What cars can you recommend for long-distance self-driving?

It is recommended that you first consider Toyota's models, such as hard-core off-road vehicles such as Prado and Land Cruiser. Models like the Highlander that are positioned as urban SUVs are actually okay, but they are difficult to cope with in extremely bad road conditions, so they are not recommended. In addition, the Mitsubishi Pajero is also acceptable, the Bobcat is considered a classic representative of hard-core off-roading, and the Nissan Patrol is also very good. In short, all models of this type are acceptable.

I recommend these models to you mainly because your purpose is long-distance self-driving travel, so there will inevitably be many types of unknown road conditions. If you choose a model with poor reliability, when driving in bad conditions If a vehicle breaks down on a road section and there is no mobile phone signal, it means there is no rescue. This situation can easily lead to danger, so reliability must be put first, and then large space and comfort can be considered.

Finally, to summarize, the hard-core Japanese off-road vehicles I mentioned earlier are all great long-distance self-driving vehicles. Especially on the Tibet line, they are almost all Japanese, mostly Toyota, as the locals call them. Toyota is called a "cow-headed car", and everyone knows that this car can eat coarse grains and do rough work.

In fact, all ordinary cars can fully meet the requirements for long-distance self-driving travel. Except that it is not recommended to use small-displacement mini cars for long-distance self-driving travel, there are no problems with other cars. The main factor in vehicle selection is personal preference. Everyone has their own preferences. Based on my personal experience, I recommend several vehicles for reference only.

Off-road and SUV models

This type of car is currently the most popular model among self-driving enthusiasts. It has large space, cool appearance and wide field of view, especially some such as Lan De Cruiser (Land Cruiser), Prado (Domineering), Nissan Patrol, Wrangler, etc. are all popular on long-distance self-driving trips, especially the Land Cruiser V8 dual-fuel tank model, which has a longer cruising range. It has a range of up to 1200-1300 kilometers, which is very suitable for long-distance self-driving travel. Of course, the price is also high. The domestically produced Haval H series, Jiangling Yusheng, and Landwind are also good.

Sedans and business models

Long-distance self-driving car trips mainly need to take into account the destination and the road conditions along the way. Although the road conditions in most places are now very good, self-driving You will still encounter some not so good roads on the way, especially when you go on an in-depth tour of the grasslands of Inner Mongolia to experience the grassland pastoral areas. Some places are difficult for cars to drive on. Among commercial vehicles, the common Buick Business, Odyssey, Alison, GAC Trumpchi, etc. are very suitable for long-distance self-driving and have relatively high comfort. The more high-end Volkswagen Metrorail, Mercedes-Benz V-Class, Toyota Alphard, and Senna They are also classic models.

RV

RV self-driving is currently the most popular way to travel, especially long-distance self-driving. The comfort and experience are very high. Staying in the car can also save the cost of a hotel. In terms of cost, RVs can be said to be exclusively designed for long-distance self-driving trips.

The most popular ones at present are B-class and C-class RVs. Many people may not understand the classification of RVs. Currently, RVs are mainly divided into two types: self-propelled RVs and trailer-type RVs. Class A RVs are all-in-one and are mainly divided into three types. Class A RVs are very large and have high requirements for drivers. They are usually made with the chassis and exterior dimensions of a bus or large truck; Class B RVs They are generally made in a style similar to the Transit small box truck, which is also the smallest and most compact type; the C-class is the type with a very high top extending forward to the front of the car, giving it a somewhat convex feel.

Nowadays, many RVs can be designed and customized by yourself. SAIC Maxus and Iveco are two of the more popular ones. In addition, the higher-end Mercedes-Benz C-Class RV is also a very good one.

This kind of car selection orientation has basically nothing to do with fuel economy.

At this price, you can consider the Pajero Jinchang (seems to have been discontinued), Ford Everest, and Nissan Tuda.

The Everest’s overall qualities are very good. There are no obvious performance shortcomings in on-road comfort and off-road passability, and the configuration is acceptable. But when it comes to reliability, I have to step aside for a moment. Jiangling Ford is a little guilty of its workmanship and quality.

