In the past, the biggest gap between domestic brand models and joint venture brands was in the powertrain, but with the rise of domestic brands, it is no longer the same as before, and the domestic brands represented by Chery have surpassed joint ventures and even luxury brands in terms of reliability and power of independently developed engines and gearboxes.
In August this year, the new SUV of the Xingtu brand, the Xingtu Lingyun (picture| configuration | inquiry) 400T was officially launched, and a total of 5 configuration models were launched, with an official guidance price of 157,900-179,900. In addition to the ultra-high configuration and cost performance of this car, it is commendable for its power system.
Chery's achievements in the field of engine technology have always been obvious to all, and so far, a total of 6 engines have won the title of "China Heart" Top Ten. Recently, we also went to Mujiayu Airport in Miyun, Beijing, to have a detailed experience of the performance of this model in terms of power.
At the power level, relying on the global high-performance M3X Mars architecture PRO, the Xingtu Lingyun 400T is equipped with a high-power engine of 2.0TGDI powered by star core. Compared with the original products, through the technical optimization of the pressure oil pump, gas distribution mechanism material and intelligent combustion system, the oil supply capacity has been increased by 30%, the exhaust temperature capacity has been increased by 2%, and the thermal efficiency has reached 41%.
At the level of specific parameters, the maximum power of this 2.0TGDI engine reaches 192kW, the peak torque reaches an astonishing 400Nm, and we measured that the acceleration of zero hundred kilometers takes only 6.94 seconds, which not only far exceeds the 2.0T engine of the joint venture brand, but even has been comparable to the power level of many 3.0T engines, and there are few opponents within 200,000.
In the test process, the sport mode without ejection direct throttle to the end of the power is very direct, the initial acceleration of the power is simply impeccable, until 80km / h of the push back feeling has no obvious weakening trend, the overall acceleration feeling is by no means a simple 6 seconds to break the hundred can be reflected.
In addition to the excellent explosive power in the front section, relying on excellent torque and power, the Starway 400T also performed very well in the middle and rear sections. The test drive experience is mainly aimed at 0-400 meters acceleration, which is also a variety of American muscle cars in many racing movies and many often involved in the competition, and this car also ran 15.19 seconds.
What is the concept of this achievement?
Taking several current mainstream luxury brand SUVs as an example, the Audi Q5L is 15.18 seconds, the Volvo XC60 is 16.15 seconds, the Mercedes-Benz GLC 260 is 16.64 seconds, and the Porsche Macan, which is known for its sports, is 15.01 seconds.
In fact, in the 0-400 meters test, many people choose to eject to start, in fact, this is also the conventional operation of this project, but if you do not grasp the speed of the catapult, it will cause the wheel to slip in place and then rush forward, and the test is also on the cement floor where the adhesion is not very good.
In fact, Xiaobian believes that if you change a set of tires with stronger grip, it is not impossible to catch up with or even surpass the results of the Porsche Macan.
In addition to linear acceleration, the Performance of the Starway 400T in terms of maneuverability also surprised me.
Previously, Xingtu Lanyue had opened our eyes in the elk test, and the Xingtu Lingyun 400T was no less than the Xingtu Lanyue in the pile and simple elk test, whether it was the steering feel or the posture and following of the body were very good, in the limited venue can not test where the limit of this car is, the future is also looking forward to more professional racing drivers in a more professional venue to reveal the answer for us.
Red dot observation:
At the pre-test drive briefing, Dr. Gao Xinhua, deputy general manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd., president of the General Institute of Automotive Engineering and Technology Research and Development, and general manager of The Xingtu brand, said: "The word Lingyun is taken from chairman Mao's famous poem "Water Tune Song Head: Heavy on Jinggangshan" - long time there is Ling yunzhi, heavy on Jinggangshan. Named after Lingyun, it has a profound meaning. ”
Lingyun represents the brand spirit of Xingtu Automobile daring to break through and dare to explore, which is also the root of our past foundation, and we also look forward to more domestic brands like Chery and Xingtu, daring to break through their own era.
