There is a kind of cold called northeast alpine cold, and there is an altitude called northwest plateau. The j-limit test of high cold and plateau, the wind yacht is not afraid, both love the smoothness of the plateau, but also withstand the wind and cold of the snow. Now, together with the fengxing yacht, come to the d stop of the j limit test trip - Jilin Changbai Mountain.
Fengxing Yacht extends the design concept of "Front Dynamics" and relies on the "Super Cube EMA Platform Architecture", which is an innovative work that subverts the traditional 7-seat family car. This time, we drive a 7-seat family car disruptor , The Wind Yacht, through the snowy forest sea, galloping over the glacial lake, in the extremely cold environment and complex and changeable all-terrain road conditions, to test drive the experience, take you to unlock the other side of the wind yacht together.
Drive into the Changbai Mountains, walk through the flat land between the mountains, and look at the snow white at a glance. Winters here are long and bitter, with average monthly temperatures of around -20°C. Next, The Wind Yacht will meet the daunting challenges in this environment. The long-distance test in the frozen snow is more demanding for the overall performance test of the vehicle, which can also more comprehensively show the comprehensive performance of the vehicle in terms of power performance, chassis tuning, body stability, handling, safety, durability, air conditioning system, etc.
One second to start, easy to respond
In order to test the ignition reaction of the vehicle engine in an extremely cold environment, the ignition reaction after a long period of shelving and the power change of the battery, the low temperature cold start test is often a particularly critical item in the long-term measurement of ice and snow. When departing from the hotel early in the morning, the real-time temperature around is close to -30 °C. In many tests, the windy yacht that has been parked outdoors for one night can always be easily started within 1 second, and the response of the whole vehicle is smooth and fast, fully reflecting its high stability in extreme low temperature environments, which will also bring more driving confidence to the driver.
Suddenly heat up, quickly warm up
In terms of vehicle heating, after the wind yacht is hot, the heating system can quickly increase the temperature inside the car. Every time you return to the car after shooting, you can feel the warmth and quickly get on, which greatly improves the driving comfort.
Plenty of momentum, move forward
The Yacht is powered by a Mitsubishi 4A95TD 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a high output of 197 horsepower and is mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. In some of the more flat and open sections, a foot of floor oil can be felt that the power of the popular yacht is followed up very quickly, and there is no large sliding, head swinging, tail flicking, etc., even on the snow slope of about 20 degrees, it can be passed competently. For a moment, it was a bit of a trance, and it turned out to be a 7-seater car positioned for family use.
In addition, the combination of snow tires that can greatly improve the adhesion and grip of snow and slippery road tires, and the ESP body stabilization system that can respond to intervention in 0.5 seconds can greatly reduce the risk of slippage and feel safe. It can be said that the overall stability and safety of the body of the wind yacht in different road conditions are very impressive.
In addition to the daily commute in the city, for families with the idea of long-distance travel in winter, the popular yacht will surely become an extremely eye-catching presence among the candidate models.
Superior performance, stable as a rock
During the daytime test drive experience, often through the bumpy sections covered with potholes under the ice and snow, the powerful chassis tuning power of the wind yacht is excellent at this moment, and the various discomforts caused by the bumps are isolated and filtered out to a large extent and very delicately. When passing through the corners, the compactness of the McPherson-style independent front suspension and the multi-link independent rear suspension equipped with the wind yacht can also be directly felt in the car, as well as a more comfortable tuning style, which brings strong support to the body and smoothly passes through bumps and curves.
The beauty of the face that cannot be hidden
Because the wind yacht in this long test is still wrapped in camouflage clothes, it has not been able to have a fresher feeling in the exterior design. But what has to be said is that the domineering straight waterfall type mid-net design and the LED headlights of the slew-shaped standard style, even if it is separated by a layer of camouflage, still can't cover the appearance of the popular yacht explosion, and you can look forward to full exposure.
At this time, the northern sky is dark relatively early, and when the return trip is completed in the evening, the two extremely transparent beams of light shot out by the headlights of the windy yacht in the dim background in the distance make people inexplicably have a feeling of boiling blood but firm and steady. I believe that when consumers follow up with personal test drives, whether it is in the dark night or the wind blows snow on the road, resulting in poor visibility, there will be a more intuitive feeling.
The j-limit challenge that can't be stopped
The high cold long test is over, but the j limit test has just begun, and there are popular yachts such as the Highland Challenge to Go Battle. This test can be described as a deep feeling. In the past two years, family cars have gradually become a market segment that consumers focus on, and the demand has increased significantly. In this context, major brands have quickly come up with their own answers. For Dongfeng Fengxing, which has already preemptively entered the game, Fengxing Yacht is the result of its re-emergence on this track.
As a strategic model specially built for the Chinese family, Fengxing Yacht is built to a higher standard in terms of design concept and vehicle quality, and strives to better meet the advanced needs of the younger generation of consumers for appearance, comfort, driving and intelligent experience, bringing everyone a family travel mode of light luxury quality. This long-term test trip to Changbai Mountain allows us to see Dongfeng Fengxing's rigorous and serious unremitting pursuit in product competitiveness, and we are more looking forward to the performance of this car after the listing.
