This is probably my third time to participate in activities Ford Fun Day of the.
Indeed, I like a test drive them home, because compared to other brands A point B point the way to go test drive, obviously this site Test drive better reflect the maneuverability of the vehicle itself, and they will come up with some of the subjects on the Fun Day to prove their ultimate pursuit, such as high-speed road experience area, city road experience area, off-road experience area, and so on.
This time, to accompany us to test drive the site, it is just in Hangzhou, the official listing of the Ford Edge occasion, its price range of 18.89 ~ 218,800 yuan. As a whole system comes standard 2.0T + four-wheel drive system, starting price of less than 20 million cars, sharp appearance from the beginning it has been the occasion of much concern.
I would even venture to guess that this car will be the same price models in the motion characteristics of the strongest models, but by Fun Day we have the occasion to explore under sharp performance in the end how.
High Speed Experience Zone
Here sharp occasion of the performance can be fully demonstrated, the opening movement mode, full throttle. At this powertrain 2.0T matching 8AT gearbox, will be within 7.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to your 100km / h.
observed 7.6 seconds results in the same level models can be said to be very fast, but to be honest, sitting in the car but it is not strong sense of acceleration. The initial stage, the occasion did not issue a loud sharp sound of tires a little bit, even while the engine is pulled into the 6,000 rpm redline, but still not noisy, and we normally similar to driving Honda Odyssey 3000 rpm performance, the acceleration process is an understatement. reason
Perhaps you will ask “Does this mean that it’s accelerating very boring.” , obviously not, because [ 123] 8AT gearbox can support you to do catapult start, while in sport mode each time the engine is like shifting your provocative, always a little bit frustrated. If you look at it seriously acceleration curve, perhaps it is better to shift absolutely Tiguan efficiency of these dual-clutch L models so high, but give you tease AT gearbox dual-clutch when shifting is not available, which is why the BMW the reason has always insisted on the use of AT.
Also worth mentioning is the site of more than 20 media it for continuous full-throttle start, but it acceleration performance has remained at less than 8 seconds, and the gearbox nor the circumstances of any alarm or overheating, this is definitely the price level in the dual-clutch gearbox can not do.
city road experience area
In this session, the covering bumpy road, slippery road, turn U-turn and so the scene. First is that the slippery road due to the presence of four-wheel drive system, on one side of the wheel is in the slippery soapy water, even at this time there will not be any effort to accelerate the direction of deviation of the phenomenon, the whole process went very smoothly.
and that’s what Ford for SUV understanding one, they think that a SUV should be adequate security, in snow or slippery road driving needs to have sufficient stability, so that they whole system comes standard with four-wheel drive system, whichFord’s dedication to safety.
and then move forward, is a continuous deceleration zone and our common manhole covers urban areas, where sharp occasion of aluminum alloy the suspension can be said to give me the feeling of amazing. This is not to say that it Rulvpingdi like in the past, but it allows you to pass no matter what speed can keep a good comfort performance.
we have been talking about a point of view, not the soft suspension is comfortable, but how bumpy rich texture is handled correct. As many will brand chassis tuning is very soft, but the body will low speed after shaking very badly, then prone to dizzy feeling. While high speed through the turn because the chassis is too soft, the top of the overhead suspension often, it does not lead to a faster rate through the bumps.
Although it is not a black aluminum suspension of the technology, but it can actually improve comfort and lighter at low speeds by quality tire allows a faster rebound next spring to reduce excess vehicle shaking. With tough suspension tuning to make the occasion a sharp jolt through faster, at this time it does not make the carriage of passengers have complained about any discomfort.
It is also worth mentioning that there are sharp inter minimal turning radius, which undoubtedly will greatly improve its running in the city convenience. Its steering wheel from left to right played a total of 2.5 turns, which is almost some performance cars will be set.
off-road experience area
Finally, cross-country part of the experience, to be honest for a focus driving city-type SUV, off-road part really is a bit difficult one. So on the setting of the project, and not what our common pit shells, cross-axis of the test. But its approach and departure angles in the city-based SUV, the absolute claim to be reckoned numbers.
Also in the face of only one wheel of the pulley block to the test, it can easily pass. But this is only an electronic limited slip can only say that it’s good enough ability, you should never mistake it with what powerful off-road rescue capability and let it go over the mountains. After all, electronic limited slip system prone to overheating, the city is such type SUV can not be avoided.
written in the last
After a test drive of the day, says to be honest for Ford, I was always kind of feeling pity, always looking forward to it for the better development, and hope that more people can really open it next. Because only after its move, to make you feel its charm, compared to the same level models it was good enough sense of power quality, four-wheel drive system is also very clever, with feeling, throttle steering brakes are so that you can not find fault . But not a static experience of space, enough luxurious interior materials is also true, so sharp the big occasion can sell it? Now it seems not easy to say, but if I had to choose, in the car I would not hesitate to put it in first overall.
