When the term polytechnic man is mentioned, most people naturally have the three labels of "technology" and "precision" but "lack of beauty" in their minds. And it is with the legendary model of Pajero that Mitsubishi has left a deep-rooted image of a polytechnic man in the minds of Volkswagen.
However, in the context of the whole society advocating new energy and electric vehicles, Pajero has gradually changed from a practical god car to a historical collection. So Mitsubishi also joined forces with GAC to create the first domestic new energy model: Atuka. As an SUV with a price range of 199,800-229,800 yuan, it is by no means expensive in the current new energy market, but in addition to the not too high price, what are the unique advantages of Artuco?
Net red face is nothing more than a hardcore style
First of all, if nothing else, the surprise brought to me by the overall appearance of Artuko, which has a strong sense of technology, is big enough. Even when I first drove the car from the hotel's underground garage, I repeatedly confirmed the license plate several times, after all, we had never seen such a sharp Mitsubishi before.
In the entire body design, Artuco's front face has the strongest impact. In the headlights part, Artuka adopts the split headlight design of the current Internet celebrity. Not only that, but compared to other relatively hollow split headlight designs, Artuco's split headlights are divided by a chrome trim strip. The extension of the chrome trim strip from thin to thick accentuates the strong sense of technology of the split type, and also makes the front grille more eye-catching, quite a bit of a hard-hitting atmosphere.
Why the more eye-catching front grille? Because the very unique design will make you see this car for the first time, the first glance is definitely the front grille.
From top to bottom, the wide and narrow matte spokes are stacked layer by layer, and the edges of each spoke are rigid straight lines to highlight the hardcore. In order to make the hard school not lose its sense of technology and refinement, the spokes are also covered with angular holes of different sizes. With Mitsubishi itself symbolizing the logo of the hardcore style, it can be said that it is a very unique but very attractive hardcore new energy SUV at the moment.
Of course, in addition to the front face, the tail of Artuko also emphasizes the design concept of combining the future with the hardcore. Combined with the hidden door handles on the side, Atuka as gac Mitsubishi's first new energy SUV does have an extremely good appearance.
The interior is simple and textureless
As a hardcore new energy SUV, Artuco adopts the most common minimalist style design of about 200,000 in the interior. However, now in the new energy market, it is inevitable that there will be models with poor materials in the name of simplicity, and everyone will naturally have a certain resistance to the word "simple". But this time, I put simplicity on the interior of Artuka, which I think is just right.
Take the center console, for example. Although most of the parts in the car are outlined in a stiff straight line, you can feel the softness of this tough atmosphere when you touch it with your hand. This is because most areas of the center console and other places within easy reach of the car are wrapped in soft leather fabrics, combined with uncomplicated overall cockpit color matching to interpret the level of the simple interior of about 200,000 priced new energy models.
Of course, in addition to the excellent texture, I personally think there is another very important detail, that is, the elevation design of the electronic gear rod. The first time I drove this car, I was carrying a SLR, but when I sat in the driver's seat, I found that Canon's single hair was still hanging on my body, so I directly stuffed the SLR into the storage space under the electronic gear lever. As a result, I didn't expect to actually stuff it in, and I didn't even have more vacancies at all. This made me take a closer look, and finally found that this design not only makes the storage space under the electronic barrier no longer ribbed and not obtrusive in appearance, but even has a certain bonus for the hardcore style.
But compared to my personal opinion, there is also a point that everyone appreciates the back row space. It's really big to a realm, if the rear armrests are more luxurious, then the passengers sitting in the rear will treat this compact SUV as a medium-sized SUV of 500,000 classes.
The charm of "Polytechnic Man"
Having already talked about the aspects of this time Artuka that is different from the impression of Mitsubishi Polytechnic men, now we return to the scientific and technological charm of the polytechnic man himself.
First of all, we directly hit the core part of new energy vehicles: motors and batteries. Atuka's motor system adopts Nidec's "three-in-one" electric drive as an integrated design of motor + differential + motor controller, and the biggest feature is the high power density. The maximum power of this permanent magnet synchronous motor is 165KW, and the maximum torque is 350N· M-equivalent 3.0L self-priming engine, and by the way Tesla's Model X also uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor.
The most intuitive feeling that this power system brings to me is that the whole car is very aggressive in the sport mode, and even when you gently click the pedal, Atuka is like a bull that is eager to try, ready to rush at any time. As soon as you slam off the pedal, Atukao makes a futuristic, unique sound that comes out with a slightly slippery tire.
In the matching of the battery, Artuco uses a ternary lithium battery provided by a Mercedes-Benz EQ supplier. The maximum capacity is 70 kWh, the maximum battery life is 520KM, and the fast charging SOC 30%-80% takes only half an hour. Coupled with the I-Pedal mode, which is strong enough to make the passengers in the car feel strongly, the endurance performance of the whole vehicle will be further improved.
In addition to the motor and battery, Artuco can also bring more surprises to the driver in terms of handling. Thanks to the high-performance 50:50 weight ratio chassis, the vehicle's center of gravity is low and centered. The intuitive feedback to the driving experience is that the cornering is stable, the large angle of the bend even if the speed is slightly faster the body does not roll, and even the small angle of the bend can be more bold to pull the steering wheel. And when there are small potholes, you can feel a little bit of the feeling of the boat, but it is still a little hard, but fortunately, the body does not have extra jumping, even if you sit in the back seat, it is not bad.
