Although the variety of urban SUVs is diverse and blooming everywhere, but more is biased towards the expansion of urban multi-functional development, really want to play hard, but also look at it!
Racial superiority
As a non-load-bearing body of the hardcore SUV, Jiangxi Isuzu-mu-X Ranger (hereinafter referred to as mu-X Ranger) has a suspension structure of front double wishbonds, and the rear suspension is an integral bridge non-independent suspension.
The overall bridge design of the rear axle, if the wheel is raised when off-road, the overall bridge will automatically raise the bottom parts such as the differential, so it can reduce the possibility of the chassis components being injured by ground obstacles; in addition, the overall bridge itself has a relatively high tolerance for various bumps, which is not difficult to understand that many hardcore SUVs are such designs.
Using the time-sharing four-wheel drive structure, there are high-speed two-wheel drive (2H), high-speed four-wheel drive (4H), low-speed four-wheel drive (4L) three four-wheel drive modes, of which low-speed four-wheel drive can amplify the torque by 2.48 times, so that the vehicle can get more powerful climbing and getting out of trouble.
The Eton differential lock equipped with the rear axle is a solid mechanical lock, which will be locked when there is a certain speed difference between the left and right wheels, and the power will be transmitted to the rear wheel with adhesion to improve the ability to get out of trouble. Compared with more electronic slip limiting mechanisms on the market, mechanical types are more reliable and stable.
The addition of 2.0T gasoline models is undoubtedly the best viable alternative to 1.9T diesel engines, as for the reasons you know. Powered by Ford JX4G20A6L 2.0T petrol engine, 220 hp, 350 Nm, matching ZF's 8AT gearbox, the book parameters are enough to see.
Jiangxi Isuzu-mu-X Pastoral Ranger
The characteristics of low torque and strongness make its acceleration within 60km/h extremely light, pay attention to the adjustment of low torsional explosion, for such a big guy weighing more than two tons, daily driving has an extraordinary power performance, the acceleration embarrassment of the body is no longer a hard SUV, do not care about the price of oil, you can also become the first car to rush out with the green light.
In addition to the bolts and rubber, the overall comfort of the suspension is quite gentle, and all the fine vibrations are easily pressed under the floor, with a unique sense of isolation of non-carrier bodies.
The chassis is not bad for the lateral roll control when paralleling or cornering, there will be no flickering and unconfident driving state, but you should not have any thoughts, big feet under the brakes or fast U-turns, body pitch, longitudinal support is also the usual performance of hard SUV.
In addition to the Flow Models of Lexus' Big 57 and tank families, most hardcore SUVs are more conservative in their design. I'm not saying they're not good-looking, but they don't have any characteristics, after all, stunning requires exaggerated lines and encirclement, which are not good for off-road, but also consider the attributes of the tool, so the ranger obviously does not go this way.
In the middle of the grille there are slightly exaggerated chrome bars that extend to the left and right and run through the two headlight assemblies. The lamp cavity adopts LED light source with integrated lens of far and near light, and has automatic headlights and height adjustment functions.
With an approach angle of 26°, a departure angle of 21°, and a minimum ground clearance of 225mm, it can handle most unpaved pavement conditions even without modification.
The mu-X Ranger design is conservative, so it's hard to spot its eye-catching design, and the only thing that impressed me was the 1830mm height and exaggerated wheel arches. The former ensures the field of vision and head space, and the latter reserves room for modification for the replacement of larger-size AT tires, knowing that it is also the official designated car of China National Geographic.
The interior could have been better
The interior is full of tool attributes, which does not contain pejorative meanings here, and the extension is simple and easy to use, the information reading is intuitive, the function operation is directly given, and the center console adopts a plastic-lining process plus leather material.
The display clarity of the 8-inch touch screen is not bad, the operation sensitivity is decent, and the functionality has practical functions such as GPS navigation, 360 ° panoramic image, and car-machine interconnection.
The pedal design is a bit chicken ribs, for the elderly and small children, the pedal area is slightly smaller; for adults like me (legs are quite long), it is a step into the car, the pedal and non-fully wrapped door design is easy to stain the pants.
The seat is wrapped in leather and with front heating function, the padding is softer, so the overall sense of riding is acceptable, but the length of the seat cushion is shortboard; in addition, the co-driver is 6-way electric adjustment (front and rear, pitch, waist support), does not support high and low adjustment, for its 279,800 guidance price, it is indeed almost meaningless.
Write at the end
I like that the hardcore SUV with girder is very simple, in poor road conditions, the sturdy chassis can effectively resist the impact from the ground, you can even rush through the throttle without worrying about the burden of the body and tires, simplifying the complex road surface, a "life and death look down, do not obey the dry" look; unfortunately, this scene, for urban life is less and less. In the same way, Jiangxi Isuzu-mu-X Ranger, which is equipped with a 2.0T gasoline engine, obviously wants to return to the mainstream vision and become a home tough guy, and the four-wheel drive 5-seater model guide price is 279,800, so will you pay the bill?
