Speaking of pickups, we can think of is the first Great Wall Motor’s models. Because the Great Wall pickup in the current market share of the Chinese market more than 50 percentage, it is left to other brands may play space is not great. To launch other brands pickup in the Chinese market, it can only open a new path. Geely Automobile has recently exposed its first pickup truck Remote FX. Compared to the traditional pickup truck, remote FX what is special about it?
The unibody
Remote FX uses bearer formula body structure, whereas the conventional pickup are non-load-type body. The benefits of non-load-type body is more rigid body, a greater load. But also to enhance the performance of the pickup truck. Because we know that pickup trucks are used in the traditional sense manned up the goods, up the hill into the water, it is used to do menial work, so there is a non-bearing body structure is very important.
and not as a monocoque body that has a non-bearing beam, some difference in rigidity of the vehicle body, but can also bring lighter body mass and better ride comfort. Remote FX uses unibody, the positioning is not so from a rough work dry pickup.
cargo tank volume is not particularly large
From now exposed information view. Geely Remote FX, length and breadth were 4905/1831 / 1713mm, wheelbase 2670mm; cargo box length and breadth were 1125/1230 / 460mm, we can see its container size to other than the pickup models much smaller.
and some of the information from the current point of view has been exposed, remote FX cargo box more refined, even with wooden floors. Thus better see the city is positioned remote FX pickup, it is to allow consumers to travel with, for example, go pond fishing classes.
ride comfortFitness strong
In fact, information from the current point of view has been exposed, including exterior design, we were able to find this more pickups and Ji Libo Pro is very similar, and even interior design style is almost It is exactly the same. And thanks to the monocoque, so its rear comfort compared to conventional pickup much better. Traditional pickup rear tend to be more straight, tilt angle is not large, relatively thin seat, long-distance ride is not comfortable.
major power without the diesel engine
mainstream pickup, in order increase cargo capacity, tend to use large displacement gasoline engines, at least 2.0T start. In addition, there are many pickups will use diesel engines. However, the remote FX in power, equipped with the auspicious JLE-4G18TDC 1.8T engine speed matching 7 DCT transmission, three driving modes, the maximum power of 135kW, maximum torque 300N.m. Performance is the level of mainstream urban SUV.
Summary: Remote FX open up new market segments
in the past the main emphasis of conventional pickup cargo capacity and cross-country capability, it is often non-load-type body, and a relatively large volume of the container, in power diesel engine will tend to get more torque output. But it can be said Geely Remote FX has opened up a new pickup truck segment. Pickup may be a bearing-type body, or may be a gasoline engine, but may be very comfortable back, but the drawback is not the cargo box, nor can high strength of the cross-country. So for such a pickup, I believe that in terms of volume is certainly not as good as the Great Wall of traditional pickups, but also equivalent to provide consumers with a new choice.
