December 19, Changan Ford cutting-edge all-occasion officially listed after the listing will be, I also participated in the sharp inter-site test drive, just to share with you today my test drive experience.
sharp inter-site test drive events scheduled in the Ford brand in Japan, this test drive We arranged four project experience, experience, respectively, four-wheel drive vehicles, control and power performance aspects.
take a look at a vehicle test drive, test drive 2.0T four-wheel drive models are sharp occasion of ST-Line models, the listing of the three models are equipped with a 2.0T + 8AT this powertrain, and also use the four-wheel drive system, the price of entry-edition models for less than 200,000 can have 2.0 T + 8AT + four-wheel drive, the car or it has no small attraction.
Then talk about the experience part of it, the first link is to experience the performance of four-wheel drive vehicle, in this part of the experience of the project, the most important thing is to let the occasion by three sharp pulley block, this time only the left front wheel adhesion, look at this case, it can complete the turnaround.
When the vehicle is parked on the test block and tackle, started again, the tires start there have been some slippage, however, the system will soon be a brake on the wheel, it is easy to let the vehicle completed the turnaround. For a city SUV, you can have such a performance is still quite good.
The next part is relatively complicated some of the diversification, in this session, among them, small undulating gravel road, steep slopes, side slopes and large gravel few links in these sectors which can make us feel four-wheel drive vehicle would look like in the face of the actual performance of complex road conditions.
very easy ups and downs in the overall performance of gravel road in the beginning, urban SUV, this most models are road conditions can be relatively easy to complete. After that is relatively steep slope of Camelback Road with hill assist function sharp occasion even stopped in the middle of steep slopes can easily re-start, more similar to the situation we pulled out of the library.
after the hump is a large gravel road, driving on this road, to be more extreme, the more obvious the body swing, for greater impact sharp occasion of the suspension can be effective buffer. In this road situation, each tire can feel the vehicle appeared in slippery conditions. However, there are adhesion wheel can provide enough power to ensure that the vehicle is traveling, the system will be limited slip models, the whole process is still relatively easy to complete.
on the side of the groove part, and exit into the comparison has shown a significant cross-axis condition, sharp inter in the face of this situation it is still very easy to pass. Rui occasion of four-wheel drive system in the face of wheel slip, fast response, and do not need to do too much action, four-wheel drive system will help me complete.
In this second experience project is quite interesting, but also more comprehensive simulation of a variety of basic urban SUV could face more extreme cases of non-paved. The next part is to simulate the urban roads.
In this session, the main experience in continuous turning road conditions, vehicle handling performance, this session also includes a one-sided encounter wheel low-grip road conditions At this time Jicha is full speed, with the excellent power distribution can still be easily ensure vehicle driving track.
continuous multi-curved part, it is very easy vehicle handling, steering is very precise, the Ford brand’s models in the control it has always been a good performance, this outstanding level still can feel sharp on the occasion. However, in terms of steering effort, I felt sharp occasion feel a little too uniform, even if the steering wheel to both ends close to the limit when the intensity is still no significant change sinking feeling, to the limit when some sudden.
the last part of the experience is the straight-line acceleration, in this project, can fully feel the sharp occasion of this 248 horsepower and 393 cattle middot; power meters. When switching to M block, inter sharp throttle is more sensitive to an instruction from the engine throttle made available faster reaction rate. Engine shift almost equal to 6000rpm, even in such a state of rapid acceleration, shifting smoothness this 8AT gearbox is very good. When I switched to the D range, you can clearly feel, throttle response is much ease, when the throttle in the end, the strong engine power output come would be late, ride gearbox to keep still.
Today’s test drive site is relatively simple, in these areas, first of all can feel sharp occasion four-wheel drive system performance is still quite good, face a lot of comparison limit state can easily pass. As for the performance of dynamic aspects, which at the same levelIs quite outstanding, the focus is its price, for the low version, less than 200,000 may have the same hardware, such a thought is still quite attractive, it appears that the sharp Changan Ford launched the occasion of some big release move feeling, as the experience of other aspects, such as the opportunity to talk to everyone shared.
