The boss gave me a task to test drive a car of about 50,000 yuan! Why is the car so cheap?
At first, I refused, but when I knew it was, I was more than expecting to drive a 500,000-strong car. It is - Changan Kaicheng F300.
There are two things that I look forward to, first, it is a pickup truck, this small cargo board I have not been test drive before; second, it is a manual gear, as a 10-year old driver who has driven a manual gear, I have not touched the manual gear for too long. Lifting the clutch, releasing the handbrake, pushing the block... It's exciting to think about!
What I didn't expect was that this fifty thousand-piece pickup truck made me completely fly. As soon as I got on the bus, I used it to jump twice at zero hundred acceleration, starting at 3,000 rpm and 6,000 conversion gears. The joy of turbocharging and automatic transmission without it was found on this pickup truck. In the end, the Changan Kaicheng F300 actually broke through the hundred directly in 3 gears 6000 rpm, which made me have to look up to this 1.5L naturally aspirated engine.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the shifting performance, the gear lever was exquisite and the grip was great. In addition, the manufacturer also optimized the shift direction for it, reduced the handball position by 10mm, and adjusted the shift suction feel. Therefore, the Kaicheng F300 set of 5MT gear shift feels very good, and there is no jerky smell of pickup trucks. I even think it gave me the feeling of having been a manual Fox and a golfer.
Although it is a 50,000-piece pickup truck, the Changan Kaicheng F30 is not hard to drive, and even has a little bit of SUV comfort. It adopts the newly tuned EPS electronic power steering, turning, hitting the direction are relatively easy; in terms of chassis, the front suspension adopts a double wishbone coil spring independent suspension, bearing capacity, impact reliability, shock absorption stroke are second only to the overall bridge suspension of the best choice, and the rear suspension uses 3 + 2 thick gradient stiffness spring, which not only ensures the strong heavy load capacity of the pickup truck, but also provides damping effect between the reeds.
Of course, for pickup trucks, the "big drag bucket" is the key to "being able to load". The long-axis version of Kaicheng F300 cargo box size is 2020*1465*400mm, and it supports independent retraction on three sides. Loading, loading 13, loading cool..., in short, loading anything.
