After the March sting, everything is full of life, the breeze is gentle, the spring is strong, and the peach cherry blossoms are pink. In this rainy month, it is most appropriate to take a road trip and enjoy the spring tour full of negative oxygen ions, bringing us incomparably clear air. As a self-driving travel blogger and independent musician, Wang Xilin (hereinafter referred to as Xi Xi) chose BaiheWan as a camping destination on the location of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly". Mountains, rivers, peaks, strange rocks as a whole, here not only strange rocks, natural rock walls are also countless, and this time the self-driving tour, Xi Xi chose to accompany the car, is from GAC Mitsubishi Orlander.
When it comes to self-driving travel, everyone's requirements for vehicles are first of all to be fully powered, through good sex and strong off-road capabilities, can accompany you across jungle streams, next door deserts, and even deserted no-man's land, and visit various mysterious beauties. In addition, it is also important to have a humane and comfortable configuration and a large loading space, so that your self-driving journey can be safe, worry-free and comfortable. The above-mentioned elements can be met by GAC-Mitsubishi Outlander.
Visit natural oxygen bars and conquer off-road sanctuaries
Baihewan Natural Scenic Area, also known as Baihe Gorge, is located in Huairou District, about 95 kilometers away from downtown Beijing, and is a comprehensive tourist area for people to travel, entertain, relax and take weekends. The green vegetation coverage rate of the scenic spot is more than 75%, the forest is luxuriant, the air is fresh, the water quality is pure, the climate is pleasant, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the environmental quality ranks first in the Beijing area. The altitude of the mountains in Baihe Bay is close to 1,000 meters, and the peaks are steep and rocky. The natural formation of "Stone Man Mountain", "Xiangma Cave", "Five Tiger Mountain" and other mysterious and exquisite, winding mountain road terrain, winding and rugged, steep slope slippery road, is an ideal holy place for off-road enthusiasts.
When it comes to off-road, the first thing that everyone thinks of is the hardcore SUV model, as one of the few hardcore joint venture urban SUVs in the Chinese market, Outlander has been showing a tough appearance since its domestic listing in China in 2016. Muscular body lines, several stable lines interspersed with the entire outline of the body, visually clean and neat, looks more atmospheric, with the body tough and robust design style, more in line with the wild style of this SUV, this appearance style is completely versatile with the self-driving tour.
In order to meet the trend aesthetic needs of the younger generation of consumers, at the end of last year, GAC Mitsubishi launched the Outlander Yao Mobile Edition to give people a refreshing feeling in terms of appearance and interior. The car uses obsidian black material in the front grille, wheel hub, rearview mirrors, roof luggage rack and other conspicuous parts, which is not only more youthful, but also has a lot of sportsmanship and is more cool. For young urban hipster men and women, such an upgrade and improvement is undoubtedly the most "appetite" for them.
The humanized cockpit design makes travel easier and worry-free
Self-driving travel, who has a high technology configuration, who can naturally bring more convenience to travel, especially in this more than two-hour drive, certainly can not make the journey too boring, rich configuration is particularly important. To this end, Outlander is equipped with practical and convenient humanized technology configuration, including dual-zone independent control of automatic air conditioning, Lingyun Yuexiang intelligent connection system, Carlife system, intelligent electric tailgate and other comfortable and convenient humanized equipment, of which, the voice control interaction function is very convenient, not only quick response, but also can recognize a variety of commands, in a long time driving, you need to focus on the road ahead, with this voice system, only the mouth does not move the operation experience, but also to let xi xi focus on driving, Improved driving safety.
Speaking of safety, in addition to equipping a 360-degree panoramic imaging system, Outlander is also equipped with a variety of safety configurations, and strives to create a safe and secure driving environment for consumers. After all, the exhaustion of the journey coupled with the long road, the driver can easily fall into exhaustion on the road.
When on the highway, turn on the ACC adaptive cruise system, which can make the xixi more secure and hassle-free. This can not only reduce the operation of the accelerator and brake, reduce the driving burden, reduce the fatigue of the driver, but also effectively reduce the risk of rear-end collision caused by the sudden braking of the car in front. Among them, in terms of the effect of following the car, the overall driving experience is orderly, relatively moderate, not fast or slow. For example, in terms of deceleration, it will not be particularly abrupt, encountering a sharp brake in front of the car, Orlander reacts quickly, then brakes sharply, occasionally lack of concentration, the system also helps to brake several times, I feel that this is particularly good, the performance is reassuring.
