After Kaiyue riders are tired of playing 525X, Wuji 525DS is late, and finally officially announced the price today, priced at 38180 yuan (standard version) and 42180 yuan (three-box version). The starting price of the Standard Edition of the Wuji 525DS is lower than the original price of the Wuji 500DS, which is a little more expensive than the starting price of the Kaiyue 525X!
Wuji 525DS continues the appearance design of the 500DS, if it is not changed in color and print, it is actually difficult to distinguish the difference in appearance between the two of them. And the 525DS is not simply an upgrade of the engine on the basis of the 500DS, but also a substantial improvement in terms of configuration.
The 525 is just a name, the new twin engine actual displacement is 494cc, the maximum power is 39.6kw/8500rpm, and the maximum torque is 50.5Nm/7000rpm. Compared with the previous 471cc twin-cylinder engine, the displacement has been increased from 471cc to 494cc, with a power increase of 4.6kw and a torque increase of 7.5Nm, which is consistent with the 525R street car.
525DS also replaced the old full-color instrument on the 500DS, the latest family full-color instrument is similar to the 525R function, support mobile phone projection screen, mobile phone interconnection function, but also with the switching of the two power modes and change the theme style.
Previously, the 500DS has been criticized for having no off-road ability, and now the 525DS is equipped with a wire spoke wheel of 19 inches after the front 19 inches and a 17 inches rear, using a brand of all-terrain tires, with a 190mm ground clearance passability and bad road adaptability greatly improved. At the same time, due to the larger front wheel, the seat height was increased from 820mm to 830mm of 500DS.
For the performance of the improvement is far more than this, front and rear KYB shock absorption on the 525DS support the adjustment function, to know that the front shock of the 500DS does not support the adjustment function, the front and rear adjustable shock absorption for the riders who like to run bad roads are definitely a rigid demand.
However, there are still some places to complain about, since the whole car has made a significant improvement in passability and off-road capabilities, then why not replace the exhaust pipe of the same design of the 500DS? Secondly, the configuration specifications of the whole car have come up, but the axial dual-piston front brake caliper is not a bit crotch-pulling.
Of course, the spit is only a personal opinion, in general, the upgrade of the Wuji 525DS is still very powerful, it is no longer just a recreational model for paved roads, off-road and passability of the substantial improvement, should make it a choice for more people.
