[Che Xunwang report] in a very long period of time, Chevrolet left me the impression that economic means of transport. This time, in Xiaoxing’anling ice and snow, it gives me a whole new feel, let me re-acquainted with the centuries-old car brand.
Not that I have a bias against Chevrolet. 15 years ago, when it first entered China, the original suspension of the trademark Buick Sail, become its flagship. Subsequent Lova and Aveo, a ratio of an economy. That era, it seems that the manufacturers and Buick, Cadillac, positioned low, medium, or high.
Even at the beginning of the United States, Chevrolet was born, but also to the economy known. For example, in 1911 it referred to in paragraph 1 vehicle, priced at up to more than $ 2,000, limited sales; the subsequent launch of paragraph 2 cars, priced more than $ 400, this hot up. In the ensuing 100 years, Chevrolet has always occupied a relatively major position. From Hollywood movies will be able to see mdash; mdash; whether civilian private car, or the presidential motorcade, everywhere Chevrolet figure, the number of occurrences, far greater than several other American car brands.
Of course, later Chevrolet, 100 years ago, the bike is not cheap $ 400 car. Control, passion, movement, it has become the keyword. As high-powered, not to mention, it is the mainstream of the United States, but let’s just difficult to obtain.
Chevy our side, in recent years, there have been changes mdash; mdash; to the former Buick ldquo; bottom rdquo; market position disappeared, instead, is a series of young, fashion models. For example, among the SUV hit the cool, creating community and exploration industry who, in 2020 as well as the upcoming Portland.
New Year’s Day 2020, I arrived at the Heihe City in Heilongjiang Province, SAIC-GM test fields, between snow and ice, to experience the industry’s exploration effort.
to answer users questions, often see such questions as:
Go northeast driving, my car can withstand low temperatures it?
want to go to Tibet traveling by car, my car can withstand high altitude it?
In fact, you think of the problem, manufacturers have long thought. Take SAIC-GM, its Pan Asia Research Center, in Heilongjiang, Xinjiang, Qinghai and other places, it was built with a test field for testing various conditions of cold, heat, high altitude and so on. Traditional test subjects, the test deep level, the situation is generally more than traveling by car owners can encounter. In other words, after which you buy a car, if you plan to go somewhere to play, to consider, not the car, but the person. No problem as long as the person on the line.
various tests
vehicle in the development stage experienced, very harsh.
Take the car industry’s exploration, its entry-level 1.5T is a two-drive automatic transmission 174,900 yuan, 2.0T four-wheel drive automatic transmission 225,900 yuan, top models 245,900 yuan. As a mid-sized SUV, the price is undoubtedly the relatively low mdash; mdash; a joint venture vehicle with the same level of the market situation is, Kia KX7 introductory 179,800 yuan, 185,900 yuan explore Yue entry, the entry Kodiak 186 900 yuan, 187,700 yuan Peugeot 5008 entry, entry-way view L 218,800 yuan, 220,000 yuan entry road crown.
probe bound by the pricing is not high, but did not shrink effort. Xiaoxing’anling in the mountains, we drove it through the snowy forest. Deep snow, steep slopes, failed to block it. Go down throughout the day, all the way smooth.
2.0T + 9AT + Probe car industry’s timely four-wheel drive, the maximum power of 191 kilowatts, 0-100 acceleration 7.8 seconds. Companion, there is one in the past few months, in the northwest, southwest, Hainan and other places, has been driving it, deepest feelings: This car really good, power, control, reliable, comfortable, great. What a nice car.
he was able to drive exploration in different parts of the community who, because throughout 2019, Chevrolet joint fight with Discovery ChannelBuilt a stall test drive experience activities mdash; mdash; DC 24 HOURS. D represents a Discovery Channel (Discovery), C refers to a Chevrolet (Chevrolet). The last leg of DC 24 HOURS activities, who is required to experience 24 hours in two of them, driving the Chevrolet master ice road driving skills and learn the wild fire, set up emergency tents, making snow shoes, and so on.
snow and ice driving itself, is enough to stimulate the learning jungle survival skills, superior.
In this way, we drove explore community who came to the jungle, a hunter out there waiting for us. Of course, we are not his prey, but his students. I especially like to explore channels, immediately recognize that he is “the king of the jungle Yeshi Kings of the Wild” program in New Zealand hunter Josh James (Josh James).
should be invited Chevrolet, Josh had come to our country, for the DC 24 HOURS experience of those who have to explain a variety of outdoor knowledge. Among them, magnesium rod fire, I was in the “wilderness survival”, the scene countless times to see, on the ground witnessed, for the first time.
alone a knife, will be able to survive in the wild, is a “wilderness survival” in Bell’s masterpiece. In fact, the Discovery Channel has many high-quality outdoor programs, such as “one plus one to survive,” “Iron Man survive double partner” and “Jungle Yeshi King” Josh participation. The difference is that with Bell, Josh is a real hunter, he describes how to determine the scope of activities for our wildlife, how to determine the wildlife based on footprint, how to use the most humble materials hunting trap.
for many years been concerned about the Discovery Channel, who liked it extremely exciting programs. The program can come into contact with the characters up close, I feel joy. We are very serious in accordance with Josh guidance battle practical operation. I am quite proud that the camp fire with links, super-fast, so Josh at the reviews, I was able to reach almost the same speed as him, surprised.
secretly proud at the same time, I am also well aware that survive in the wild, I am afraid that even a fraction of Josh can not match. Over the years, I’m just relying on shelter car, a man dare to travel extensively. For example, a single person being planned bicycle, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Chevrolet car trip.
crossing, cross country, outdoor exploration. If these words used in cars, I believe there will be many people’s first reaction is the Jeep brand. Jeep is a specialty of the United States, and probably their pride. But in a country that’s athleticism, certainly not just a car brand has such a theme. Through this experience, I personally feel the Chevy many highlights in terms of performance, these bright spots, the former economic-based Chevy car, did not exist.
way back, one of the participants surprise: Chevrolet did not think the original should Jeep thing to do. Just said, only in respect of the American brand, Chevrolet market share is very high, to achieve this, first of all have to meet the market demand mdash; mdash; have a strong enough skills, are self-evident.
Chevrolet with Discovery Channel to create a joint DC 24 HOURS activities, after Yunnan, Hainan, Gansu after finally came to an end in Heilongjiang. I am looking forward to 2020, which the children ldquo; powerful combination rdquo; to create a more exciting activities, like its cars as wonderful, as wonderful as its programs.
