Do you know why the Shadow Leopard was able to snatch a piece of meat out of Civic's mouth?
Because, if you are a young man, you will find that spending 150,000 yuan to buy a joint venture car can really only be used to drive. Some are mediocre, like the sedan Fox, and some are weak, like the 1.5 three-cylinder Corolla GR Sport.
The 121-horsepower GR Sport, I think it has only three cylinders in common with the real GR.
In short, with the research and development capabilities of joint venture car companies, do not play monkeys, be serious, and build a family car that everyone can understand, the power is good, the chassis is good, and it is a little smart, which is actually not difficult. As long as the car company is willing,
Then we can see that in 2015, Weilang, which also used self-priming and turbo to distinguish high and low matches, was greatly upgraded in 2022, and the whole series was equipped with 1.5T+CVT as standard, which was very happy.
Three months ago, the driver's party test drove the Veyron Pro, so you can probably understand, this car has a very sporty shape, I saw the real car for the first time today, I can emphasize with you again, the GS version is really handsome, the ordinary version is still too home. I suggest that Buick popularize the appearance of the GS version on more configurations.
And it is not coincidental that the test drive is white, in fact, when you go to see the Veyron Pro real car, you will find that the color of red, blue and gray is more suitable for the young orientation of the Veyron Pro.
Entering the car, the most eye-catching configuration is the dual screen. Others like gear bars, air conditioning controls, multi-function steering wheels, etc. are all routine, but with this dual screen, you'll feel like you're sitting inside cadillac LYRIQ, and it's hard to ignore it.
▲The actual operation of the feeling is also OK, the touch is very sensitive, and the intelligent functions are complete
▲Inside the dual screen is a system called e connect 3.0
▲ At the same time, Veyron Pro retains a lot of physical buttons, which is much more convenient and gives Buick a thumbs up
▲However, the high-grade sense of the interior is more general, such as the material of the door is soft, but the personal feeling is not as good as a hard plastic
Like these surface things, Veyron Pro does a good job, its interior is more exquisite, and intelligent by these two large screens to support up, static quality to see the Civic, better than Corolla, Xuanyi.
Of course, I know what you'd like to see more – the Veyron Pro comes standard with a new 1.5T four-cylinder engine, with only a high-power version with a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 250 N·m. There are no manual models, and the whole series is equipped with CVT. Everyone must be curious about the feeling of this powertrain opening up.
▲ 135kW and 250Nm· Although it is very common in high-power engines, you must know that this is the standard of the whole series, which is very rare
At the beginning, the first impression of this set of 1.5T + CVT is that the low torque is very sufficient, this aspect is that the gearbox itself responds fast enough - in fact, on the previous 1.3T three-cylinder machine, this CVT gearbox has a very good performance, but because the previous 1.3T needs to avoid the speed range of 1000 ~ 1500rpm, the starting response is not very fast, especially when pulling the Maribao XL.
On the other hand, the output of the 1.5T itself is particularly smooth, and the complex power needs of the driver can be easily adjusted, such as shallow throttle - deep throttle - shallow throttle - deceleration - deep throttle When the operation, basically did not drop the chain in any link.
Therefore, "smooth maturity" is the biggest feature of this 1.5T +CVT combination.
This also fully illustrates one thing, that is, the 1.5T+CVT itself is a more advanced and better new generation than the 1.3T+CVT assembly - not for the four-cylinder for the sake of the four-cylinder.
For example, Yinglang has replaced the 1.0T three-cylinder machine with a 1.5L four-cylinder machine before, do you want to say that the former is definitely better than the latter? Not necessarily, it's four for the sake of four cylinders.
The 135kW power flashpoint is after 3000 rpm, and the actual 2000 rpm on urban roads is very abundant, but when overtaking at high speed, CVT will confirm the driver's intentions, and then pull the speed to 3000rpm, so that the 1.5T will have an output close to 2.5L, pulling this compact car effortlessly.
In terms of chassis, because the Buick Veyron Pro itself is a European-style model based on Opel Astra - only at the beginning of 2015 to lengthen the wheelbase to 2700mm - so the "European flavor" is particularly strong, the suspension compression rebound speed is very fast, the ground performance is great.
It is worth mentioning that although the rear suspension of the Veyron Pro is a non-independent suspension of the torque beam, the addition of the watt connecting rod is helpful for the driving quality, the most significant is the high-speed stability, and the lateral control and followability of the rear axle can feel a good performance.
However, I personally feel that the steering system of the Veyron Pro needs a clear style, the center of the steering wheel is very light, it can be easily swung, but a little larger, you can feel the "sudden heavier" change. Fortunately, the steering system is decent, so it can still be slightly "moved" when cornering.
Finally, let's talk about the dynamic difference between the Veyron Pro and the same class of models:
First of all, Sagitar, Sagitar 1.4T+7DSG will be more lazy at low speed, and the good opening is that The Veyron Pro is better. In terms of chassis, both are tougher, and the steering system Sagittarius is lighter and more uniform.
Compared with the Asiatic Lion, the Veyron Pro is mainly more refined in power output (the Asiatic Lion's 2.0L+ CVT output is relatively rough, not as good as the Camry), and the chassis characteristics are also better tuned by the Veyron Pro, which is very obvious in the limit state.
Maybe the Chassis of the Veyron Pro is more comfortable than the Corolla/Ralink chassis.
Compared to Xuanyi... Veyron Pro probably only loses one block in fuel consumption, and the rest is basically all-round crushing.
epilogue:
So it's clear that the Veyron Pro is pragmatic in its statics, plus a little bit of intelligence, and probably not very luxurious. But the advantages are all in the dynamic, high degree of completion + high specifications of hardware configuration, this is the core highlight of Veyron Pro, if you want to buy a 100,000 to 150,000 cost-effective car, Veyron Pro is really a very worthy of consideration options.
