In March, the sun is springing and rushing. Although the north is still cold in spring, the south is already full of spring, with new branches of trees sprouting and mountains full of horse rhododendrons. In Beijing, I sucked the fresh air on the plateau, and the nutrition that belongs to nature nourishes the land like breast milk, but the experience of exploring the lofty mountains and mountains of this secret land is also rare and difficult, and I need a reliable partner, such as the second generation of Haval Big Dog Fuel Version.
Tengchong Box is our first destination, driving in from a rough path, the eyes are open, just like the name "Box", surrounded by mountains wrapped in a flat green field and a clear lake, which perfectly interprets Tengchong's sense of seclusion. The horse farm here has been temporarily converted into a testing ground for off-road subjects. Once when I was test driving a generation of big dogs, I was impressed by its flexibility and stability in controlling complex subjects, and the upgraded second generation big dog must have better performance.
Off-road subjects are still familiar cross-shafts, shell craters, sliding shafts, side slopes, humps, etc., and in the face of these challenges, the second-generation big dog can cope with it without locking. In the process of passing through uneven roads and shell craters, continuous bumps test the stability of the vehicle very much, and the second-generation big dog's ability to suppress body shaking is very high, and there is no obvious violent swing during driving; In the hump and side slope project, the obstacles around the vehicle can be clearly seen through the 360-degree panoramic image + 180-degree transparent chassis.
At the same time, it can switch to the wheel perspective to better grasp the vehicle status and road conditions; Finally, the cross shaft and four-wheel drive roller shaft, in the face of multiple wheels suspended or slipping, relying on the electronically controlled four-wheel drive system to intelligently distribute the torque output of the front and rear axles, easily avoid the phenomenon of wheel slippage, and can calmly pass through complex roads such as ice and snow, gravel, potholes, and sand.
But subject test drives are like college entrance examinations, and what is really cruel is the test of reality. Daying Mountain is the highest active volcano in Tengchong, Yunnan, and the road up the mountain is particularly steep and complicated, and the simulated off-road subjects just experienced instantly transform into mountains and forests, once again challenging the second-generation big dog. Gravel roads, shell craters, bumpy roads, truly off-road, the complexity of the road conditions is difficult to simulate in the field subjects, coupled with narrow lanes and continuous curves, the challenge is just beginning.
The second-generation Big Dog fuel version adopts a 2.0T engine mated to a 9-speed DCT gearbox, and the strong power output gives me enough driving confidence. The new car will also have a new upgrade of passability, approach angle 24 °, departure angle 30 °, longitudinal passing angle 19 °, minimum ground clearance 200mm, and at the same time with up to 9 all-terrain driving modes in the car, than the general city SUV has stronger road adaptability and passing ability, in addition, as the only non-load-bearing four-wheel drive model with rear axle differential lock in the 300,000 class, the second-generation big dog has a better ability to get out of trouble, and can achieve 100% torque output on both sides of the rear axle. It can cope with more complex road conditions.
In addition to the excellent off-road ability of the second-generation big dog, it is worth mentioning its riding experience, driving on such a bumpy mountain road, being able to pass must also ensure the comfort of the people in the car. The 14.6-inch central console screen in the car is equipped with a new coffee OS system, in addition to intelligent upgrades, the seats are wide and wrapped strongly, ensuring comfort and taking into account safety during off-roading. The rear row is equipped with sunshades for privacy. It is worth mentioning the NVH performance in the car, the front windows on both sides are double-laminated glass, the vehicle starts and stops continuously on unpaved roads, but the noise from this 2.0T engine is almost inaudible.
There are also many bright equipment for outdoor enthusiasts in the car, such as camping mosquito repellent lights, trunk tables, 50W wireless charging, etc., the second-generation big dog not only considers the difficulties and dangers on the road, but also considers the enjoyment experience after arriving at the destination.
With the second generation of big dogs, going up the mountain is like clouds and water, and many times I even feel that I can go faster. The view from the top of the mountain is quite spectacular, and the mountain breeze blows, but I feel that the off-road road that has just been extremely bumpy is a kind of unbridled relaxation, and the passion of returning to the original is difficult to obtain in daily life. As a non-professional off-road enthusiast, the second generation of Haval big dog has almost no rivals in this category, its unique off-road talent and comfortable cockpit, as well as a variety of choices of oil and electricity, make this car more playable, and can also be friends with "ambition" to go further and explore more secret places.
