Lift the ban on pickup trucks and go to the next two cities. The spring of pickup truck is coming. Which is more suitable for you?

Recently, the pickup truck industry has once again ushered in good news. Chongqing and Nanchang have successively released news about relaxing/lifting the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city. Among them, Chongqing, as the first municipality directly under the central government to relax the restrictions on pickup trucks entering the city, is a great encouragement to the entire pickup truck industry. As soon as the news came out, the right and wrong of the pickup truck lifting the ban became a hot topic of discussion.

However, the author believes that no matter what problems will appear in the management of pickup trucks after they enter the city, they will eventually be optimized and solved. Most importantly, pickup truck, as a utility vehicle with outstanding practicability, must be one of the best choices for family cars. The only question now is, if you are going to buy a pickup truck, how do you choose?

At present, the market share of pickup trucks in China is not large, but the selection is relatively rich, which can meet the needs of most people. Of course, after the pickup truck is completely lifted and gained a larger market share, I believe that the optional models in the pickup truck market will be more abundant. Today, the author makes a recommendation for everyone on the more reliable pickup trucks on the market.

High-end: Ford F 150/ Toyota Smooth Road

Ford F 150 is undoubtedly the first choice. As an authentic American car, Ford F 150 is the highest model of American pickup culture. Its sales volume has dominated the American market all the year round, and it has also performed well in the world. As a full-size pickup truck, F 150 is undoubtedly practical. Adopt mainstream double-row seat design, five seats, and refer to the large SUV of Land Cruiser for the ride space.

In terms of power, the F 150 is equipped with 3.5T? V6 twin-turbo engine with maximum horsepower of 380 HP and maximum torque of 672 Nm. It is worth mentioning that this engine is currently a national emission, so it is very convenient to get a license in the country. Matching the engine is Ford's self-developed 10AT gearbox, with part-time 4wd system with strong off-road performance as standard, and the overall performance refers to the large-displacement hard-core off-road vehicle.

At present, all available F 150 in China are high-performance versions of F 150-Raptor except the version of Ltd. It can be seen that the positioning of manufacturers in China is still high. Although its price of 523,800-665,438+0.28 million yuan is not low, considering the performance, it is still cost-effective in high-end cars.

When it comes to F 150, we have to mention its old rival, Toyota Smooth Road. Compared with the best-selling F 150, the smooth road is more of a supporting role. Of course, although the sales volume is not as good as that of F 150, the smooth road still has its own unique advantages in terms of products. Compared with F 150, the overall failure rate of Chang Dao is lower, and long-distance crossing will be more worry-free.

As a full-size pickup truck specially developed for the American market, Smooth Road is consistent with F 150 to a great extent, and its size and practicality are similar. If we want to say the difference, it is mainly reflected in the motivation. The smooth road is equipped with a 5.7L naturally aspirated V8 engine. This gearbox is the same as the lexus LX570. Features are stupid, no new technology, reliable and durable. The maximum horsepower of the engine is 38 1 and the maximum torque is 543 nm. The matching engine is 6AT.

It is said that the smooth road will be replaced soon, and the new car will be equipped with a 3.5T engine. As for the four-wheel drive system, part-time 4wd, which is simpler and more reliable in structure, is also adopted on flat roads.

At present, there is no official channel to buy smooth roads in China, and all of them are imported from parallel imports. This means that there is no national six car on the smooth road, so you have to buy the smooth road as soon as possible. Must be in July 2020 1 China before the full implementation of national six emissions.

At present, according to the quotation of Tianjin Port, the price of different configurations is between 420,000 and 570,000.

Mid-range: Great Wall Gun/Chang 'an Kaicheng F70

Skipping the high-end pickup truck, the mid-range products that can be bought in the domestic market directly come to the price of 1.5 million. Fortunately, this mid-range strength is supported by independent brands. Although the price is not high, the product strength is still very guaranteed.

First of all, the Great Wall Gun, the first self-owned pickup truck, came with the mission of "becoming China Ford F 150".

In terms of size, although it is a little smaller than F 150, the body length of the standard version reaches 5.4 meters, which looks big enough. It uses a double-row five-seat design because its positioning itself is a pickup truck. Therefore, in addition to the cargo hopper, it can basically be regarded as an SUV model of the same size, and the quality is still guaranteed.

