JEEP, which is tougher than the Wrangler, is not priced as a float, but unfortunately "enjoys" pickup treatment
JEEP is a very typical SUV expert, the entire brand has been professionally creating SUV products from beginning to end, and there is no shortage of some real hardcore off-road SUVs, if your dream is poetry and far away, the car that often appears in the dream is the Wrangler, the appearance of this car is in line with the tough guy temperament, the off-road ability has also been verified by time, although the comfort is poor, but it is very suitable as a partner for long-distance off-road travel. In fact, JEEP has a more practical model than the Wrangler, which is the Gladiator.
The model was not introduced to the Chinese market before, almost is the Custom Product of the North American market, but after last year's appearance at the domestic auto show, it was determined to introduce the news, recently JEEP Gladiator finally gave the Chinese market guidance price, the first batch of only launched an advance version of the configuration model, priced at 509,900, this pricing compared to the Wrangler is actually not a drift, but unfortunately in the domestic limited sale of 500 units, the more hardcore army green version is only 150 units.
If you only look at the front of the car and the cockpit, you feel that this car is no different from the Wrangler, in fact, the gladiator and the Wrangler are essentially different embodiments of a model, the gladiator is divided into pickup truck types, the total length of the body reaches 5592mm, the front row adopts a 2 + 2 seat layout, the rear row is an open cargo bucket, in terms of loading capacity, the gladiator is obviously far more than the Wrangler.
Larger size brings a stronger aura, nearly 5.6 meters of total body length, more than 3.4 meters of ultra-long wheelbase, coupled with a minimum ground clearance of 249 mm, JEEP gladiator is obviously a domineering presence in off-road circles. Compared to the American off-road pickup like the Ford Raptor, the Gladiator has the iconic 7-hole intake mesh, which is more aesthetically pleasing with round retro headlights.
If you pay special attention to the sense of science and technology, then the gladiator is obviously not dominant, the car only provides a semi-LCD digital dashboard, and the size of the navigation screen in the middle of the table is not large, especially the car machine system is different from today's very cool domestic cars.
As a parallel import model, this time the gladiator did not castrate the power system, the original 3.6 liter displacement naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine is very attractive, the maximum output of the original state is 284 horsepower, and the matching is an 8at hand self-integrated gearbox. Such a combination is destined to have a relatively high fuel consumption, and the comprehensive fuel consumption data declared in China is 11.1 liters per 100 kilometers, and the actual low-speed off-road will certainly be higher.
If you compare the Wrangler series products, this 509,900 gladiator has a 6-cylinder engine is a major strength, and the feeling of driving is definitely different from the 2.0T engine. Unfortunately, such a product as Gladiator is destined to be niche in the Chinese market, because it is a pickup truck treatment that is enjoyed in China, and the two words of enjoyment here should be quoted, because the domestic pickup truck will be more inconvenient than the SUV.
Spend more than 500,000 to buy gladiators, you have to first bear 15 years of mandatory scrapping rules, the annual inspection of models is more frequent, slightly larger cities, even do not allow pickup trucks into the city, larger bodies and higher fuel consumption will also make ordinary wage earners prohibitive.
