In China, the importance of a compact SUV for a car company is self-evident, since this segment is the most “take the amount”, and therefore, whether the joint venture brand or brands get together in this area children, even further subdivided into entry-level compact SUV, crossover (coupe) compact SUV and other models, with different positioning, different emphasis to attract consumer attention. This can be seen as a refinement of the manufacturers operate in this area, and from this point of view, there is still much space for each brand can be operated.
the point. Until now, the joint venture brand has basically completed the layout in the mainstream SUV market, such as Chevrolet, also recently introduced a new compact SUV hit sector. In addition, Beijing Hyundai ix35, Nissan Qashqai and other veterans also by virtue of first-mover advantage gained good market response. But it is clear that new entrants record industry is clearly not passing soy sauce, but to real knife real gun and ix35, QASHQAI like “Rush” is. That in the end is good when new or old stick, we will track it said today.
family design their own highlights, but on the “young”, a record industry laughed
There is no doubt that today’s automotive industry are playing young idea, as long as young people like, basic sales not wrong, this is first reflected in the design. Create community, ix35, QASHQAI, without exception, are designed to meet the appetite of young people made efforts, even family design, have also been adjusted based on vehicle positioning, but this is one of the most popular, I think the industry is none other than the non-invasive .

have to say that Chevrolet is now very set on creating “young people like the car” this matter, especially in the introduction of Redline still middot; red series and after the RS series,Each Chevrolet models are enough fashion, enough to tide enough exercise. With our RS today’s record industry, it uses a whole new generation of the Chevrolet family SUV design language, the front face draws Kemai Luo elements, headlights and a little Transformers mean, really overbearing. Body color, dual exhaust, floating roof, like dynamic rim, the current young consumers are also highly sought after. Coupled with the power tailgate that can be cool feature, creating numerous industry RS can smoke powder between a move a quiet. Of course, Redline version of the record industry in the design is also very characteristic, compared to the RS series will be more fashion sense.

RS-invasive sector of car interior continues the exterior young, sports, tough theme, and black and red with the blood of this will further play to the extreme. Based interior design with simple, clear layout, exquisite detail, from time to time and the elements of the red RS logo gives the feeling of blood surging. Did not have to pick the practicality, abundant storage space, allowing occupants belongings to be easily placed; ample seating space, this will make people “Mass” is not much of a model with admiration.

say ix35, who is also an influential figure, but now retired, but still has many years of hard work to lay the foundation to do word of mouth support, visibility is also quite good. But to say that the design, if the previous generation ix35 still take heart, so now this generation ix35 is a bit too perfunctory, especially the young, unless it is a soft spot for modern brand, or ix35 was included in the alternative unlikely. As for the interior, the same law-abiding, not many bright spots, though in the functional configuration level, ix35 still be able to explain the past, but to say that the design level, ix35 is the need to hire a designer to take up.
Qashqai actually a fashion icon, but Qashqai’s fashion which also reveals some of moderation taste, it does not create boundaries RS so radical, but handsome than the ix35, the design is between models between creators and industry RS ix35, plus entry-level compact SUV this position, QASHQAI apparently to demonstrate more properties. Behind “a combination of” is “and while beneath”, so on the whole, I think, QASHQAI at the design level, there is no record industry RS is more free and easy. Interior even more so, once again return to the “simple”, with performance comparable ix35, law-abiding, honest family car range of children, they want the car more fantasy and passion of young, estimated to be difficult to achieve of.
no movement, no longer young, who was home on, that is the record industry RS
in fact, for each brand, the launch of a compact SUV for young people no small difficulty, because while consumers seek driving passion, expect superior performance; the other hand, the requirements of energy saving, demanding fuel economy, Barbara wanted to “fish and bear’s paw” to do so. Faced with this demand, car manufacturers only way is through technological innovation, particularly through technological innovations for powertrain to try to meet the user. A smaller displacement, more power, better fuel economy, more comfortable driving control, and seemingly contradictory, but they are also realistic, in order to fully realize these ideas only through more advanced technology to create a more efficient powertrain.
In this regard, Chevrolet is still doing well. Take record industry, it applied the General Motors Smart Propulsion Chi-drive technology to create an efficient performance of the power system, which has plenty of power performance and better fuel economy. In addition, the eighth-generation Ecotec 435T equipped with intelligent direct injection turbo engine is based on General Motors’ best single-cylinder “concept developed through the use of 35Mpa high-pressure direct injection fuel system, DVVT dual variable valve timing system, electronic deflation valve of a turbocharger, ATM intelligent thermal management, stepless variable displacement oil pump and canister intelligent electronic control pumps intelligent engine technology to achieve superior performance of high performance, low fuel consumption. By following this table, we might be able to see more intuitive dynamic performance record industry.
Although the data are not everything, but the data was able to reflect the facts. By the above table, we can clearly see the face of ix35, xiaoke these “large displacement” model, creating this community RS 1.3T turbocharged engine parameters, whether or energy, are at the forefront. Its maximum power of 121kW, maximum torque 240Nmiddot; m, ix35 and comprehensive than that Taiwan 2.0L naturally aspirated engine on passenger Xiao; coupled with the characteristics of the turbocharged engine, creating a broad torque boundary RS platform 1500-4000rpm / min of output can be sustained peak torque, dynamic performance in actual driving to the clear winner.