The FCM forward collision prevention assist system is really powerful for avoiding the risk of "other cars", when judging that there is a rear-end danger, the vehicle will issue a warning and automatically start braking to avoid collisions or minimize collision injuries. On the way to the destination, Xi Xi felt the role of an FCM system, there was a bus stop in front, Xi Xi subconsciously hit the steering wheel to the left to change lanes to avoid, the result of the FCM system automatic braking, the reason is that the left side of the road has an iron fence, due to the excessive angle of lane change, directly facing the iron fence, the distance is rapidly reduced, resulting in the FCM system intervention work.
In addition, active stability control + traction control (ASC + TCL), brake assist system (BAS), ramp start assist system (HSA) and other safety technology configurations commonly found in first-class models are reflected in Outlander, which can effectively cope with various unexpected situations on the road and create a "happy first class" suitable for self-driving outings.
Excellent power performance for complex road conditions
After getting off the highway into Huairou, the pavement is full of non-paved paved and gravel roads, and against these bad roads, Orbiter's performance is very reassuring. It continues the sports gene flowing in Mitsubishi's blood, equipped with Mitsubishi's original MIVEC gold core power, matches the third generation of INVECS stepless transmission, and inherits the S-AWC system of EVO dominance. When crossing country lanes or muddy mountain roads, you can switch the gearbox to L gear and pair it with the Mitsubishi S-AWC Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System to easily conquer a variety of road conditions.
For the performance of Outlander's power performance, Xi Xi felt that the engine gearbox was very well matched. Toughness performance when crossing potholed pavement is very good, it is difficult to find any flaws in smoothness, the power output is very linear, responsive, accelerated and calm, there is no setback, there is no sense of instantaneous power output, the actual driving of the whole vehicle will be relatively lighter, especially in overtaking, very stable and confident, and the fuel economy is also excellent, the comprehensive performance is not lost to other turbo models in the same class.
On non-paved roads, the AYC active swing control system and the "multi-piece clutch limited slip differential" can ensure that the vehicle can efficiently corner, stabilize the corner, and also improve the ability of the wheel to get out of trouble. On the highway, in the case of cornering, the four-wheel drive system will make a torque distribution for the four wheels, making the cornering smoother and safer. Outlander offers four modes of economy, normal, snow and lock, with four independent suspensions and a minimum ground clearance of 190mm, to ensure good handling and stability. After the actual driving experience, whether it is a city road, a highway, or a mountain road, or a dirt road, Outlander can easily pass, giving a thoughtful and reassuring companionship.
Flexible and large space layout to meet the needs of multi-scenario use
On this self-driving trip, Xi Xi not only brought shooting equipment, but also many spring tour-themed equipment, including musical instruments, sunflowers and coffee. Therefore, in xi xi's view, the requirements for self-driving trips for models should not only be practical but also comfortable, and SUVs with large spaces can load more items and are more suitable for self-driving trips to bring a better experience.
The length, width and height of Orlander are 4705/1810/1710mm, plus the leading 2670mm wheelbase of the same class, 913L large-volume trunk, this space has always been the bottom of Outlander, fully meet the travel needs of all the people in the car. In addition, the large space of the ordinary version of the 7-seater model is difficult to find an opponent on the same level as The Lander, and the convenience brought by the third row of seats is not a gimmick.
Whether sitting in the front or back row, you can feel the excess of head space and legroom. Secondly, after the rear discharge is reversed, the space in the entire car can also be easily placed in the air cushion bed, and when cooking or self-driving in the suburbs, a mattress can be placed to meet the driver and occupants to lie down and rest without any pressure. At the same time, the protrusion in the middle of the Back Row of Orlander is very small, and occasionally the travel with a full load of people will not appear crowded, which makes Xi Xi very satisfied.
Write at the end:
Compared with airplanes and trains, the one who can get closer to the natural beauty is self-driving. The intimate space and the unbridled itinerary will make this journey a good memory, after all, the unique beauty is often hidden in the far away corners, and only after a long journey can you catch a glimpse. Behind the popularity of self-driving tours, the automobile industry has ushered in a new opportunity for development under the impetus of the vigorous development of self-driving tours.
