"Versailles" was one of the hottest words last year, both referring to a car and an act of ostentation.
"98 has risen again, and they are almost unable to refuel", this exclamation is a kind of Versailles between drivers.
As we all know, cars with No. 98 gasoline must not be too bad (except for volkswagen Tanyue, of course). Issuing an exclamation that can't afford to add 98, on the surface is lamenting the rise in oil prices, but in fact, it is showing off that the car he drives is good. Of course, the most advanced is the complaint that he still can't afford to add fuel additives, which proves that he drives not only a good car, but also a supercar.
This set of "Versailles" does not work among old men, because in the eyes of old men, whether it is adding 98 or adding fuel additives, it is not as enviable as adding diesel.
In China, most of the passenger cars that use diesel engines are parallel imported cars such as Land Rover Defender, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Mercedes-Benz G-Class. However, there are also cheap diesel SUVs in China, such as the following three, starting at a minimum of 167,800.
Jiangxi Isuzu mu-X Pastoral Ranger
Manufacturer guidance price: 18.18 ~ 253,800
Wheelbase: 2.84 m
Powertrain: 1.9T diesel + 6 block hand self-contained
The first time I realized that middle-aged men like diesel cars was because of Isuzu. I was refueling at the gas station, a Isuzu Ranger stopped in front of the diesel fuel dispenser opposite, the staff shouted that it was diesel, and the big brother on the Ranger got out of the car and said that his car was diesel. The staff was curious, while sighing: "Your car is actually equipped with diesel!" While looking around the car at the ranger, the smile on the big brother's face was old and proud.
Although Jiangxi Isuzu can be said to be the smallest Japanese joint venture brand in China, niche to some consumers think that Isuzu is an independent brand, but is no less influential on China's pickup truck industry than Mitsubishi Engine on China's automotive industry, and the early pickup trucks of great wall and land wind are deeply affected by Isuzu. As early as 1985, Jiangxi Automobile Manufacturing Plant introduced the light vehicle NHR542 from Isuzu, Japan, and in the same year, Isuzu also established the first Japanese joint venture car company Qingling Motors with Chongqing Automobile Manufacturing Plant.
Back to the Isuzu mu-X Ranger, this is also a hardcore off-road vehicle that is popular in overseas markets, and has long been at the top of the car sales list in Southeast Asia and Australia.
Isuzu Ranger, like Zhengzhou Nissan's Tuda, is based on a pickup truck platform, except that Ranger retains only a 1.9T diesel engine. The torque parameters of the off-road vehicle engine are more important, and the maximum torque of this 1.9T diesel engine reaches 360 Nm, while the low-speed four-wheel drive (4H) mode of the four-wheel drive system can amplify the torque by 2.48 times, reaching the terrifying 900 Nm. With the self-locking Eaton differential lock, the ability to get out of trouble naturally does not have to worry.
In addition to the excellent torque parameters of the diesel engine, the torque range is also very wide, and it can be three gears over the U-turn bay without reducing gear, but the Ranger uses a 6-speed manual transmission throughout the series, which is an advantage unless the manual mode is switched, it is difficult to appreciate.
The appearance and interior naturally needless to say, it is still the design level of the independent brand in 2015, but there should be some configurations, there is also an 8-inch touch central control screen, and it also supports CarPlay and CarLife car-machine interconnection, which is a good review.
In addition, the front face of the Ranger uses a large area of chrome decoration, which is simply blinding, but I have seen a Ranger with a black front face, which is still very good-looking.
Jiangling Victory S350 Diesel Edition
Manufacturer guidance price: 16.78 ~ 201,800
Wheelbase: 2.75 m
Powertrain: 2.0T diesel + 6-speed manual / 8-speed hand-in-one
Behind Jiangling Motors (JMC) is actually a joint venture company composed of Jiangling Motors Group, Chongqing Changan Automobile, and Ford Motor, and one of the biggest problems of Jiangling Motors is that it always likes to claim that it is a joint venture company, and at the same time it is unwilling to give up the identity of its own brand, so it has made a "joint venture independent brand" and so on.
As the first SUV of Jiangling Motors, although the Jiangling Yisheng S350 was established in 2006 and only went on the market after four years of development, the resonance problem caused by the poor matching of the early engine and the gearbox can be said to have consumed the patience of most early consumers, and the "fierce" character LOGO of the Yisheng brand also lost the passers-by of the Yisheng brand.
Fortunately, the S350 has replaced the new platform, powertrain, and "JMC" logo of Jiangling Motors. The current S350 is an excellent off-road vehicle positioning.
The S350 is available in both petrol and diesel, with the diesel version using a 2.0T diesel engine with a maximum horsepower of 141 hp and a maximum torque of 340 Nm. In addition, in addition to the 8AT gearbox, this car also has a 6-speed manual version, which can really experience the convenience of turning around and not downshifting on this car.
As for the four-wheel drive system, the diesel manual version is equipped with a set of time-sharing four-wheel drive, while the top and secondary top of the 8AT version are equipped with a set of timely four-wheel drive and a set of multi-piece clutch structure central differential lock.
The biggest problem with the S350 is after-sales, since Jiangling tasted the sweetness of changing the shell of the S330 into a surge in sales in the Jiangling Ford territory, it has abandoned the brand of TheAccum. Now open the official website of Jiangling Motors, you can only find the shadow of Yusheng in the "History Introduction" column.
SAIC Maxus MAXUS D90 Pro Diesel Edition
Manufacturer guidance price: 20.68 ~ 276,800
Wheelbase: 2.95 m
Powertrain: 2.0T diesel + 8 gear hand self-contained
Compared with the previous two cars, the starting price of the SAIC Maxus D90 Pro diesel version jumped directly to 200,000, while the four-wheel drive version came to 236,800. This is mainly compared to the Isuzu Ranger and Jiangling Yusheng S350, which mainly appears on the construction site and is positioned as the "old scalper working", the D90 Pro is positioned higher, and even creates a little luxury.
For example, the D90 Pro is equipped with automatic partition air conditioning as standard, both the main driver and the co-pilot's makeup mirror have fill lights, and the car is also equipped with 64 colors of ambient lights, and the top model even uses leather and Alcantara materials, with heating, ventilation, massage of 12 adjustment seats. This car is not an "old scalper", but a horse.
The SAIC Maxus D90 Pro not only has the longest wheelbase of the three models, reaching 2.95 meters and a length of more than 5 meters, but also has the strongest power. The 2.0T diesel engine can produce 163 hp and 400 Nm of torque.
As for the four-wheel drive system, the D90 Pro is also equipped with a timely four-wheel drive system, and has a set of multi-piece clutch structure of the central differential lock, compared to the time-sharing four-wheel drive, the time-time four-wheel drive mode switching is more intelligent, more suitable for the positioning of the D90 Pro.
Although the diesel engine is good, it is also a troublesome thing to need to add urea regularly, but as a middle-aged person, have you experienced less trouble? This little trouble can be exchanged for the pleasure of every driving, and there are few things in life that are more cost-effective than this.
