Weilanda hotel

On the one hand, there are snow-capped mountains wrapped in silver, and on the other hand, there are magnificent river banks, which outline the unique scenery along Beijing-Suo. Driving through, you can occasionally see huge crows passing overhead or perching in ravines. The train is sonorous, making everything look so solemn.

In the eyes of southerners, small bridges and flowing water belong to the south of the Yangtze River, which is "dynamic", lively and full of vitality; Here, the majestic and towering peaks are "quiet", which shuts out the noise of commercial cities and makes people calm down.

I love the double-engine test drive held by GAC Toyota this time, which is different from go on road trip in the past. It took 10 hours this time. From morning till night, start from Golmud, pass through Kunlun Mountain Pass, finally arrive at the observation deck of Hoh Xil, and return to the hotel. Crossing the altitude of 2,800 meters to 4,760 meters, the whole journey is close to 360 kilometers, so that commuters who are usually surrounded by high-rise buildings can truly appreciate the fun and charm of going on road.

Try three cars at a time: the Ralink twin-engine hybrid, the Camry twin-engine hybrid and the Willanda twin-engine hybrid. Thinking about it is also a kind of enjoyment.

Across the mountains and rivers, "diluted oxygen" passed by.

However, Wei Zhaung in the northwest is a bit "dangerous", and people from "oxygen-rich" areas will obviously feel uncomfortable here. Arriving at the Kunlun Mountain Pass at an altitude of more than 4,700 meters, people are exposed to thin air and frequently move around in an environment of MINUS several degrees. After staying for a long time, the discomfort immediately appeared and I wanted to drink.

Self-driving, people-oriented, car is the key.

When the altitude increases 1 km, the power of naturally aspirated engine will decrease 10%, which is more obvious for vehicles. At an altitude of nearly 5 kilometers, the power output will be directly reduced by 50%. When the car is driving at high speed and climbing the hill and stepping on the accelerator, it can feel the "breathing" of the engine like people. Therefore, you can better understand that human beings need a reliable "partner" to take bold risks. The plateau where cars don't work and there is no oxygen is simply suffering.

When dealing with high backlash, hybrid vehicles are obviously more handy than cars with naturally aspirated engines because of the intervention of motors. Of course, not all hybrid models have this advantage, depending on which drive mode is adopted. For example, many cars are driving in series, and they mainly rely on the engine to output power when driving at high speed. Because of the lack of oxygen at high altitude, the engine seems to be failing.

Toyota's "series-parallel connection" technology will be more reliable, because it depends on the motor when starting and driving at low speed, and on the engine and motor when driving at medium and high speed, so it can reduce the dependence on the engine in power output and is less affected by altitude hypoxia.

This feeling is especially true when driving Camry twin-engine hybrid and Willanda twin-engine hybrid. Both cars use the power combination of 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and motor. Maximum engine power 13 1kW( 178 HP) /5700rpm, maximum torque 22 1N? m/3600-5200？ Thirty revolutions per minute.

When you step on the accelerator, the power output will continue to be linear, and the gap between peacetime urban roads will not be too big. You don't have to ignore the scenery along the way in order to entangle the vehicle power. Your focus can always be on this wonderful journey: loess ravines, frozen soil, wild donkeys that come into view from time to time. ...

Moreover, compared with the series hybrid car, the Toyota dual-engine hybrid car adopts the dual-drive mode of engine and motor, and there is another obvious advantage, that is, the ride comfort is good. It is difficult for the driver to notice the switch between the engine and the motor during driving. The whole acceleration and deceleration process is like flowing water, so that the car can run continuously and stably, and the comfort of the car body can also be guaranteed in the high altitude oxygen-deficient environment.

Data testing may be more intuitive. In the 100-kilometer acceleration test, the altitude of more than 2,000 meters climbed to more than 4,000 meters, and the acceleration of three cars in 100 kilometers increased by about 20%. In contrast, the acceleration attenuation of ordinary fuel vehicles is about 30%. Therefore, driving in two-way lanes can not only meet the driver's demand for speeding up overtaking, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery leisurely after overtaking. At the same time, in the actual measurement, the braking performance and fuel economy of the three cars also have good performance.

All technologies finally landed in order to make driving easier. The development of hybrid electric vehicle is only a few years, and 654.38+06 million users around the world choose it, which is also based on technology.

