If I don't live in a limited-purchase, restricted-traffic city, if I can be busy and take my family on a trip, I will definitely buy a pickup truck and convert it into such a campervan, perfect...
But in fact, what my city buns don't know is... After Futian began to actively carry out the de-instrumental upgrading and transformation of pickup truck products a few years ago, its products have long been popular in many non-restricted places, including the "Great General Mulan Edition" that the author tested last year... Waiting.
And now this new conqueror 3 to, 2.0T engine + 8AT, electronic control time-sharing four-wheel drive can off-road, how do you see?
--Chai machine with pickup truck, more love
Conqueror 3 is an entry-level product in Futian's "Conqueror" series, and its previous price positioning was between 80,000 and 110,000. The biggest highlight of the new Conqueror 3 that I test drove this time is that the ZF 8AT gearbox is stationed, which supplements the shortcomings of the previous product line with only 6MT manual transmission.
In addition to the gearbox, the new Conqueror 3 I test drove was a 2.0T diesel engine powered by Theocom 4F20, equipped with BorgWarner Variable Geometry Technology turbochargers, Bosch high-pressure common rail systems... A bunch of technical materials, under the maximum torque of 375Nm, can also meet the National VI emission standards. hey! This aroused my interest, just to compare with my test drive last year, equipped with a 2.0T gasoline engine of the Great General Mulan version...
The test site was in good condition, I used the "Auto" drive mode with the standard driving mode to test first, the throttle was pressed down, the speed was just over 1200 rpm, a strong force gushed out, and extended all the way up to 3000 rpm. This saturated sense of power is more attractive than the 2.0T gasoline engine I remembered!
Enough low twist + automatic transmission to make it as easy as eating on this slope for the new Conqueror 3!
I tried to test it with the "Sport" driving mode again, when the ZF gearbox showed its clever side, at a certain speed, it would maintain the engine speed as much as possible above 1500 rpm, so that I had enough acceleration as soon as I stepped on the accelerator, or in exchange for a stronger sense of acceleration, and all of these actions were actually very delicate and fast, not like my traditional impression of a big and rough pickup truck, and even more intelligent than the power system of some cars.
Well! Pickups like the New Conqueror 3, equipped with a diesel engine and automatic transmission, are easy to open and perfectly match!
In terms of handling, because the new Conqueror 3 uses a non-load-bearing chassis, and adopts a typical pickup truck and off-road vehicle suspension structure such as front double wishbones, rear flap springs + fixed shafts, it can feel that the chassis is very solid when driving, but when walking through the uneven road, the rear axle as a whole will have a twist vector in addition to the up and down displacement, which is of course not conducive to the performance of control accuracy, but for cars with load or off-road needs, such a setting is the best.
------ rustic is just right
Compared with the high-end, atmospheric "Great General" series of products, the appearance of New Conqueror 3 looks relatively pragmatic. But through like the electroplated roof rack, the side foot pedals, the 17-inch aluminum ring + Giti HT tire, the hopper anti-roll frame... The finishing touch of the parts makes the appearance of this car look not too old-fashioned, and with a little fashion atmosphere.
The interior of the car is also low-key and rustic, there is no popular large-screen host, and there is no fancy atmosphere lights, but above the overall material level, the seat ergonomic design is also in place... It's a car that makes people enjoy driving and riding practical functions, and if the technology is cool, I think I will buy it and change it!
Due to the non-load-bearing chassis of a car like the New Conqueror 3, the wheelbase is not the main element used to simply judge the seating space in the car, but the cabin design is. Actually riding, the back seat space is too much for me, and the surplus is huge.
Beiqi Foton has now delegated many advanced technologies to pickup trucks of all levels, including entry-level products like the New Conqueror 3. If its price is close to 100,000 yuan, what you can get is strong power, easy to open automatic gear, strong off-road performance, good driving texture, in terms of cost performance is really good.
And if you're looking to buy a pickup truck to build a campervan, the New Conqueror 3 is better for you... You can not have to drive unrelated equipment, the savings of more budget on the modification and upgrading, so that the fun is not fun?
--Pickup trucks were born
This test drive is at the Foshan base in Futian, and of course, Xiaobian can't miss visiting the smart factory here. No instigation, above...
Come all come, don't you like it?
