Before there was a Toyota Camry at home, my girlfriend and I would rotate, but after we got engaged on New Year's Day last year, she had some bride price money in her hand, and she always wanted to buy a model of her own, and it was still the kind of hardcore off-road, because most of the female colleagues in their company, and many people like to play off-road, the girlfriend often took the girlfriend's car to go to the picnic or camping, for a long time, she also had a strong interest in this type of model. So take out a budget of 200,000, want a model that really belongs to themselves, at first we are both very optimistic about tank 300, but her girlfriend and other friends, but gave some more practical advice, and finally on last year's National Day, the girlfriend decisively gave up tank 300, mentioned a 2021 model of blade hero diesel version of the Beijing BJ40, at first I was not disgusted with this model, but I did not particularly like it, always felt that the tank 300 was better, but when I really understood the reason why my girlfriend chose it, I'm just starting to like this model.
First of all, in terms of appearance, although the Blade Hero Diesel version BJ40, and the tank 300 are positioned in the hardcore off-road model, but the difference in appearance is still very obvious, the body of the tank 300 is indeed square, but the design of the front face feels less like, the performance is not so rough and tough, and for the Blade Hero diesel version of BJ40, it adopts a hard-school aesthetic design, the body incorporates more rectangular elements, the overall look is more square and stylish, and in the color collocation, It is also more in line with the tastes of young people, and even in the hearts of many girls, there is an image of "pure grandfathers".
Of course, for the Blade Hero diesel version of the BJ40, it not only has a tough and handsome appearance, and under its tough body, there is a tender watery side, when sitting in its car, you will feel that the seat is not only wide and thick, but also very soft, its cushion size is sufficient, and the backrest angle can also be adjusted, even able to reach a half-lying state. Coupled with its width of more than 1.9m and a wheelbase of 2745mm, the rear space is very decent, whether it is the legs of The Stilt Erlang or Ge Youli, it can be easily realized.
It is not only in terms of comfort, and its tough shape has a great contrast, but also for the performance of NVH, it is also satisfactory, because the whole vehicle has done sound insulation and noise reduction treatment in many places, making the quiet performance in the car very good, even in the case of 100km per hour. The measured value is only 65.3dB, even better than some of the same level of urban SUVs performance, so that even long-distance travel, both can have a spacious and comfortable space performance, but also can bring a quiet and comfortable riding environment.
Of course, the reason why the tank 300 was abandoned and the blade hero diesel version BJ40 was chosen, there was a very important reason, because the tank 300 was currently all gasoline versions, although the No. 92 fuel could be added, but according to the current oil price, most parts of the country are still maintained in the "8 yuan era", plus the comprehensive fuel consumption of about 12L, in terms of economy, it is indeed not friendly enough. For the Blade Hero diesel version of the BJ40, it is equipped with a 2.0T diesel engine, with 163 horsepower, peak torque of 380N·m, matching the German ZF 8AT transmission, not only high transmission efficiency, but also the performance of economical fuel saving, comprehensive fuel consumption is only 8.5L, and even some owners fill up the 75L fuel tank, running a 1148km ultra-long distance on high speed. It is enough to show that its fuel economy is very good, coupled with the lower price of No. 0 diesel, it is obvious that it has a significant advantage in terms of travel costs.
For the Blade Hero Diesel version of the BJ40, although it looks tall and mighty, it is very easy to get started, sitting high, not only has a very wide field of view, but also its yacht-style gear lever, not only feels good, but also very convenient to operate. Coupled with its minimum turning radius of 11m, although it is huge, it is very flexible, so even if it is traveling through the city, the girlfriend is not stressful to drive.
However, for the blade hero diesel version of the BJ40's off-road capabilities, I have personally experienced and witnessed, whether in the desert next door, or the gravel-covered valley bottom, it has not disappointed, after all, its chassis height reached 220mm, with a 37 degree approach angle and a 31 degree departure angle, plus the front/middle/rear three locks, so that it can be flattened in a variety of complex road conditions, and in low-speed four-wheel drive mode, It can also amplify the torque by 2.542 times for getting out of trouble, in addition to that, it is not only able to climb the vertical height of 300mm wall, across the 500mm width of the deep ditch, but also wading capacity of 750mm, the overall off-road ability, completely below the tank 300.
At present, it is the spring season, our Blade Hero diesel version of BJ40, has also been bought for more than half a year, of which, my girlfriend and I have not only gone out to play alone a few times, but also with its colleagues and the brigade, traveled once, truly experienced endless happiness, that kind of unrestrained, free, debauched feeling is indeed intoxicating. So, for the 200,000 budget, the girlfriend decisively gave up the tank 300, and finally mentioned it, for more than half a year, never regretted it.
