With the upgrading of consumer demand and the steady advancement of pickup trucks, today's Chinese pickup trucks have entered a new stage of development, and there are naturally more and more types. King Kong gun has actually been emphasizing that it is a fashion commercial pickup, honestly in the past commercial and fashion two words, almost not on the side, or like the Ford Raptor, the Great Wall of their own cannon such a large toy nature, then this fashion commercial pickup, in fact, it and other pickup trucks in the past What is the difference?
To put it bluntly, it is the so-called combination of commercial and passenger pickup trucks in the past, and it can also be said to be a cross-border bar. From the outside, at a glance can give the answer, the design of the diamond cannon is as stylish and atmospheric as the passenger pickup truck, even commercial has a better visual perception, thick chrome trim, thick front face shape, hard front bar design, can be described as everyone's aesthetic grasp of the pickup truck in place, full of sense of fierceness.
We can also see from the headlight taillights that the King Kong cannon does not save costs on these practical equipment, and the full LED headlight group is also equipped with very exquisite daytime running lights, the sense of fashion is immediately full, and the taillights also use led light sources. And it seems that also considering the size, the Diamond Gun also provides 360-degree panoramic images as an optional package for the vehicle, and the LED headlights are packaged together with the optional configuration of only 2,000 yuan, which is cheaper than the aftermarket and extremely cost-effective. From a functional point of view, the software configuration is undoubtedly richer, while the hardware configuration is more focused on practical and economical directions.
Speaking of practicality, Pikana must be mentioned to the rear box, the whole series of King Kong gun has a total of 12 models, including 6 gasoline versions, 6 diesel versions, and the guidance price is 8.88-12.58 million yuan. Among them, there are three kinds of long boxes, standard boxes and flat boxes, and long boxes and ATE boxes are easier to understand, in fact, it is just the difference in the length of the box. The key is what is a "flat box"? At the scene, there is such a car to help us decrypt, its rear suspension is higher than the long box and the TEU, but the inside of the box can achieve full flatness, the tilt angle is also very small, and the place of flat goods will obviously be more convenient, but the height of the platform will be slightly higher than the standard box and the flat box, which is based on personal needs. In addition, there are enough anchors and hooks on both sides of the container, and the container is also equipped with shelves, which also reserves the possibility of adding "cargo curtains", and the commercial practical performance of the Diamond Gun should be satisfactory enough.
In the hardware configuration of the vehicle, it is also based on commercialization, such as the passenger gun using a multi-link integral bridge non-independent suspension, and the commercial gun for bearing considerations, using leaf spring suspension, the load effect is better. In addition, its entire series of 6MT manual transmission model steering power system also uses a purer mechanical hydraulic assist, although the feel is naturally heavier, and it cannot be integrated into electronic auxiliary functions such as lane departure, but the mechanical hydraulic assistance is more reliable and the failure rate is lower in the face of complex road conditions, while the purchase cost is lower, which is more in line with commercial positioning.
Visible exterior, interiorIf you think it's a commercial vehicle, opening the door will definitely open your eyes. Especially the test drive assigned to this is a 2.0T diesel version of the standard box high-end model, the interior can be described as stunning, the central control is simple and stylish, the configuration is not shabby, LCD instruments, 12.3-inch central control screen, most of the common functions of the passenger car are complete, and you taste its details and materials, even the trim is soft materials, the rear row and the rear exhaust air outlet, absolutely satisfactory.
The actual experience honestly said that I opened the manual transmission is still relatively small, but this car is simpler than I imagined, as a pickup truck I think and open a city SUV is really not much different, the steering has just been mentioned, it uses a hydraulic assist mechanism, low speed when the feel will be heavy, but also the degree of one-handed operation, the speed will be lighter. In addition, the engine sound of this diesel engine I don't think is too noisy than the gasoline version of the same displacement, which also slightly breaks my stereotype of diesel engine.
The clutch is not very heavy, and there will not be a lot of pressure on the daily opening, but it is even better if the gear lever feels a little inhaled. Diesel 2.0T engine 163 horses 400 Nm peak torque of the power tuning, obviously more attention to the low torque setting, in the current situation of no cargo power can be described as fierce, of course, after all, the rear suspension is a leaf spring suspension, no load encounter some small potholes, the rear passengers will feel a little jumpy, but this is much better than the imaginary commercial pickup truck.
In other words, the Diamond Cannon is indeed a product of commercialization and refinement, and the production is at least satisfactory to consumers like me who usually only focus on passenger cars, and there seems to be no more brilliant similar product than his design in the same level. After all, its target consumer group is young people who have just started a business, which is very in line with the current trend of consumption upgrading, and I believe it also has the opportunity to drive other "tool cars" to a wave of innovation.
