Aiweiya hotel

Just participated in Buick's SUV challenge tour. What do I mainly drive during the activity? Angkewei s this car. Everyone is already familiar with Angkewei S, because it has been on the market for some time, and we also wrote the first trial article. Many people may be puzzled by Angkor's positioning, because its space is not as good as Angkor's, but more expensive than Angkor's.

After two days of in-depth contact, I have a deeper understanding of it. If I want to spend about 250 thousand to buy a joint venture SUV, it may be my only choice, because its positioning is too accurate, for my consumer group

The two projects made me sit up and take notice of Angkor Wat and Angkor Banner.

Of course, let's talk about this activity briefly at the beginning of the article. This activity takes simulated rally as the main way of series activities. We must punch in from the hotel to the designated destination. However, unlike rally, we are not faster than anyone, but more accurate than anyone. During the period, we drove Angkor S to experience urban road conditions, bad roads under maintenance, mountain roads and rally stages, covering almost 99% of the usage scenes that ordinary people can encounter, and also experienced a short jungle crossing under the banner of Angkor.

There are two events in this activity that I find very interesting: one is a short rally stage; The other is jungle crossing.

Angkewei S Avia with four-wheel drive system is used in the rally stage, which is just an "ordinary car" with wheels, tires and lower fenders. In this project, the rigidity of the chassis and body of Angkewei S surprised me a little. In my imagination, Angkor S should be an "exquisite" urban SUV, but this is not the case. In this bumpy rally stage, the obedience of the four wheels has always been very good, and with the blessing of CDC suspension, the overall comfort is actually very good, and there is no phenomenon that the helmet keeps hitting the ceiling when the road conditions are bad.

At the same time, its body rigidity is also quite good. It is inevitable that there will be distorted road conditions on this road section, and there is a platform at the end of the small track, and the whole car will fly and crash into the ground. Even in this extreme road condition, I didn't hear the sound of the body twisting and the feeling of the car twisting, and the overall rigidity was very good. Moreover, we have so many multimedia competitions in turn, and there is no vehicle problem, which shows that the suspension is also very rigid.

Then there is the jungle cross-country section. Because of the rain, the road surface becomes very slippery, and the overall cross-country difficulty is probably moderate, which is basically the worst road condition that everyone can encounter in normal travel. The four-wheel drive Angkor flag used this time has not even changed the tires, and it is completely original. But thanks to the following two points, first, Angkor's ground clearance is quite high (as are other Buick SUVs), and its passability is much better than that of many urban SUVs with similar ground clearance and cars; Secondly, the torque distribution of this four-wheel drive system is reasonable and rapid, and it can always maintain the grip and power of the tire when passing through the mud. It's quite easy to walk all the way, which also makes colleagues call out, what off-road vehicle to buy, and going out to buy a car is enough.

Why should I spend money on such an SUV?

Let's go back and talk about why I think Angkewei's positioning is very accurate, targeting consumer groups like me. In fact, the positioning of Angkewei S is not only a home SUV, but its target group is actually smaller or more elite. It is aimed at young consumer groups in first-and second-tier cities. These people have been accustomed to quality life since childhood, and the requirements for cars are not just riding but walking. It needs the car to have a good image, drive more dynamically and have certain requirements on driving quality. But refusing to be greasy, as for the space that ordinary users care about, they don't have much pursuit (large-sized bodies are really inconvenient in cities).

First of all, from the concept of the platform, Angkor S is the most balanced car in the general E2 platform. General Motors has three brands. At present, Cadillac XT4 and Buick Angkewei S have been born on the E2 platform, and Chevrolet sedan is likely to be launched in the future.

As far as XT4 and Angkewei S that we have driven at present are concerned, the personality differences between these two cars are quite obvious. XT4 is a typical old-fashioned luxury car with high overall comfort and quiet, but it will obviously feel heavy and greasy when driving. Angkewei S, however, has the same advanced materials and excellent mechanical quality, but its design is not so greasy, and it is lighter and more sporty to drive. As for the Chevrolet car that hasn't been listed yet, don't even think about it. Although it is cheap, it will definitely reduce the mechanical accuracy of interior materials. Therefore, Angkor S is definitely the best car with luxury and sports in E2 platform.

If placed at the same level, Angkor S is more athletic in every way. As for this s, I think it can be completely understood as SPORT. The first is sitting posture. Most of the domestic SUVs are sitting high, including Angkor, while the sitting posture of Angkor S is obviously much lower, and the front dashboard is also close to 90 vertical. How low is the sitting position? Many people set their seats to the lowest possible view.

Secondly, the entire center console is obviously biased towards the driver's side, which is a typical sports car design.

Furthermore, Angkor S all uses 2.0T engines, and its power specifications are higher than those of most urban SUVs. Most SUVs of this level are mainly sold with small displacement engines around 1.5T, while Angkor S does not provide this option at all, just to ensure a good power experience. We also think that Angkor S with 2.0T engine is suitable for driving and can provide good dynamic response and power reserve. Moreover, the sound of the engine pulling to high speed is also very nice, which is obviously specially adjusted by the engineer.

Finally, unlike many traditional SUVs that pursue large space, Angkor S is designed to compress the body size as much as possible, resulting in its rear longitudinal space being 9cm smaller than Angkor, in exchange for better appearance ratio and more flexible body posture. We also walked a mountain road this time. Compared with Angkewei, Angkewei S can obviously feel the size advantage on the mountain road, and the tail does not seem to exist at the corner, which is clean and neat.

So I think the positioning of Angkor S and BMW X2 is very similar. It is not a product that compromises with the market, but has a higher pursuit, which is easy to understand why it is smaller than Angkewei but more expensive to sell. Admittedly, this market is not that big, but I will still praise this differentiated product, because the products on the market are too similar, and we need this personalized product to show our personalized needs.