In terms of power, the Great Wall Gun provides two engines. Both of them are 2.0T displacement, but the difference is that they are divided into gasoline and diesel power, but both of them are national six emissions. As for the gearbox, there are 6-speed manual matching gasoline engines and 8AT of ZF, and only 6-speed manual matching diesel engines, so the selection is quite rich. It is worth mentioning that its 2.0T gasoline +8AT powertrain is an excellent combination. In addition, the four-wheel drive system of the Great Wall Gun is timely four-wheel drive.

In terms of price, the Great Wall Gun is very close to the people, and the official guide price is 97,800-65,438+059,800 yuan. If you want to choose it as a city car, the starting price of the 8AT version is only 1 1. 18000. If you buy an SUV at this price, the performance is completely different from that of the Great Wall Gun.

Another large pickup truck of our own brand, Changan Kaicheng F70, is also highly recommended. Different from the independent research and development of Great Wall Gun, Kaicheng F70 was jointly built by Changan and PSA Group, so many French cars can be seen in the design.

The size of Kaicheng F70 is similar to that of the Great Wall Gun, so their practicality is basically the same.

Then let's talk about the difference. Cazenove F70 offers two engines: 2.5T and 1.9T diesel engine and 2.4T gasoline engine. The dynamic parameters are slightly different because of the different emission standards of the fifth and sixth countries. In terms of gearbox, only 6-speed manual is matched with the engine. However, it is said that some manufacturers will launch automatic transmission models in the future. In terms of four-wheel drive system, Kaicheng F70 provides a part-time four-wheel drive with stronger off-road performance. In terms of price, the official guide price of Kaicheng F70 is 92800-65438+039800 yuan. Considering the configuration, its price is basically the same as that of the Great Wall Gun.

Low-end: Great Wall Feng Jun 5/ Chang 'an Shenqi F30.

Low-end pickup trucks are the largest market segment in China. The reason is that it is mainly used to pull goods, reflecting its tool use. However, with the lifting of the ban on pickup trucks entering the city, it is not a feasible choice to replace SUVs with the same price without a strong sense of quality at a price below 654.38 million. After all, Picado's cargo hopper and rear drive power make it practical enough.

There are two big manufacturers' products here. The first one is the Great Wall Feng Jun 5, which is a hot-selling model of the entry pickup truck. Although it is a low-end pickup truck, the design is quite domineering. If you are a family, you will not be too wronged. Similarly, the Feng Jun 5 is designed with five seats in two rows.

The advantage of this car is that it has a variety of power options, including 2.2L and 2.4L naturally aspirated gasoline engines and 2.0T displacement turbocharged diesel engines. Unfortunately, the emission standards of the four engines are all national five, and they are all 5-speed manual. Fortunately, it has a four-wheel drive, so you don't have to worry about practicality in places that often need to be broken. In terms of price, its official guidance price is 68,800-65,438+06,5438+0.28 million yuan.

The second model is Changan Shenqi F30, and its official guide price is only 47,600-63,800 yuan, which is the price of an autonomous A0-class car. You can buy a large pickup truck with a length of more than 5 meters. Isn't it exciting? Because of its low price, the configuration of Shenqi F30 is relatively simple, but it comes in a variety of sizes, offering two choices: single row with 2 seats and double row with 5 seats.

In terms of power, Shenqi F30 has only 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine to choose from, matching the 5-speed manual gearbox. It doesn't look like much power, but there is a version of the national six emissions. In terms of drive form, Shenqi F30 only has the front and rear drive type. However, the minimum price is less than 50,000, and with the background of Chang 'an factory, it is still an entry-level pickup truck worth choosing.

Write it at the end

Pickup truck is actually a very good multi-purpose vehicle, and its popularity in the United States and Thailand is very high. In use, its advantages far exceed those of SUV models at the same price. In particular, the pickup truck culture that followed became a symbol of American and Thai automobile culture. In this respect, the pickup truck market in China is still a virgin land to be developed, which gradually spreads with the lifting of the pickup truck ban. I believe pickup truck, a seed with strong vitality, will soon flourish in this land of China!