In the past three years, GAC Toyota's twin-engine hybrid has conquered the extremely cold zone of MINUS 40 degrees, bravely rushed into the extremely hot flame mountain, and this high-altitude challenge has proved that Toyota's twin-engine hybrid can also drive as usual in extreme environments. "There is no need to treat the twin-engine model as a special car" is the goal of GAC Toyota to build products.

TNGA dual-engine hybrid, more textured journey

On the vast and depressing national highway 109, drivers want to conquer not only the harsh high-altitude climate, but also the rugged roads.

The road from Kunlun Mountain Pass to the observation deck of Hoh Xil has many ups and downs, and bumps are inevitable. During the period, when driving a Willanda twin-engine hybrid, I felt the rare sense of high quality of the car. Through the undulating road surface, it can completely filter out the subtle vibrations, and the people sitting inside can comfortably walk from one journey to another, "exceeding expectations and having no expectations". I think it's called a surprise.

The surprise continued into space. Willanda twin-engine hybrid wheelbase is 2690mm, and the data is average. But for Toyota, which is good at hollowing out, sitting in the back row, it is obvious that the space of this car is larger than expected, and there are medicine boxes, oxygen bottles, cameras and backpacks piled up in the back seat. You stood by and were unaffected.

Camry dual-engine hybrid injection of "TNGA" excellent genes, lower vehicle center of gravity gives the car better driving performance. Camry dual-engine hybrid chassis is quite solid, has a certain sense of weight and is quite stable at high speed. However, the overall performance is elastic when encountering a large pothole road surface.

When I came back at four or five o'clock that day, the sun was not as hot as in the morning, but it had a rare tenderness. Driving a Camry twin-engine hybrid, and then walking the road I walked in the morning, I felt another taste in my heart. "When dusk came, my thoughts began to rise." Maybe when the light is dim, all my feelings reach people's hearts more directly.

Of course, go on road trip needs a good car to make room for ideological roaming, no matter whether it is a hybrid of the two engines of Wilanda. Camry dual-engine hybrid, or Lei Ling dual-engine doesn't have much ink introduction. With the blessing of "TNGA" architecture, I think that even in extreme environment, within their price and level, it will not live up to consumers' expectations.

There are the "advanced" of Willanda and Camry, and the "balance" of Lei Ling. They all have good ride comfort, no sense of frustration when driving, and comfortable "driving".

The longer you use it, the more you know.

People who have used it for a long time will have a more objective evaluation of Toyota Shuangqing. At the dinner after the day's activities, at the car owners' sharing meeting, the seventh-generation Camry double engine advocated gray. He traveled all over the country and gave Camry this evaluation: "The longer you use it, the better you know."

In nearly half an hour's speech, Zhang Hui condensed the advantages of Camry's dual engines into several key figures: 8 years, 200,000 kilometers, minimum fuel consumption of 4.8L 100 kilometers, daily average car maintenance cost of 82.57 yuan, maintenance of 2180,000 yuan, and residual value of used cars of120,000 yuan. ...

Behind this series of data, there is no doubt that time is the most direct and convincing way to test the quality of products. Not to mention the high price of used cars, it is also very attractive to a car user, and the development cost and maintenance cost are very low.

The low maintenance cost and maintenance cost also verify the reliability of Toyota dual engine to some extent, which also comes from an example of the owner. Overseas media reported that a Prius taxi in Austria ran 100 km without replacing the battery. Quality at the bottom is a kind of self-confidence.

The word-of-mouth that "there are two kinds of hybrids in the world, one is Toyota and the other is others" represents the user's affirmation of Toyota Shuangqing. During the period of 10, the sales volume of GAC Toyota hybrid family has exceeded 300,000 units.

Zhixing has something to say.

We always say that we should fear nature, because the power of nature is far beyond our imagination. It contains surprises and dangers. So we need to be fully prepared to go to an unfamiliar area, especially in extreme environment.

This high-altitude test drive, the organizer not only equipped each car with oxygen bottles and plateau medicines, but also arranged medical staff to accompany it, just to ensure the safety of travel.

Private self-driving should be considered comprehensively. We don't need "the unforgettable experience that the car broke down on the road and needed emergency rescue". We need a beautiful and smooth journey, and this process needs a reliable car. Judging from the test of 360 kilometers, Toyota Twin Engine is trustworthy and can drive it to conquer one mountain after another.
