The fifth generation Tucson L successfully challenged Lop Nur.

In recent years, the life scenes of domestic SUV users have experienced many ups and downs.

20 15 "The world is very big, I want to see it" has aroused the cries of countless people, and the yearning for poetry and distance has made more and more people embark on a long journey. However, this trend came to an abrupt end with the arrival of the epidemic in 20 19, and short-distance camping scenes became a helpless choice in terms of lifestyle and itinerary control. Nowadays, with the strong recovery of travel demand, the era of free travel for more people is gradually beginning.

Looking forward to the era of SUV travel, Ma Ning, the founder of Style Car Review, became the "first person to eat crabs". He chose Lop Nur as the proving ground, hoping to explore the broader driving margin of urban SUVs with the help of the extreme environment here. And his car crossing Lop Nur this time is an unmodified urban SUV-Beijing Hyundai fifth-generation Tucson L.

The crossing trip was officially opened in Shanshan County, Xinjiang.

Shanshan County was an important town on the ancient Silk Road during the Han and Tang Dynasties. Up to now, many ancient roads and many ancient city relics that the camel team walked through have been preserved. These ancient roads have now become excellent hiking routes and self-driving routes. Chiting Ancient City, located in Qiketai Town, is an important military fortress in the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty. It is the gateway between Chiting Road and Beixin Road in ancient times and the only way to enter the Western Regions from the East.

Starting from Shanshan county, we drove to Qiketai ancient town in Kumutage desert by G3 12 expressway, passing through nearly 50 kilometers of expressway along the way. Although the fifth-generation Tucson L is a small-displacement vehicle with a power of 1.5T, it can output the maximum horsepower of 200Ps, and it has a strong power that is no less than 2.0T displacement of the same class when driving at high speed. Not only in daily driving, the start of the whole vehicle follows the power output smoothly and powerfully. When driving on national highways and highways, the vehicle still has a strong sense of pushing back when accelerating for the second time, which makes people feel very confident.

Not only that, the 8AT transmission adopted by the fifth-generation Tucson L has a denser gear ratio, and all gears can transmit engine power well, which not only makes the gear shift smoother, but also has an instantaneous response to the downshift when accelerating sharply.

Driving from Qitaihe River to the southeast and heading for Haidao along S3 12, the real challenge of this trip has just begun. Dahai Road is the shortest road between Dunhuang and Turpan in ancient times. There are many relics of human civilization, such as ancient castles, beacon towers and post stations, as well as many rare and rare landforms, such as fossil mountains, mirage and desert wild camels, which have fascinated millions of self-driving and photography lovers.

But it is also from here that the unpaved road paved with gravel will run through this crossing journey. Can the fifth-generation Tucson L cope with such bad driving conditions?

Tucson L was born out of the modern i-GMP platform. By optimizing the weight distribution of the car body, the inertia torque was reduced and the vehicle performance was improved. In front and rear suspension, Tucson L further optimizes the geometric structure of the vehicle and improves the lateral roll control, which not only makes the vehicle track better when driving at high speed, but also makes the driver have a clearer sense of control when facing continuous corners.

Along the sea all the way to the east, it will pass through Hu Xiaonan, Dananhu, Bailongdui Ya Dan Group, ancient city ruins and other landforms. In ancient times, it was an ocean, which experienced hundreds of millions of years of weathering and sand erosion, leaving a spectacular Ya Dan landform and creating an excellent scene without any artificial carving. Here, you can watch the splendor of the sunrise in the desert, witness the colorful sunset stained with sand, and experience the beautiful scenery of "the desert is lonely and the long river sets the yen".

Long-term and high-intensity off-road driving also puts forward higher standards for vehicle reliability and body strength. The fifth-generation Tucson L based on i-GMP platform has improved the body strength by more than 65,438+00% compared with similar models. The engine compartment is also designed with multi-frame structure, which can effectively disperse the impact force caused by collision, ensure the spatial integrity of the cockpit and improve the passive safety of the whole vehicle.

On the other hand, thanks to the upgrade and optimization of the power system and the empowerment of the new platform, the driving quality of the fifth-generation Tucson L has also been greatly improved. Chassis suspension can filter the road vibration more softly, and even under the challenge of the whole Lop Nur crossing the unpaved gravel road, it can provide far better ride comfort than hard-core off-road vehicles.

In the high-intensity off-road environment, the total power growth time of the vehicle runs at full load, which not only tests the reliability of the powertrain, but also tests the performance of fuel consumption. Tucson L 1.5T CVVD+8AT gold power combination not only has very strong power performance, but also the daily fuel consumption is only 6.9L/ 100km. Even in the high-intensity off-road environment like Lop Nur, the fuel consumption can be far lower than that of hard-core off-road vehicles.

Lop Nur Crossing also verified that the fifth-generation Tucson L, as an urban SUV, can not only cope with the daily commuting in the city; It can better control the extreme environment outside the city and has the characteristics of high quality, high reliability and no mileage anxiety. Compared with the current new energy products, it still has strong irreplaceability.

After a long journey, Ma Ning and the fifth generation Tucson L finally reached the end of their trip-Dunhuang, along the Silk Road, across the Shule River to Yumenguan, and successfully completed their trip to Lop Nur. Although he is over forty, he still dares to challenge himself; Although the road is difficult and dangerous, the fifth-generation Tucson L can still cut through the thorns, accompany users to explore a broader life margin and enjoy a more free life.
