Multi-choice real shot SAIC Chase T70 cross-country version, travel version

On February 7, 2020, at 65438, SAIC MAXUS announced the release of a number of new models based on T70, namely, the electric version T70, the off-road version T70, the travel version T70 and the gasoline 2.4L version T70.

Among these cars, the electric version costs nearly 300 thousand. Coupled with the slightly higher price and electric status, its audience will not be as wide as other cars. Although T70 2.4L version is the new power of T70 series, this engine is mounted on T60. Therefore, among the released cars, the off-road version T70 and the travel version T70 have the highest attention, and the author also took the lead in taking a real shot of these two cars. I'll talk to you today.

Saic Chase has always positioned himself as an "expert in pickup customization", and C2B customization is the characteristic of SAIC Chase. The off-road version and travel version released this time can be understood as the official standard version customization of SAIC Chase. Both cars are modified based on T70, which have many similarities, such as wading throat, wide-body wheel eyebrows, competitive front bumper and roof rack, but the difference is that the two cars are very different in style positioning.

Off-road edition

T70 off-road version has made great efforts in off-road kits, such as American JD-Racing three-stage adjustable shock absorber or professional 265mm off-road wide tires, which can be seen in this car. At the same time, the off-road version is equipped with electric winch, iron front and rear bumpers, off-road special roll cage, wading throat, off-road wheel cover and side wheel tread. It is worth mentioning that the T70 cross-country version is also a pickup truck with towing qualification, which can tow up to 3 tons.

In terms of four-wheel drive system, the T70 off-road version adopts Borgwarner electronically controlled time-sharing hard-core four-wheel drive system, which together with AAM drive axle and Eaton mechanical automatic differential lock forms the golden four-wheel drive combination of the T70 off-road version. Differential lock, fully mechanical structure, safe and stable, automatically induces slipping. When the speed difference between the left and right wheels reaches 100 rpm, the rear axle is locked immediately. In addition, the approach angle of the off-road T70 is 35, the departure angle is 33, and the minimum ground clearance is 300mm.

T70 cross-country version adopts front double wishbone spiral independent suspension and rear fully-graded leaf spring non-independent suspension. The whole chassis is a frame with two vertical and eight horizontal independent beams. High-strength steel is used in a large area, and the robot automatically welds in the whole process, which ensures the connection strength, overall torsion and bending stiffness and makes the chassis structure more solid. The body part is welded by laser, with a length of 3000mm and a stiffness increase of 30%. The key parts are made of the most advanced thermoforming materials, with yield strength exceeding 1500 MPa and strong deformation resistance, which effectively ensures vehicle safety.

Let's start with the power system that everyone cares about. ? The T70 off-road version uses its own SAIC π diesel engine, which uses the same 2.0T power as the T70 diesel pickup truck launched last year, but the difference is that the maximum torque of this engine has been upgraded from 375 Nm to 400 Nm. The transmission system is matched with the same 6-speed automatic gearbox.

Finally, look at the interior configuration. Compared with the travel version, the interior of the off-road version is relatively dull, with keyless entry/one-button start, cruise control, LED running lights and hydraulic steering assistance as standard.

Travel edition

Compared with the off-road version, the travel version has not improved so much in off-road attributes, but the home attributes have been brought to the extreme.

There are 8 sets of T70 Travel Edition, including domineering front competitive bar, industrial rivet cross-country wheel cover, specially customized roll cage and integral shutter cover. , fully embodies the personalization.

In terms of vehicle configuration, the travel version is significantly richer. The real shot is a gasoline model, equipped with constant speed cruise, uphill assist and steep slope descent system. T70 Travel Edition has the largest two rows of space at the same level, which is close to 1 m, so Ge You can lie down anytime and anywhere. In addition, the whole car has 2 1 storage space, from charging cable, oil card and lipstick to photographic equipment, emergency tools and outdoor sports equipment. The maximum loading mass exceeds 1 ton, and the cargo hold volume exceeds 1.5 cubic meter, which easily meets the loading needs of the whole family.

In terms of power, the Travel Edition offers two options: 2.0T diesel and 2.0T gasoline. The diesel version matches the 6AT gearbox, and adopts the same powertrain as the off-road version, with the maximum power 120kW and the peak torque of 400n·m；; ; The gasoline version is matched with ZF 8AT gearbox, with the maximum power 157kW and the maximum torque of 350 N m. It provides three driving modes of ECO/POWER/NORMAL, and the zero-speed acceleration takes only 8.8 seconds.

Conclusion: SAIC Chase is proving the brand positioning of "pickup customization expert" in its own way. The off-road version and the travel version of the kit represent two different living conditions. Consumers don't have to worry about it, just choose according to their own needs, and you won't regret which one to buy.
