As we all know, the high altitude and thin air of the plateau have great challenges for the performance of the car. Subaru has always carried out extreme testing of vehicles in various highlands in order to adapt its products to a variety of complex natural conditions. This time we came to Yunnan, and together with this new Forester, we retook the plateau test route of subaru engineers, and then a high altitude and long distance depth test.

DAY1

Lijiang

The average altitude is 2000 meters

"Bold" design

The feeling that forest people have always given us is a very special taste, with the functionality of SUV but not the kind of hard and tall hard shape, which is very differentiated in a number of similar SUV shapes. Subaru's new Forester adopts a new design concept of "boldness", which reinforces the outdoor image and shows a more powerful personality.

The tough body shape brought by the "bold" design language is more obvious in the front face, very three-dimensional, and from the front, there is really an aura, giving people a special "big" first look.

DAY2

Shangri-La

The average altitude is 3500 meters

Heirloom: Horizontal contrast

As we went up, the altitude was getting higher and higher, and the air was getting thinner. Along the way we're also doing some testing of the new Forester's dynamics. For example, during the climb, we changed the speed several times and found that the system actually had little power and torque attenuation. In addition, in the highland state, this 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine still has good staying power, deep power reserves, and the low center of gravity of the horizontal opposing structure is conducive to corner control, and the vibration is smaller.

Long-distance driving safety is paramount

In terms of technology, the biggest highlight of the new Forester I think is the equipment of the new generation EyeSight system. The camera is upgraded to a stereoscopic form, with a twice as large field of view and faster target recognition. The optimized EyeSight system allows for a wider field of view, more accurate image recognition and control, just as we are now in such an open natural environment, physically and mentally comfortable. These feature upgrades improve the overall performance of related driver safety systems such as full-speed adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance braking, and allow us to use these features with greater peace of mind.

The key point is to talk about the emergency automatic steering assist function in the EyeSight system, in the event of danger, the vehicle will actively steer assist to avoid collisions, which is very safe. In addition, lane centering and front car follow-up steering, the full speed range, can achieve follow-up steering and always keep the lane centered. And with the help of vehicle deviation correction assistance, the driving state can be more precisely controlled.

DAY3

White Horse Snow Mountain

The average altitude is 4500 meters

There is no place that cannot be visited

The new Forester has re-tuned the suspension system, optimized the suspension coil spring and shock absorber, and the fine vibration treatment of the road surface is more excellent, and we can feel that the suspension processing speed is faster, the rebound is stronger, and the overall texture is very good during the driving process of the non-paved gravel road.

Thanks to the relatively high approach and departure angles, the off-road passability of the new Foresters is still very good, and it is stressful to deal with some potholes. And the four-wheel drive system also has a strong control over torque and wheel slippage, so it can still pass effectively in the near-limit road conditions in front of our eyes.

And when it comes to multi-road processing capabilities, the new Forester optimizes X-MODE and steep slope mitigation control functions, such as X-MODE's new automatic reset function, which improves driving safety in harsh road conditions and makes Forester a vehicle that can take us to more places.

summary

All the way down, from Lijiang at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters to the Baima Snow Mountain Pass at an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters, the quality of subaru foresters is verified, very practical, very reliable, able to handle almost all road conditions, without any problems, and extremely stable. On the other hand, as an imported model, subaru's new Forester is also very well equipped and cost-effective, and through this long-distance plateau challenge, the new Forester can be said to have become our trusted and reliable partner.
