someone always says, are like a Volkswagen car up, it is not. Before
before I did not like to test drive the new Sagitar, also did not think that Taiwan handlebar costs have done the work face, the actual opening up the chassis a bit loose, a little sense of unbearable. If this was to infer the actual performance with other VW Sagitar old models or similar price, it may be wrong.
Left: Probe Shadow Right: Uses armor
and the test drive of the FAW-Volkswagen exploration shadow, in fact, SAIC Volkswagen Tiguan armor sister model, conforms to all current domestic joint venture enterprises are playing in two-car strategy. However, the similarity in appearance and FAW-Volkswagen shadow explore overseas edition models will be higher, some of the more authentic.
SAIC public transit armor I did not open, no right to speak, but the FAW-Volkswagen is offering a small SUV exploration shadow, after a test drive or to the I no small surprise, the main chassis is really good performance level, the same level models can be tuned preference for Chinese road conditions and the high level of youth.
daily driving, drag racing mountain, and even intense driving small track, explore the shadow of the suspension either deal with the horizontal axis vertical axis lateral support or brakes, rapid acceleration, its suppression of body posture are perfect, combined with the compact body, you will be surprised to find a “flexible” or “driving fun” word in a Volkswagen car.
Although inevitably limit state Tuitou, but exploration in the shadow people use everyday conditions, enough fun. The SUV, a car and do the same sharp, it is the ultimate pursuit of all manufacturers, while exploration shadow no exaggeration to say, the same price than most cars also “cars.”
Even more pleasing is that although the probe when the shadow of the intense driving like most cars, shock absorbers can be maintained even after the crushing bumpy road to filter out very good support. But when faced with potholes, its SUV comfort attributes will reveal it demonstrated, in shock after tenacious segment combined with the just still “hiding” of suspension travel, let the tires down to depths of secure underground potholes, guarantee the upper cabin will not change with tire action subsidence while still warmSophie to help occupants overlooked that the car owners “Ju tight” trap.
This sense of security is also found in large throw-speed road car jump widespread fear of throwing up, floor, plus up to about half in action, will be able to explore in the shadow ensuring complete comfort to defuse the situation would throw jump, pull both shock spring is maintained, the body also can make it. Really do a dual-purpose vehicles, the chassis has a certain skill advantages in the hundreds of thousands of small SUV.
In addition, other aspects are performing well on the golden mean. The test drive of the vehicle speed DSG 1.4T + 7, the maximum power of 110kW, 250Nmiddot; m maximum torque, 0-100km / h acceleration 8.8 seconds, but the power is not enough to cope with daily use temper.
is less than that which the carriage in the initial stage or in the early part of acceleration, the engine in order to ensure fuel economy, will usually speed at 1500 rpm, at this time will force kind of feeling high gear manual transmission jitter, but also passed to the hands of the driver through the steering wheel, the speed rose to power until 1800-2000 when the transfer will become smooth frizz no sense. So if you pay attention to the texture of the driver, select S block will remain at 2000 rpm rotational speed may be a good choice, besides exploration block shadow S is not aggressive, more like a slightly higher speed Comfort mode.
steering feel, brake accelerator pedal is your home public appearance, regarded as lovable in moderation areas. Transmission smoothness good, while downshifting speed can reach excellent standards DSG, but just as we all know, there is an upper limit DSG’s performance, especially at low speed texture or smaller than the state of the traditional AT, so DSG will only say that no matter how it happened. The same sound quite satisfactory, neither good nor bad, but the larger the size of the mirror at high speeds will produce a slight wind noise nuisance.
Appearance section, looks very EXPLORATION Movies & Petty, eight kinds of color body sufficient to show personality. It is noted that, throughout the taillights on the rear door trim only,And not light up.
The interior offers the same color and appearance of plaques, in fact, the car looks good, and not too cheap feeling.
space, my height 178cm, rear legroom punch 4 refers to the head space of 4 means that the performance is good, but still a slight gap behind Honda Bin space known for wisdom and XR-V.
As I write this article, explore the shadow of the market price guide has come out, at the current price point of view, really not a good start. Because 1.5L engine self-priming public as we all know, with the power completely flipped, with the 6AT shadow on this probe can do 0-100km / h acceleration time of 13.4 seconds …… how I remember that China’s successful Olympic bid when the public self-priming engine on this data, ah, is not …… “flood no mercy” when it has happened, and now the 2020, 0-100km / h acceleration time of 13.4 seconds, I do not evaluate a.
As for the cheapest version of the 1.4T models have to go to 147 900, although exploration shadow whole system comes standard Carplay, reverse image. At the same time in addition to low with the “still” version of the other models also comes standard with a full LCD instrument panel, cruise control, panoramic sunroof, LED headlights and daytime running lights, interior ambient lighting and other configurations, but the price is a little guidance expensive, while the whole system without electronic handbrake indeed seemed a bit plunges. As it is worthwhile to buy it, I think this type of car to see eye edge of it, after all, most of them are his own, to express individuality, while various models have various advantages, if you pay more attention to the chassis of sense , this car would be a good choice, but remember to buy 1.4T version, after all, self-priming models by 1.5 barrel effect limited it is difficult to stimulate this car “Smart” bright spot.
