With the development of China's industrial science and technology, people from 1994 can only call and send messages 2G mobile phones, to real-time video calls, distance education 3G, 4G mobile phones, and now into 2020, nearly 100 times faster than the 4G network 5G network mobile phone has also begun wide production. The automotive field has also entered a period of rapid development, from cars and pickup trucks that were only used for household transportation in 1989 to SUVs, MPVs, crossovers, and station wagons. The protagonist of this article, Chevrolet Volando, also belongs to the SUV and sedan crossover model, but it does not have the appearance characteristics of the coupe SUV. It is said to be the most cost-effective joint venture car, from 119,900 to 79,900, what else to see Toyota Zhixuan?
In terms of front design, Volando's first impression is crossover, the flatter engine compartment structure is more upright than the average hatchback in the line, and its connection with the A-pillar and the three-dimensional inlet structure we see at the front of the car make it closer to an SUV. The gold bow tie is set in a strip of air holes with chrome trim, while the polygonal grille creates a popular mouth that makes it feel sporty.
It has to be admitted that The interior of Volando is indeed fashionable enough, but the problem is not small, that is, the suspension LCD screen of the central control should be an excellent design, but the screen size is too small, which is the same as Mazda, the design that should be brilliant has become a chicken rib, other performance is decent, although the multi-functional steering wheel only has one side button, but the operation is still smooth, and there is no shortage of one key to start.
In terms of volando dimensions, it has dimensions of 4684/1807/1627mm and wheelbase of 2796mm. The shape of the side shows the trendy design style without losing the dynamic atmosphere. Meanwhile, the car's tires are from Michelin, with front and rear tires being 225/50 R17 and featuring a double five-spoke rim design
In terms of sideways design, Volando also has a strong crossover flavor. The entire cabin structure is made relatively straight, but the longer engine cabin length ratio will make it look different from the traditional SUV, and the lower chassis design will indicate its actual hatchback identity. However, although the lower chassis has hard plastic protection, this ground clearance will still cause its road passability to be less excellent.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.3T three-barrel turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 163 horsepower and a peak torque of 230N·m, which is matched with a 6AT gearbox with a maximum speed of 190 km/h and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.1 L/100 km.
