with an average fuel consumption of 8 liters, which is already very fuel-efficient for the 2.0T model.
Accompanying users to go out and measure a world is an important mission of Changan UNI-K, just as Wu Shan's trust in Changan UNI-K, UNI-K responds with strength.
A domestic car that is enough to cope with the harsh field driving environment adds too many possibilities to the user's life. The strong power performance of Changan UNI-K allows the mood of self-driving travel to be released to the fullest.
Not only that, UNI-K is at ease in the face of all kinds of uncertain road conditions, or stop-and-go, or horse racing, and even rugged mountain road environment.
Accompanied by Chang'an UNI-K, Wu Shan's trip to Africa is full of fun. Although the UNI-K is a model that positions the city SUV, its excellent quality and strong power have been fully confirmed by Wu Shan's trip to Africa, and the excellent comfort and intimate and practical intelligent configuration make the journey more relaxed and comfortable.
summary
In each journey, discovering the beauty of the scenery and the thickness of history everywhere, even if it is just a strange taste from a city, is a kind of emotion engraved in the memory for travelers driving on the road.
As Wu Shan said, "For me, there is no end to travel. It's something I love, even if I'm not at this age, even if the trip will come to an end, but in the near future, I will set off again and walk on the road. ”
Of course, there is another partner in this memory that cannot be ignored, that is, the trustworthy Chang'an UNI-K. Having read Wu Shan's journey to Africa, have you also plucked up enough courage for a trip that says you can go?
