every year to winter in fact most looking forward to is the ability to participate in snow test drive, where you can either let him raise his driving skills, but also be able to “reckless behavior” in a relatively safe environment look, feel the full vehicle approaching from out of control the kind of critical point of control.
This time I went to test drive XingRui snow base is located in the Hulun Buir, Inner Mongolia, to participate in the strong 2019 Buick SUV Buick Camp held here the snow park activities. In this event, we test drive the vehicle is on the eve of the Guangzhou auto show has just listed Buick medium and large SUV– Angke flag, drove this SUV 7 play would feel on a snowy road, let us quickly get started!
first take a brief look at the models and test drive test drive project, the project to complete the models today are Ocamar flag, flag Angke 2.0T turbocharged engine equipped with a maximum power of 237 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm middot; m, a variable-cylinder engine with this technology, the engine will be based on different modes of operation, the number of cylinders of the work to be adjusted. In addition, this engine also has a variable valve Tripower management techniques, 35Mpa high pressure direct injection system, ATM active thermal management system, an electric discharge Turbocharger like. Gearbox, Angke flag using 9-speed transmission from a HYDRA-MATIC general, in terms of gear ratio to / h 100km cruising speed when the block is already 9, at this time the engine speed about 1500rpm for vehicles with better fuel economy.
seen the power system, we again introduce the four-wheel drive system Angke flag, flag Angke two drive-in addition to, the rest There are two models of a four-wheel drive four-wheel drive configuration, four-wheel drive and four-wheel drive type Ultimate Ultimate exclusive type used with other models are not the same. It highlights that the intermediate wheel with two sets of multi-plate clutch, that is, its left and right rear wheels on the percentage of the power output can be achieved between 0-100distribution.
Angke flag unified field test drive in the snow studded tires replace all the face of the thick snow, the role of this tire It is still very important in this road snow studded tires provide better adhesion, if an ordinary tire and want to run on this road, then it is too difficult. After
understanding of the test drive, test drive again look at the project, the project includes a test drive linear acceleration snow, the snow around pile, ring road handling and stability and drift (a 3.6km-long road of comprehensive snow), four-wheel drive performance today feel Angke flag through these projects, of course, the face of so many interesting projects, I can more boldly to try and limit on the touch control. This led us to test drive the completion of the project team coach is also very powerful, both in the automotive circle of large class people of God, they are the driving safety center Nurburgring head coach Sascha, CRC Rally Champion Han Yue, Chen Donghai, Linde Wei and so on.
said before more than enough, and quickly began to test drive it today!
project is the first experience of snow around the pile, this link seems simple, but to get a faster car in the snow by requires an earlier pre-judgment and let the vehicle can be put into an earlier posture to the next pile.
Before starting, in order to enable the vehicle to have a better power output, first switch the vehicle to the off-road mode, in this state, Ang power output Branch flag-wheel-drive system will lock in the proportion of around 50:50. For the traction control and vehicle stability system, I also try to shut down one by one, traction closed good, speed is not too fast, when, how much I can do to feel a little oversteer, if you turn off vehicle stability system, in this environment, really have to carefully drove.
Under such circumstances, during steering of the slalom it is suitable for the oil, and toSteering a pile next time, the oil must be properly received, when the rotation of the steering wheel, and then appropriately adjust the vehicle attitude to complete the oil, which would allow more successful completion Slalom vehicle, further to be noted that the steering wheel rotation speed is not suitable too fast, otherwise the vehicle will continue to be outside the line as the inertia slip to go. Have a four-wheel drive system allows Angke flag can travel very stable on the snow and ice, plus a variety of auxiliary electronic systems, let us in the snow can easily control the vehicle.
The next item is the snow straight-line acceleration, this link can be said today to experience the most simple project, with four help drive traction control system and vehicle stability systems, full speed is still relatively good control, if you try to turn off the traction control, it started when the throttle control is necessary to consider the depth, too fast, there will be wheel slip and lose acceleration forces. At this point you can feel the power emitted by the engine it is still quite abundant, even if I turn on all electronic systems, whenever the pedal to the deeper, traction control intervention will work.
With the gradual lifting of the vehicle speed, the fastest time close to 100km / h, a little at this time are likely to make the correction direction of the vehicle out of control, so for control of the steering wheel is to be careful. Angke flag performance in the manipulation I think it is good, in the middle of the steering wheel will be a little bit false, appropriate to make some small adjustments are not overly sensitive reaction make of the vehicle, the acceleration process is still very easy to complete.
The third project is the drift of the ring, in this session, will also need four-wheel drive mode of the vehicle is switched to the off-road mode, if AWD is switched to the mode or motion, before and after the output power at this time is not fixed, the system power output ratio before and after the running condition of the vehicle at any time to adjust, in order to successfully complete the project, or the need to use off-road mode, the other two a mode or more suited to pavement slippery road use.
for an annular driftTo turn off the traction control system of the vehicle, press the button on vehicle stability system can, if you want to completely shut down, press 5 seconds on it, but I have already tried that case there is no vehicle stability system, so in this session I I chose to just turn off the traction control is like. In this part should be noted that when the vehicle speed is higher than 60km / h, for the safety of its traction control still will resume play in ensuring the vehicles can drift up at the same time, the speed can not exceed 60km / h.
When the vehicle speed is gradually increased, with a circular, if you want to be some vehicle oversteer, the tread depth on the accelerator can, of course, at this time but also control the swing body is not too large, but also small amplitude and appropriate course corrections. Once the body swing occurs, play a little counter-direction, up the oil, supplemented oil, then the vehicle can be relatively easily complete attitude drift. With much practice, drift from moment will soon be able to complete a quarter turn even more long-distance drift, this link is very interesting to play with, yes, there is a really playing up the feeling. So I am more surprised that Angke four-wheel drive system can flag it also has better stability on ice and snow, so that the vehicle can still easily under conditions permitting realization drift, but also people feel the same big guy It can be very flexible.
is the last road handling and stability, which is an integrated snow 3.6km long track, in this circuit, it is necessary in front of acquired skills to apply it all at the same time accelerating, but also to predict the speed control during cornering front, appropriate deceleration, with the continuous turning it is necessary to use snow slalom skills, and in some of the larger on the corner, you can use proper drift technique.
track corners, some small, long and short, each bend angle is different, in such a comprehensive tournament trail running, I feel more interesting, as the vehicle approaches the edge of out of control, but also to make it through the skills that their own back on that line the walk. On this track running, the most important thing is not to let the speed is too fast, otherwise it will lead to loss of control of the vehicle went off the track at this timeBut it takes much longer time.
our test drive of the day two days after the winter solstice, is located in China are geographically closer to the position of the north, which means here’s a very short daylight hours, though time is limited, but the day is also really happy to play, have more assurance in place to try the ultimate challenge of the vehicle, but also for their driving skills an upgrade, as to the conventional road on, and that was the first to secure compliance, as to manipulate these relative limits, or stay to snow test drive site to feel it!
Finally, to add a few words, this minus two, thirty degrees weather, the flag Angke is equipped with heated steering wheel and all-in today car seat heating function is particularly useful, in addition, these configurations in Angke flag models, and top with the second top models are all equipped with, and these two models also using multi-chip dual rear axle four-wheel type clutch structure, so if you often have to face the ice and snow, I think your choice or top with Angke top with the flag of times or more appropriate. Well, on the Buick snow test drive, here to talk to it!
