| Comfortable and easy to open, solid chassis
Atuka's first feeling when driving is that it is comfortable enough to open, and although the power adjustment is mainly comfortable, it retains some of Mitsubishi's sports genes, and it will not be so boring to drive.
At the beginning, Artuka's performance is relatively brisk, and the power output is not particularly rushed, but it brings about a linear and continuous increase in power to avoid the appearance of vertigo discomfort.
Attuco's power level is more than enough for everyday use, and the front of the accelerator pedal has a decent explosive force, and the acceleration continues to be powerful. There is also plenty of power reserve in the middle and rear sections, even if you need to speed up to overtake at high speeds.
Atuka has a variety of eco-saving modes, ECO+ extreme energy saving, NORMAL and SPORT driving modes. The power response of the energy-saving mode will be more Buddhist, mainly to save energy consumption. After switching to Sport mode, the accelerator pedal becomes more responsive and the overall dynamic response becomes more direct.
In addition, the new car also has an I-Pedal single pedal mode, lift the accelerator pedal to start decelerating, open the power recovery mode, this mode will not have a significant drag feeling, can ensure the comfort of the ride.
Unfortunately, the driving mode can only be switched through the central control screen, and does not support physical button operation, which is not convenient for blind operation when driving.
Atukao's steering force is moderate, and the positive force is also very light, which is very easy to get started. Good steering feel is ideal for family users who drive gently, bringing a smoother and more comfortable driving experience.
The adjustment of the atutco chassis suspension is also based on comfort, and the new aluminum alloy chassis has a good sense of heaviness, which is solid and calm enough. The suspension is also very tough and handles it cleanly in the face of small bumps on the road. Even when passing through large potholes, it can be calmly handled, and it can be effectively softened off, and it will not feel obvious shaking in the car.
In terms of NVH, Artuco also came up with a satisfactory performance, the whole car adopts more than 128 vibration and noise reduction material design, and also strengthens the optimization of the body structure, and the quietness of the whole vehicle is quite excellent at low speed. However, when driving at high speeds, the tire noise is slightly obvious and can be solved by replacing the silent tires.
Overall, Artuco's overall driving texture is quite outstanding, tuned to home comfort, and its solid chassis and quiet cockpit bring a more comfortable driving experience. It can meet the daily commuting in the city and the car needs of a family on weekend outings, and is suitable for family users who pay attention to comfort.
