Changan has created a new explosive model, with a shape on par with off-road vehicles, four-wheel drive with locks, and a range of more than 1,000km
At a time when many manufacturers are emphasizing sports crossover SUVs, Great Wall has brought the tank brand to the market and began to explore the independent high-end hard-core SUV market, and the Tank 300 is one of the most successful examples. In the current new energy SUV market, many manufacturers hope to bring high-end smart SUVs to consumers through lower prices, trying to lower the entry threshold for smart cars, and at this time, Changan has become the first to make changes, it has brought a new SUV product that integrates "sport, hard, and intelligence" - dark blue G318.
Just like countless people's fantasy of 318 national highway, dark blue G318 has entered the market with a very futuristic style, as a new energy model with extended range electric drive, it not only has the closed front face of pure electric SUV, but also retains the main grille of fuel vehicles in the unique high-strength front bumper surrounded by hard SUVs, two-in-one creativity, so that the vehicle looks hard enough, but it is never stiff.
The same concept has also been applied to the shaping of the body panels, the vehicle does not use the "flat" design of many Japanese or American off-road vehicles, from the engine compartment to the doors, and then to the tailgate with a side-opening design, the vehicle has added more stamping ups and downs to the specific panel disposal, which can not only bring richer light and shadow to the body, but also allow it to cater to those who are more accustomed to the aesthetics of urban SUVs. If I had to find a visual reference for this car, it would be more like a Jeep's Grand Cherokee than a Wrangler.
In terms of size, the body of 4915/1985/1885mm has both a wide body and a very tall body, the wide body comes from the vehicle's wide range of off-road surrounds in the chassis, in order to improve the vehicle's survivability in complex road conditions, and the width of the body itself can optimize the cabin space to a certain extent, and the excellent clear height will also have the same effect, which can optimize both ground clearance and internal head height. Of course, the wheelbase of 2880mm is not outstanding in the medium and large SUV market, but luxury medium and large SUVs like the Touareg do not actually emphasize too much size, after all, this size is enough for an SUV with a two-row 5-seat layout to ensure a wide ride and storage space.
In fact, we have seen the cockpit style of new energy hard-core SUVs or off-road vehicles on models such as the Tank 400 and the Formula Leopard Leopard 5, which are more or less biased towards the layout and decoration style of traditional off-road vehicles, so as to avoid overly innovative interiors affecting the user's off-road driving experience. But dark blue doesn't think so,Deep blueG318Although the general structure is still T-shaped style,But whether it's its suspended 14.6-inch touch screen,Or a slightly curved fan decoration,Or the layered structure of the inside and outside,It can immediately brighten its new energy identity,And realize the intelligent control of the cockpit and diversified intelligent interaction through the car machine,This is consistent with its "new hard school of science and technology"Positioning。
In terms of power, dark blue G318 is the first product equipped with super range extender 2.0, based on the 1.5T range extender, provided with a single motor or dual motor version, among them, a single motor can provide 185kW maximum power, and the dual motor will bring 316kW total power, and its composition of the four-wheel drive system to achieve all-working conditions four-wheel drive, can carry out stepless torque distribution, whether in the outbreak, or in the response speed is significantly better than the traditional fuel vehicle, with the power battery, can achieve 190km pure electric range and more than 1000km comprehensive endurance, feed fuel consumption is only 6.7L/100km。 At the same time, dark blue G318 also supports the central differential lock function, and also lays out a magnetic mechanical differential lock in the chassis, which can carry out innovative functions such as turning around on the spot at the same time, and also has the ability to get out of trouble autonomously like a traditional off-road vehicle.
However, it should be noted that the dark blue G318 adopts a load-bearing body structure, which will be conducive to the dynamic control of the vehicle, with the front double wishbone + rear multi-link independent suspension combination, it will also be guaranteed in terms of comfort, and the torsional rigidity of up to 45000N·m/deg allows it to achieve multi-purpose safety with 1600kg trailer qualification. In order to further optimize the vehicle's dynamic performance, the vehicle has R-EPS steering assist on the road and five terrain driving modes on off-road, which can cover the urban road and the wild environment simultaneously, which not only adds fun but does not sacrifice comfort.
Write at the end
When we see the name of "new hard-core SUV with technology", we will think that the dark blue G318 is going to be a gimmick again, but when we really approach this car, we find that Chang'an does use all the scientific and technological means and technologies that can be used to create a more practical hard-core SUV, not only to make the vehicle have the same multi-road performance as a traditional off-road vehicle, but also to take into account the current user's high requirements for comfort and intelligence. Although there are still a lot of configurations that have not yet been announced about the dark blue G318, it has already reflected the potential of "explosive models", as for whether the potential can finally be realized into sales, it depends on the final configuration and corresponding pricing.
