When The new Qijun was just launched last year, there was a strong interest in this old and strong Japanese SUV, and it was very attractive to me that the strict and conservative Japanese were able to create such an absolutely advanced product.
After all, the replacement of CR-V and RAV4 is still too conservative, and the blindfold can guess a strong Smell of Japanese cars in terms of power, handling, positioning, and technology configuration.
Soon in the 4S store to try the new Qi Jun, the biggest feeling is two points:
1, VC-Turbo's technical skills are not covered, the quietness is far more than the EA888 I use, and the smoothness and fuel saving ability exceed the 2.0L and 1.5T engines of honda and Toyota.
2, intelligent technology is very open, the degree of open source of the built-in car machine system is more expansive than Toyota and Honda, and it has reached the standard of some domestic cars.
It can be seen that in fact, Dongfeng Nissan should be more focused on responding to the demands of the Chinese market, which also makes this Japanese SUV have two products that are most needed Chinese better control and stronger sense of intelligence.
The newly developed VC-Turbo, unabashedly said that although it is a three-cylinder engine, the design and production of the power structure determine that its smoothness is better than many four-cylinder engines, especially the performance of smooth and quiet performance in terms of idle speed is very good, which stems from Nissan's targeted efforts in earthquake resistance.
Based on this, in fact, the experience of daily use, if I don't tell you that this is a three-cylinder machine, you will not have the consciousness to think at all, because its smoothness is above the four-cylinder machine.
Compared with the previous generation of X-Trail, the biggest use of the new X-Trail is to drive a more European car, because the emergence of Turbo has greatly improved the power performance.
And I have also made a direct comparison, because the high compression ratio and the characteristics of larger horsepower squeezing make it the fastest SUV in this class, and the acceleration of 8.1 seconds is unmatched by Haoying (8.6 seconds), RAV4 (10.7 seconds), and Tuyue (9.1 seconds).
Because of the lack of a cylinder block and more technical implantation, large torque can easily cope with various working conditions and gives the fuel consumption a clear advantage, its comprehensive fuel consumption has been 10% or more lower than the Honda 1.5T.
If you use a sentence to comment, then the achievement of the new X-Trail in the power system is that while not bringing bad car feelings, the power and fuel consumption of the whole vehicle have been upgraded in a new round, and more runners of the same level have been outperformed.
There may be many people in the market who have misunderstandings and deviations about X-Trail, all of which stem from the fact that there is no real test drive.
The reason why the new X-Trail is called new is by no means an upgrade of the power system and intelligent sense of technology, in fact, Nissan's definition of this car has never been a simple SUV.
The earliest explanation of the SUV is the multi-purpose vehicle, it is true that the SUV of that year has a certain degree of passability and the ability to get out of trouble, but at present, with the improvement of road conditions and the change of user demands, in fact, the ability of suVs to get out of trouble is basically nothing.
But Qijun has always insisted on doing the best SUV to get rid of difficulties, its precise positioning, is able to get rid of the city SUV in the general bad road conditions, with the space, comfort, power, control of the city SUV, but also has a certain ability of the off-road vehicle to get out of trouble.
The core key is to have a good body rigidity and lightweight design scheme, but also to have a smarter four-wheel drive system, for users who are less likely to cross-country to disintegrate anxiety, while the whole vehicle also has to have a calm logic to get out of trouble.
The three cores of the escape are the ground clearance, the four-wheel drive system, and the differential device.
Based on the advantage of a minimum ground clearance of 220cm, The new Qijun has become the best player in this level of SUVs through performance, and with the assistance of the new 4x4-i intelligent four-wheel drive system, it has a driving mode with full road conditions.
The significance of the existence of driving mode is to use different computer algorithms to make the whole vehicle have different four-wheel drive system states in different road conditions, in addition to the ordinary automatic mode, economy mode, sports mode, 4x4-i provides snow mode and off-road mode.
That is to say, its four-wheel drive system is smart enough to have different differential speed and power distribution capabilities in switching different modes, in order to show different four-wheel drive states through different modes.
The key to the core is that it is equipped with a new differential device, Nissan calls it B-LSD electrical difference, compared to ordinary electronic differential lock, B-LSD has the ability to lock the wheel faster.
If you lose grip in the rear half of your vehicle, the B-LSD will quickly lock the wheel on the side with more power loss, delivering power to the side with grip to ensure that the power is not excessively lost.
The logical distribution is very clear, but only the power difference is not enough, but also has a lighter body weight and better rigidity, to ensure that the risk factor of being trapped in daily use is reduced.
Because of an extra layer of car life, X-Trail has stronger outdoor adaptability than CR-V and RAV4, so in terms of body rigidity, X-Trail has done a lot of lightweighting, such as a large number of aluminum parts appearing on the body, which can improve strength, ensure safety, and reduce quality.
In fact, from the weight can be a glimpse of one or two, the ability to get out of trouble is stronger, the four-wheel drive is more complex and the size is larger, but it is about 50kg heavier than the four-wheel drive version of CR-V and RAV4.
The newly redesigned X-Trail has a completely different state, its power architecture is more European car style, strong power, high economic performance, and it is a SUV with a certain ability to get out of trouble in the true sense, and its scene adaptability is better than many SUVs.
Nissan has just held an ice and snow challenge in Mudanjiang, this urban SUV and specialized in off-road Tourle, Tuda together through the jungle, to complete the ice and snow challenge, this test is its power architecture, four-wheel drive system and body rigidity, with practical actions to prove the product power, for X-Jun is always more important than the book data.
Rational analysis, the new Qijun represents a perfect upgrade of a technical product, for the user group of this era, there are intelligent, off-road SUVs, in fact, the attraction is stronger.
