When it comes to utility models, people often only think of SUVs, but forget that there is another type of more functional model - pickup trucks. In addition to having better road passability than SUVs, pickup trucks also have a fairly good loading capacity. In March, the newly listed Foton Mammoth Diesel 8AT is a super practical Yishang IKEA pickup truck, and today the old driver will take everyone to feel the Mammoth Diesel 8AT model.
The current pickup design is no longer as earthy as before, more and more literary, but that kind of literature and art has not abandoned the masculinity that pickup truck should have. The front face shape of the diesel 8AT angry lion, with the integrated headlights of the near and far light, gives people a domineering and tough at the same time, but also more and more like the current SUV design, the home model is getting heavier and heavier.
The vehicle size is 5603/1860/1860mm, the wheelbase reaches 3398mm; the cargo box length reaches 1805mm, the ultra-long flat cargo box, the loading space is increased by 10%; so the size ensures that it has good passability and has a fairly good loading capacity at the same time, which can be described as a large cargo box, no matter how much it is not afraid!
The diesel 8AT carriage is equipped with three hooks on both sides of the left and right sides, which is convenient for users to install canvas and grid fixed items in the car, in addition, the cargo compartment adopts waterproof sunscreen and anti-corrosion materials, and the vehicle is more convenient to clean after loading some fishing gear or agricultural and sideline products, and the details are still in place.
Homely interior Comfortable ride space
Like the exterior design, the interior of the Mammoth Diesel 8AT is becoming more and more homely, and the large area of leather makes the interior compartment more and more classy. The central control layout is the design of the early SUVs, the upper half is the multimedia area, the lower half is the air conditioning control area, and the partition is clear and easy to use. Equipped with reversing radar, the ninth generation ABS + EBD, active safety protection, tire pressure monitoring, real-time monitoring of tire tire pressure, safety configuration is still in place.
As we already mentioned earlier, the products of the Diesel 8AT are becoming more and more urbanized, and in addition to the design, another place that shows urbanization is the ride comfort. Spacious ride space, with a large soft seat, long-distance self-driving travel is easy to cope with. The 1.7-meter-tall experiencer has a fairly good ride space in the back row after ensuring a standard driving position in the front seat. Because the pickup truck is relatively tall, it is equipped with a handle at each inner door frame to facilitate the driver and occupants to get on and off. In addition, the Fierce Diesel 8AT is also equipped with an openable sunroof, which is a super surprise to the driver and occupants.
Drive as easily as an SUV and drive low fuel consumption
In terms of power, the 2.0T diesel power and ZF 8AT transmission, which inherit the century-old Cummins power technology gene, have a maximum torque of 390 Nm, a maximum power of 120 kW, and the official fuel consumption of 100 km can be as low as 7.5 liters.
Do you know what this means for a pickup truck with a wheelbase of more than 3.3m and a fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 km? The fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 kilometers is equivalent to the fuel consumption of small SUVs in gasoline vehicles, which can be said to be quite economical in the context of high fuel consumption at present.
The vehicle also offers ECO and Sport modes, in addition to paddle shifters. Drivers can switch ECO mode or sport mode according to their own preferences, adding a playability to the pickup truck, and will also develop the diesel 8AT to a more comfortable and luxurious "family car".
The test drive of the road for paving the road, the diesel 8AT using hydraulic assistance, said that it is not as light as the use of electronic steering in the current urban SUV, but in the EF 8AT automatic transmission to support the driving control of the vehicle is still very light, low-speed driving and the current SUV driving feeling will not be much different.
Only at high speed and in the case of sharp turns, affected by the chassis structure and the tail compartment, the rear of the vehicle is relatively obvious, and the overall driving comfort is already at the middle and upper level in the same level. Although the test drive did not enter the off-road section to experience, but with a minimum ground clearance of 200mm, the maximum climbing angle of 60%, and its four-wheel drive collocation believes that its performance is not bad.
The vehicle adopts a number of timely four-wheel drive systems commonly used in home and off-road oriented pickup trucks, with two-wheel drive/ automatic / high-speed four-wheel drive / low-speed four-wheel drive four-wheel drive four-drive form. The timely four-wheel drive is obviously to make it more convenient to use the car, and the switching four-wheel drive is more intelligent and more "on demand".
Old driver comments: Domestic automatic pickup trucks used to be synonymous with high-end pickups, and most of the models that could be bought in the past were imported models, such as Ford Raptors and Toyota Tantu, but the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars was not affordable for ordinary families. With the upgrading of domestic consumption, more and more budget users of about 100,000 people have increased demand for automatic transmissions, and Futian smelled this market segment and launched the fierce diesel 8AT. In terms of experience, the Diesel 8AT maintains the original design and strong loading capacity, four-wheel drive passability while improving vehicle comfort, driving convenience, so that its user base further expanded, if you want to buy a IKEA pickup truck, the Diesel 8AT is a good choice.
