When we talk about skiing, what are we looking for? Is it a refreshing mood to look down on the magnificent scenery from the top of the mountain? Or the thrill of an adrenaline rush as you swoop down the slopes? Or a whole new experience in your life? For ski lovers, the sport is like "white opium" with a charm that will never be returned.
Start with it in perceptual motion
On this trip, we drove the fifth-generation Tucson L sub-top model, which still highly restored the essence of the "Sensuous Sportiness" design concept of the vision T, a modern car concept, creating a very dynamic vehicle line. The parametric diamond cut shape makes its front grille and sides angular, and the futuristic feel jumps out of the distance. Obviously, fashion and avant-garde have always been the main tone of the fifth-generation Tucson L.
Dragging long skis and a backpack of ski equipment to the rear of the car, because of the special nature of the equipment required for skiing, higher requirements are also placed on the loading capacity of the vehicle.
As the first SUV on the new generation of i-GMP platforms, the fifth-generation Tucson L boasts body dimensions of 4670/1865/1690 mm and a large wheelbase of 2755 mm. Compared with its competitors, its body width is the widest in its class and the longest wheelbase in its class. The second row of seats was lowered, and the flat plane formed with the trunk expanded the trunk volume to 1904 liters, and it was completely out of the question to place equipment such as skis.
After packing up our bags, lighting up the LED hidden daytime lights like "eagle wings" and the echoing "eagle claw" LED through the tail lights, we set off and ran towards the ideal white world in the morning sun.
It is an intelligent experience, but also the care of science and technology
In the early morning of winter, the fog is weak, and the exhaled breath condenses and floats upwards. With a sentence of "Hello, Hyundai" to wake up the Baidu 3.0 intelligent network system in the car, just need to tell it "I am a little cold", the system will automatically turn up the air conditioning temperature. Highly recognized natural language commands make the car machine no longer a cold machine, but more like a friend who travels with us.
Under the design concept of "SensuousSportiness", the design of the flying waterfall wrap-around cockpit brings a rich three-dimensional sense and creates a strong spatial hierarchy. The 10.4-inch central control screen and 10.25-inch open gauge include a wealth of information, and the strong entertainment ecosystem also makes driving a lot more fun.
At this moment, I feel that winter does not seem to be so cold, after all, there is no summer heat and autumn depth, and the sunlight from the panoramic skylight has become mild. Who says people who like to ski can't fall in love with the warm winter sun? Stepping on the rhythm of the sun, feeling the smarter experience and more humane care brought about by technological upgrading, we went all the way north.
Endorphins and dopamine, surging power and low fuel consumption
Some people say that skiing is a realistic version of "Fast and Furious", which is not an exaggeration. When skiing at high speed, people are in a state of weightlessness, and the brain will secrete endorphins, dopamines and other substances at an extremely high speed, giving people a continuous sense of stimulation and excitement. This extreme feeling of adrenaline rushing is also attracting more and more young people.
Arrive at the ski slopes to change gear and start your day on the slopes as the cable car slowly heads to the top of the mountain. For beginners, every fall means it takes longer to get up, but they still enjoy the pain and joy. When you get started, start manipulating the snowboard and controlling the speed, you can experience the wonder of the snowboard crossing the snow surface, and feel the pleasure of high-speed sliding.
This familiar feeling is also like the surging power of the fifth-generation Tucson L. Equipped with the world's first CVVD technology, the 1.5T high-power engine can effectively balance power and fuel consumption. With a maximum power of 147 kW, a maximum torque of 253 Nm, and a fuel consumption of 6.0 liters per 100 km, it achieves lower fuel consumption while surpassing the 1.5T engine in the same class.
In fact, one of the most critical and difficult techniques of snowboarding is to change the blade, which needs to overcome the fear of humanity's instinct for speed. Only after you have mastered the technical essentials and overcome those anti-human instincts can you experience the ethereal feeling of wandering on the edge of "out of control" and "control".
If you're a beginner, you'll have to fall a few rounds on the slopes, but driving the fifth-generation Tucson L is obviously much easier than skiing, so you can rest assured that you can go forward and step out of the Pingchuan River. Of course, this is just a joke, but along the way we do feel the responsiveness and more fun sense of manipulation of the fifth-generation Tucson L.
To conquer, but also to conquer safely
"Fall 100 times on the slopes, climb up 100 times, and don't give up to reap real happiness" - the so-called experience of a sport, through the thorns and thorns to move forward is not a normal life. On the slopes we can keep falling and starting again, but driving a car is never possible. Fortunately, the fifth-generation Tucson L is equipped with the Hyundai SmartSense security system, which has the most 23 ADAS configurations in its class, so that we can rest assured that we can ride on the road to freedom and harvest real happiness without having to "fall".
NSCC is based on navigation intelligent cruise control, HDA highway driver assistance, FCA forward collision avoidance assistance, and even SVM 360° panoramic imagery, each of which is invisibly escorting our travel safety. And thanks to the multi-skeleton body structure, the impact force absorbed by the body can be effectively dispersed to ensure the safety of the cockpit. You see, just like when we wear protective gear when skiing, no matter which way we conquer the road ahead, safety is always the first priority.
Go and enjoy
Skiing is free and pure, it keeps me focused and keeps me pushing the limits of my body and will. Every time you glide at high speed, only the wind mixed with the snow fragments whistle through your ears. When you close your eyes, you can hear the small roar of each snowflake colliding with the air, and when you open your eyes, you will be deeply impressed by this pure and transparent world.
When you really devote yourself to finding the source of the passion for this sport with love, you will naturally find that skiing is not an ordinary sport. From the top of the mountain, concentrate on the pistes and enjoy the fun of skiing. Just like driving the fifth-generation Tucson L, when we sit in a car full of design, efficient power will stimulate all-round driving pleasure, and in the comfortable atmosphere and the protection and companionship of intelligent technology, we can fully expect to discover the scenery on the road. Fall in love with a sport or a car, no matter what you're embarking on, just remember to enjoy it.
