Different from the urban SUV, the characteristics of the hardcore off-road vehicle are very distinct, the appearance can bring people a strong visual shock, let people look at it impressively, and in the domineering and powerful shell, there is also a powerful engine to ensure strong off-road performance. Of course, the price of off-road vehicles will be relatively more expensive, especially some high-end models, such as JEEP's Wrangler, the price is basically more than 500,000, and the Mercedes-Benz big G is more than 2 million, ordinary people basically can't afford it. Of course, there are also many car companies to see this, launched some very close to the people of the hard school wild car, the price of thick off-road performance is strong, this issue we will introduce three such models, each has hard power.
The first is the mu-X Ranger of Jiangxi Isuzu.
The Ranger is also an old model and is one of the important choices for many civilian off-road players. The guidance price of the car is 18.18-25.38 million, the pricing is low, and the recommended model 2020 1.9T automatic four-wheel drive Jinyue version has 5 seats, and the guidance price is 212,800.
As an off-road vehicle, off-road performance is obviously crucial, and in this regard, the Ranger has an advantage. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.9T diesel engine code-named RZ4E, with a maximum horsepower of 166 hp and a peak torque of 360 Nm, matching the 6AT gearbox from Aisin. In fact, the diesel engine is the essence of the off-road vehicle, and the powerful torque can make climbing more easily. Not only that, but the car is also equipped with a rear axle differential lock and time-sharing four-wheel drive, plus a non-load-bearing body, which is fully equipped to challenge complex road conditions.
In addition to these core hardware, the Ranger's body parameters did not disappoint. With a length of 4830 mm and a wheelbase of 2845 mm, it is a mid-size SUV that does not compromise. However, the approach angle and departure angle are relatively general, 26 degrees and 21 degrees, respectively, but fortunately, there is a minimum ground clearance of 225 mm, which can ensure the passage to a large extent.
Of course, there are also many unsatisfactory places in the Rangers. On the one hand, the whole vehicle is indeed more general in the material, sitting in the car, looking at the basic hard material, and the sound insulation is also relatively poor, the speed is slightly faster, and even can not hear the voice of others. There is also the fact that the retention rate of jiangxi is relatively low, and if the car changes frequently, it is obviously not suitable.
The next model to be introduced is Zhengzhou Nissan's Tuda.
Compared to the Ranger, Tuda may be more like a little brother, but not inferior in terms of strength. The guiding price of the car is 16.98-24.83 million, which is also positioned as a medium-sized SUV, and the price is also relatively close to the people. The recommended model is the top version of the 2020 automatic four-wheel drive flagship version, the guidance price is 248,300, but the terminal has more than 20,000 discounts, and the actual reference price is only about 226,000.
First of all, Tuda's powertrain is still relatively good. It is equipped with a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine code-named QR25, with a maximum horsepower of 193 hp and a peak torque of 245 Nm, which matches a 7-speed automatic transmission and is also equipped with a time-sharing four-wheel drive system. Although this power is not as strong as the 2.0T turbo model, it lacks some explosive power. However, in actual experience, it is still completely competent on some non-paved roads, especially the rear axle differential lock and non-load-bearing body, and its time-sharing four-wheel drive system can increase the torque by 2.7 times, through some ordinary shell craters.
Of course, body parameters are also the key to measuring the performance of an off-road vehicle. First of all, in terms of size, the length of the car is 4882 mm, the wheelbase is 2850 mm, and it is in the upper middle level of the same class, and the space is still very spacious. And the approach angle reached 32 degrees, the departure angle is also 27 degrees, much better than the Ranger, plus the minimum ground clearance of 225 mm, as long as it is not to walk some big pits and bumps, there is basically no problem.
However, Tuda's shortcomings are also very obvious. First of all, for a car with about 250,000 landings, the interior design is indeed a bit pulled down, it looks very old, especially the steering wheel, it is difficult to make people have the desire to drive, and the materials are more general. Secondly, the vehicle noise control is relatively poor, once the speed is fast, tire noise, engine noise and wind noise will come to the face, affecting the riding experience.
The third model to be introduced is the Great Wall Tank 300.
To say that the hottest off-road vehicle at the moment, non-tank 300 is nothing, many places are queued up to pick up the car. The car guide price of 19.58-30.8 million, the pricing is relatively low, the recommended model 2021 off-road version 2.0T Conqueror, the guide price of 213,800, and the ranger is almost the same.
Compared with the first two models, the tank 300 is still very fond of the appearance, and the square shape is the same as the Wrangler and the Mercedes-Benz Big G, which is actually a very important symbol of an off-road vehicle. Of course, the appearance is only one aspect, the advantage of the tank 300 is very all-round. The first is power, powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine code-named E20CB, with a maximum horsepower of 227 hp and a peak torque of 387 Nm, matching an 8AT gearbox, and also equipped with a time-sharing four-wheel drive system. This set of power is still completely sufficient for off-road, whether it is starting or rear acceleration and explosive force are at ease, coupled with the front and rear axle differential locks and non-load-bearing body, it is even more powerful.
If that's enough, the Tank 300 certainly isn't that hot. In terms of body parameters, it reflects its advantages. The approach angle is 33 degrees, the departure angle reaches 34 degrees, and there is a longitudinal passage angle of 23.1 degrees, a maximum wading depth of 700 mm, and a minimum ground clearance of 224 mm. So in comparison, in terms of off-road performance, the tank 300 is the strongest of the three cars.
Not only that, the general off-road vehicle will give people a rougher feeling, especially the interior, and the workmanship is basically not much better. But the tank 300 is different, sitting in the car can still give people a strong sense of high-end. The interior materials are very thick, and there are soft materials everywhere, chrome trim strips and wood grain decorative panels, coupled with the air conditioning outlet similar to the aircraft turbine and the design of the double screen, which is also very well done in the creation of a sense of technology. This is something that other models at the same price point cannot do, and it is also the key to the success of the Tank 300.
Of course, the Tank 300 also has a lot of unsatisfactory places. On the one hand, the trunk space is somewhat small, and it is necessary to use a larger force when closing, otherwise it may not be closed, which is still somewhat inconvenient. Secondly, the storage space in the front and rear rows is somewhat insufficient, and you need to bring some bits and pieces of things when you go out, which may not be easy to put. There is also a bit of fuel consumption, the owner measured 100 kilometers is basically about 12.9 liters.
Comments: The above three hardcore off-road vehicles, the comprehensive strength is beyond doubt, each one is very strong. As a model using diesel engines, the Ranger has a strong explosive power and is very suitable for pure off-road. The comprehensive performance of Nissan Tuda is relatively strong, taking into account the urban and off-road performance, and even in the city, thanks to the seat of the Nissan large sofa, it has good comfort and the price is not expensive. Tank 300 people think that these three cars are the strongest, although not suitable for driving on urban roads, after all, the fuel consumption is higher, but whether it is power, configuration or off-road performance is not strong, the price is also very conscientious, suitable for most civilian off-road enthusiasts. Well, we'll talk about this in this issue and see you in the next issue.
