Let's continue last week's topic, Changan Hunter is an extended-range pickup truck model, I have introduced its static performance in detail before, today, I will share with you some feelings of driving.
Let's talk about the most basic parameters first, Changan Hunter uses the Blue Whale powered 2.0T gasoline engine as a range extender, the chassis has a 31.18 degree battery, a pure electric range of about 131km, and a comprehensive range of more than 1000km with full fuel and full power. The one introduced today is a four-wheel drive model, with front and rear dual motors, a total power of 200kW, a peak torque of 470 Nm· meters, and an acceleration of 100 kilometers in 7.9 seconds. It is also available in a single-motor rear-wheel drive version with 130 kW of power and 320 N·m of torque, lowering the barrier to entry.
Take my four-wheel drive model as an example, it has a lot of driving modes, there are four conventional modes, standard, economic, sport, custom, because it is an extended range power, so in the power mode there are pure electric priority, fuel priority, automatic, forced pure electric, one-key assistance, daily driving I prefer to use economy + forced pure electric to travel in the city, you can do the maximum pure electric endurance, short-distance travel is enough, at this time the cost of the car is also very low, according to the price of fast charging 1 yuan 1 degree, full charge is only 30 yuan, can be used all day, If there are conditions for home charging, you can commute for a day for a few dollars on a full charge, which is cheaper than the subway. If you want to run at high speed, you can use it directly like a traditional fuel vehicle in fuel priority mode, and there will be no anxiety about the range of electric cars.
If you occasionally take some bad roads, the rich off-road mode can also reduce the difficulty of passing, in the face of various terrains, you only need to choose the corresponding mode to easily pass, and the off-road master mode can customize a lot of functions, it is recommended that players with off-road experience to use.
Changan Hunter's 2.0T range extender is more powerful than many range extender models using a 1.5T engine, with higher efficiency in power generation, and can be replenished faster when the battery is low. The front and rear dual-motor drive power is on call, and the acceleration feeling can be comparable to that of many large-displacement fuel vehicles, and the acceleration is very light and effortless, and there is no need to worry too much about fuel consumption.
The vehicle's suspension is tuned softly, filtering road information cleanly on the road, and the thick sidewall also helps with shock absorption. In the rapid parallel of the center of gravity shift, although the body is taller and the suspension is softer, but in fact, the battery located in the chassis lowers the center of gravity, so it makes people more confident to drive, of course, a pickup truck, or try to avoid intense driving.
The braking force is very linear, and you can press as you go, and when you close the accelerator, you don't have a lot of the dragging feeling when you recuperate the kinetic energy of the tram, so you won't get motion sickness when you drive well. Special praise is given to the noise control, which is so comfortable to have such a quiet cockpit in a pickup. Because the hunter is electrically driven every day, it is very quiet to drive when the engine is not starting, and there is basically only wind noise. Some sounds can be heard when the engine starts, but it quickly adapts to the wind noise, which is much better than the "rattle" sounds of diesel pickups.
The four-wheel drive model is also equipped with low-speed four-wheel drive gears and front and rear differential locks, so you can have a certain ability to get out of trouble after replacing off-road tires, and it is enough to go out for self-driving trips to cope with most road conditions. In addition, in its cargo box, there is also a 3.3kW external discharge, which is very useful when camping.
Overall, the hunter is not at all the impression of an old and dilapidated pickup, but a more passenger car feeling, four-wheel drive models go back to change tires to travel by car, go out without worrying about battery life, the city can also be completely electric driving, home is not really wrong. As for what advantages extended-range pickups have over traditional pickups, we'll talk about them next time.
