Tank 500 has been officially launched on March 20, the price can be regarded as a surprise for you, after all, the starting price of 335,000 has lowered the entry threshold for medium and large hard SUV to a very low level, but the price that is the same as the pre-sale price is indeed not too gratifying. I think you must be looking forward to it. How does this model with countless halos perform? Let's analyze them one by one. In addition to the appearance of the domineering interior luxury of this car, the most concerned must be the performance of the new powertrain, so let's start with acceleration
The tank 500 uses a 3.0T V6 twin-turbo engine, equipped with a 48V light mixing system, the turbo also has VGT variable cross-section technology and dual injection technology, and the official acceleration time of 0-100 km/h is 7.3 seconds
The ambient temperature on the day of the test was 19 degrees Celsius, and through 6 sets of tests, we got the acceleration of the tank 500, the best was 7.34 seconds, the worst was 8.24 seconds. Only one of the six sets exceeded 8 seconds, and the rest of the acceleration results were within 8 seconds. It seems that this time this time the engine did show a very good power output ability, and those technologies are not in vain, even if it is 8.24 seconds of the performance I think is also an excellent range, close to 2.5 tons of weight is not given for free. The whole acceleration action is completed in one go, the engine has sufficient power reserves throughout the acceleration process, and the gearbox shift impact seems to have become the state it should be here.
It is not unusual for a hunk to run fast, and being able to stop is actually more important than running fast, after all, even if Bolt crosses the finish line, he must brake in time or how to stand on the podium.
So we also conducted a rigorous test of the braking performance of the tank 500, and before talking about the results, I would like to tell you a message that our driver passed on to me, that is, the brake pedal of the tank 500 feels very strange, the initial stage feels like stepping on the spring, and it is difficult to find the combination of brake force output in daily driving. Coupled with the pedal design of the long stroke, the rider believes that the brakes of the tank 500 are not very comfortable to use even if the brakes are good.
Brakes we tested a total of 10 groups, the best result appeared in the second time, 37.17 meters, if this result can last 10 times, then this 2.5 tons of big fat man must not have to worry about the emergency stop when the sole is worn, but unfortunately, with the increase in the number of tests, the score is also more and more crotch, the last test directly dried to 50.10 meters, such results are difficult to say. It seems that the control of thermal decay will be strengthened. The average of the 10 tests was 41.80 meters.
Don't worry, the rigorous testing continues. After calming down the almost unstoppable tank 500 for a while, we tested him again, the same ten times, but only once, at a speed of 72.9 km/h. The remaining 9 failures all appear after entering the B library, and the right rear wheel of the vehicle will hit the first pile barrel on the right side, probably due to the long body size and the excessively long suspension suspension stroke, resulting in poor rear flexibility and trackability, so almost every failure is here. From the visual point of view outside the car, although the suspension stroke of the tank 500 is for off-road tuning, the entire suspension is still tough, and the body can also have good support and reaction speed when continuous center of gravity shifts. Although the body posture seems to be relatively swaying, the driver said that he is still very confident in driving.
We all know that the product of the tank platform, that cross-country and four-wheel drive capability, is the basic guarantee of the platform, and on the tank 500, the same time-sharing four-wheel drive system is not used, but the same TOD two-speed transfer box as the Raptor is adopted, which can be an ordinary timely four-wheel drive, or it can be locked by the central differential to achieve power distribution between the front and rear axles. If you choose to install the front and rear axle differential locks, this time the tank 500 is really equipped with three locks. So for the test of the pulley group, we will say the results directly, and all passed! After all, if this degree cannot be passed, what kind of hardcore off-road is there to talk about?
If you think that what I said above is nonsense, then what you are most concerned about must be the data I will release next, yes, the fuel consumption test, the powertrain of the tank 500 gives us a lot of surprises in actual performance, and indeed uses its own strength to punch those who question him, who said that domestic production can not produce large displacement? And the only thing that still questions about the tank is fuel consumption, so our test team also went through a test that lasted 5 hours, in the early spring of Beijing 13 degrees Celsius environment, after the Beijing 3rd Ring 4 Ring Road and the comprehensive test of the highway section, with the actual performance to verify the tank 500 fuel consumption, the test day coincided with the last day of the Winter Olympic lane, however, the smoothness of the morning peak still made us feel very surprised, so the entire test of your road conditions, unimpeded accounted for 85%, congestion accounted for 15%, We travel a total of 246.7 kilometers, the average speed of 54 kilometers per hour, it takes 4 hours and 34 minutes, the meter fuel consumption is 11.3 liters per 100 kilometers, the actual fuel consumption is 28.79L, the actual fuel consumption is 11.6L per hundred kilometers, this achievement, those who hold the keyboard ready to spray false standards Spray fuel consumption High you can put down the keyboard in your hand silently to a quality triple bar. But it should be said that high-speed medium and large displacement engines do have more advantages, and the upshift of the 9AT gearbox is also very positive, ensuring a good fuel consumption performance. But if it is true that if the performance is not false, then the congestion section, 17L, 18L is also appropriate.
Well, the above is our comprehensive test of the strength of the tank 500 vehicle, it can be said that there is no surprise, because from the data given by the manufacturer, it should be such a performance. But it did not disappoint, for a new model, new power, everywhere the new tank 500, there is still room for improvement.