Further aspects of the gearbox, ix35 is equipped 6AT, xiaoke equipped with CVT, the record sector is equipped with an RS 9-speed manual HYDRAMATIC transmission (9AT), more gears, can easily meet the demand for high torque output of the four-wheel drive system, while having a fast response shift, smoothness, and high reliability. GM this transmission gear ratio distribution station 9AT do a new optimized gear ratio is more dense, so that the benefits first and foremost contribute to a more linear, so the engine always maintained at an optimum work-likeState, so that both speed performance and fuel economy cruising speed; and more dense than the teeth also allow smoother shifting process, the utilization of a higher gear.
create boundary the RS
Therefore, while improving fuel economy, SAIC-GM is still considering the availability of gear, the ninth highest gear can be cut at about 95 kilometers per hour. Cycling through different statistical test conditions, the most frequently used, ninth percentage is between 13 to 52 percentage, the relative frequency of use is relatively high. It can be said with respect to the traditional 6AT, CVT gearbox and so on, creating circles RS this 9AT gearbox has the undisputed advantage, and Chevrolet can match 9AT gearbox in such a compact-class SUV, supplemented by four drive, which is the same level rare.
“paper come Zhongjue” How to power a car’s performance, or to go through the genuineness tried to know. So this time, the three of us, three cars, including the city, national highway, high-speed and non-paved road to face the outskirts record industry RS, ix35, Xiao-off for a test drive competitions. Overall, three car, ix35 and Qashqai driving style more similar, there are Buddha line driving feel; and create community RS will have a lot Ling Li, more passion for the sport, but also more suitable for field spreading a happy child . Here we look at different road conditions, how the specific performance of three cars.

[test 1: urban traffic]
in city traffic tests, three cars belonging to good easy to use open category at the start throttle response is good, speed is very brisk. Where the world record performance makes us feel very pleasantly surprised, at first we worried about creating community equipped with small engines will affect the driving experience, but the fact that the power to create community in the early part of RSAnd smoothness are the three best-performing car. We summarize a bit, agreed on the following two reasons: First, it is to create community RS is able to break out of peak torque at 1500rpm, and adjust the throttle early part of the more sensitive, subjective feelings of power is abundant; secondly, 9AT gearbox on the ride a big help, no frustrated produce coherent speed, smooth degree after blasting the ix35 6AT and Qashqai CVT gearbox. In this test session, ix35 and Qashqai large displacement engine is not much help on the busy, but due to the low torque naturally aspirated gasoline engines weak natural disadvantage, affecting the initial acceleration of the vehicle. Of course, driving a car or ride two points worth praise.

[test II: State Road and highway test]
at State Road and highway testing process, our main the test of the three cars 40-90km / h in the middle of the driving ability and 90-120km / h high-speed cruising ability. Ultimately, the record industry performance in high-speed output of RS more excellent, especially in the engine jumped over after 2000rpm, a steady stream of power output of the engine feels like to play with blood, like, he has been in “excited” state, at any time you want give you more explosive. Also at this time, the degree of smoothness 9AT gearbox basically will not let you feel it’s there, because no matter what the speed, it can be very competently the gear cut in the past. Of course, ix35 and QASHQAI’s performance is commendable, with the upgrading of speed, power output is relatively strong, with enough positive gearbox. Generally speaking, the high-speed driving is basically in the best vehicle tracking range, whether Chevrolet, Hyundai or Nissan, these time-tested brands to do this is no problem.
It should be mentioned is that in cruising state, the transmission 9AT advantages RS record boundary mounted more obvious, such as in 80km / h cruise, the highest sector RSThe engine speed is only 1200rpm, while the ix35 and Qashqai will have about 1600rpm, a lower speed to bring the most direct effect is to lower fuel consumption performance. About fuel consumption record industry, in the test drive, I have deliberately tested. After driving record industry in RS country road segment carefree travel 50 kilometers, average fuel consumption in the table significant 6.8L / 100km, well below the Qashqai co-worker driving. Such fuel consumption, at the same level, it is quite good; it also reflects the record industry 1.3T + 9AT this powertrain powerful.

Although not the kind of city field Sahuan SUV strengths, but these cars still have a relatively good by nature. Moreover, the record industry RS, ix35 as well as four-wheel drive blessing, occasionally blow off Huan children on non-paved road is not the problem. Speaking of four-wheel drive, create circles RS, ix35 is timely electronically controlled four-wheel drive, both multi-plate clutch center differential, and two cars can be a key to switch two drive / four-wheel drive system, four-wheel drive system in which the record industry switching time requires only 0.2 seconds, it is convenient.
Written in the last:
Although the same for compact type SUV, but it is clear that each focus on different brands, we now know that three cars is concerned, the highest circles RS as a latecomer, but it can in every respect than or Lidi ix35, QASHQAI two veterans. Especially in terms of driving control, its 1.3T + 9AT powertrain excellent performance provide a solid guarantee for excellent performance record industry RS, the new or old good stick, I must have no more to say it.
