The elk test, although placed 10 years ago in China may not have been heard of by 90%, but in the past two years, I don't know how, it has become one of the hottest tests in China's automotive circle.
Although the elk test is called elk, it has nothing to do with elk, after all, elk is an authentic Chinese species like the giant panda, and the elk test is an imported product from Sweden, which was originally called moose test, which is moose test. Translated as the elk test can not be said to be shinyada, but it is basically out of reach.
This test is actually not complicated, according to the internationally recognized ISO 3888-2 test standard, that is, after entering the field at a specific speed, do not step on the accelerator, brakes, and carry out continuous high-speed line changes.
This was originally a performance requirement created by Nordic drivers dodging these moose that could weigh nearly 1 ton in the car. In China, although elk and moose will not appear on the road, I believe that the ghost probe's small electric donkey is seen a lot, so this test is still very meaningful.
In recent years, more and more car companies are keen to do elk testing, which does not mean that elk testing is very easy. Just two years ago, when Toyota's new blockbuster RAV4 was tested for elk, the two wheels on one side at a speed of 68 km/h left the ground at the same time, and the result was a deprecated evaluation.
After all, the SUV model has a high center of gravity and a heavy body, and the elk test results are generally not good.
However, as a domestic technology-oriented car company, Xingtu has been sparing no effort to strengthen the performance of the model itself in all aspects and challenge various impossibilities. On the first day of the "72-hour relay live challenge" of the S S, a new record of 85.9km/h elk test SUV was created, which made everyone have more expectations for this new car, which is defined as a "track-level performance SUV".
So, what exactly is the strength of this car?
If it doesn't work, I'll know it on the track
As a new car known as a "track-level performance SUV", the Starway S chose the track as a place to prove its strength. A 72-hour relay live challenge was held with the participation of a number of professional drivers and industry leaders, demonstrating the hard power of Xingtu Lingyun S in all aspects.
The record-breaking 85.9km/h elk test record was broken by a number of racers in a field placed in accordance with ISO 3888-2 test standards.
We can see that the Starway S has completed the standard elk test at speeds of more than 80km/h under the driving of several drivers.
Of course, some people like to use a car's elk test results to emphasize its handling, but this is not true, because the elk test is actually a safety test.
The working conditions of the car in daily driving are completely different from the extreme working conditions of the elk test, the lateral acceleration of the elk test can reach 0.8g, and our daily driving is at most 0.3g, which is not too direct reference value for daily driving control. The elk test reflects the safety performance of a car at high speed to avoid the extreme conditions of steering such as obstacles, although the performance is as fast as possible, but it does not have to be over-interpreted.
However, we must also admit that the results of the Starway S have led the SUV model, which shows that the Starway S has a solid chassis to ensure its safety under extreme conditions. Such attention to safety also proves that the Xingtu brand has a serious attitude in the creation of Lingyun S products.
Of course, as a "track-level performance SUV", it not only requires a solid chassis, but also a strong performance. In this challenge, Starway S also challenged the extreme performance test. In the challenge of several professional drivers, the Starway S ran the fastest 100 km/h acceleration of 6.0s on the track.
In addition to benefiting from the technology of professional drivers, such achievements also come from the strong performance support of Starway S. It adopts a powertrain of 2.0T+7DCT, with a maximum horsepower of 261Ps, a maximum torque of 400N·m, and has been re-adjusted by a team of top engineers from all over the world for various handling performances, so that Lingyun S has a stronger track performance.
Summary: At present, China's SUV market competition is fierce, and the product homogenization is serious. In the case that everyone emphasizes fuel saving, space, luxury and intelligence, Xingtu has created Lingyun S, a product that emphasizes the unique product power of control and performance while maintaining these competitiveness, which may attract the attention of young consumers in the market. Such a differentiated play method is believed to not only appear in Lingyun S to open up market awareness, but also to build a broader product awareness of the Xingtu brand.
In addition, for a product like Starway S that has enhanced performance, I am also looking forward to the follow-up test drive experience. Will a medium-sized SUV that emphasizes handling and performance bring me more surprises? We will also continue to pay attention.