Pajero Jinchang, the first-generation super-selected four-wheel drive, has the best escape performance and the most powerful off-road performance among the three cars. This cannot be said. But this is already a very outdated model. Thailand has been replacing it since 2015, and now it has undergone a mid-term facelift. We have always been calm here, if we don’t import anything, we won’t make it domestically. The interior design is too old-fashioned. It reminds me of the era of the Beijing Asian Games. I feel like I can send it directly to the museum after leaving the OEM. Road comfort is said to be on par with the Jinbei. Reliability is not very reliable either, especially due to the design flaw of the rear suspension damping spring, which is a common problem of flat buttocks.

The interior of the Nissan Tuda is simple but adequate and within the acceptable range. There is a problem with the gearbox logic. It cannot downshift when climbing a large slope at low speed...it may be fatal in extreme cases. Part-time four-wheel drive, rear axle teeth locking, low-torque amplification, passability is no problem. The 2.5L X-Trail has the same engine, and the Patrol has the same imported 7AT engine. The power is barely enough, and it is relatively fuel-efficient among similar cars when running at high speeds. But when encountering sections of alternating ice, snow and dry roads, part-time four-wheel drive becomes very difficult. In addition, the drum brake seems to have little impact on the actual test results, but it looks so uncomfortable.

The fuel economy of running long distances is definitely a problem.

If you mainly travel by car on paved roads, you don’t want to wander around in the wild. Don't consider hardcore SUVs with square heads and square heads that have large wind resistance, heavy weight, and non-load-bearing structures. Urban SUVs with a timely four-wheel drive structure that have certain escape capabilities are more cost-effective, such as the high-performance versions of Jeep Cherokee or Compass.

Volkswagen Metvey, four-wheel drive. There is no one, but my strength does not allow it, and I am really optimistic about this car.

When choosing the car that is most suitable for long-distance self-driving travel, you must consider several aspects: comfort, passability, stability, space, etc. If you are driving for a few days on a long-distance self-driving trip, you can choose some cars with better comfort. Although they are not as good as SUVs or off-road vehicles in terms of space and passability, when traveling on asphalt roads, you still pay attention to fuel consumption and comfort. The stability, fuel economy, and comfort of sedans are much better than those of other large vehicles. You can choose one based on your own spending power. The first choice is MPV models, followed by sedans. SUVs and hard-core off-road running are not recommended. Long distances will be very tiring, the starting speed is also very slow, and the most important thing is that driving for a long time will cause backache

This depends on the individual. , ① You also have to consider your own financial affordability ② Personal preferences. The easiest way is to buy a RV. However, the fuel consumption is a little higher, but it is comfortable and convenient without having to modify it yourself!

GL8, domineering

The cruise control device used in cars is a device installed in the car that can automatically control the speed of the vehicle. During the process of driving the car, the driver can start Cruise control, at this time, just release the accelerator pedal to automatically drive.

When using cruise control, the driver can also make small adjustments to the car's driving speed by controlling the device on the steering wheel without stepping on the accelerator.

The space of the car and the comfort of the chassis are also factors that affect high-speed driving. During high-speed driving, if the integrity of the car chassis is better, the physical exertion of the drivers and passengers in the car will be greater. It is small and the mental burden is relatively light, so the adjustment of the car chassis has a great impact on the comfort of the drivers and passengers.

Generally speaking, many car owners believe that MPV models are the most comfortable when driving at high speeds because the space inside the car is better and the comfort of the car is also relatively better. To put it simply, It is said that the wheelbase of MPV models is longer, and the space inside the car is better than that of cars and SUVs. This also makes MPVs more comfortable and very suitable for long-distance driving.

If you have a good experience, you can choose an SUV or MPV! Basically, cars with a price of over 300,000 yuan are very good. For ordinary consumers, if you want an SUV, you can choose Tuang, XT5/Angkeqi/Ruijie, luxury brands can choose X3/X5, and for MPVs, of course, GL8, or just The launched Volkswagen Weiran

Long-distance driving depends on your personal driving style. If you prefer a controllable coupe, if you prefer a comfortable business car
