When Tiffany Blue meets the Sea of ??Flowers Train, experience Toyota C-HR on a spring outing in the suburbs of Beijing

Every time spring returns to the earth, everything revives. People's desire to travel has been dormant all winter, and they all hope to be released in April when the mountains and flowers are everywhere. As a photography enthusiast, I always like to drive in a car to find the pictures I long for. Cars can be used as travel tools, life companions, and accompany my creative process. A car that looks good, drives well and is fun to drive, which can add driving pleasure to my journey. This time, it was this interesting Toyota C-HR that accompanied me to the foot of the Great Wall, recording the S2 train traveling through the sea of ??flowers.

On this travel route, I came to three points: the flower sea train shooting point in Guangou, the century-old station Qinglong Bridge, and a hidden flower sea in the mountains behind the Shuiguan Great Wall. In late March, the sea of ????flowers at Juyongguan is the most lush, and at the beginning of April, the cherry blossoms along the higher Shuiguan Great Wall and Qinglong Bridge also become more luxuriant. In short, there are always more pleasant surprises at the foot of the Great Wall in spring.

My love for cars makes me prefer to use lenses to record their beauty, not to mention such a beautiful Tiffany blue car that perfectly matches the sea of ??white flowers. The white and blue body color scheme is fashionable and retro, which is exactly the kind of visual impact that young people like.

In my opinion, C-HR’s consumer group is more suitable for “artistic youth”. Many of them are engaged in cultural and creative industries, pursue niche and exquisite products, and are unwilling to follow the herd. They like interesting things, pursue fashion and trendiness, and also need greater convenience. Therefore, a compact SUV with a coupe shape, better passability, and fun road handling is rare in this market, but the C-HR is such an interesting car.

Drive from the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing onto the G6 Beijing-Tibet Expressway and pass through the towering mountains. The vehicle's flexible suspension balances controllability and comfort when driving, and even has a sense of luxury similar to that of a Lexus. Of course, this is obviously due to the TNGA architecture, which uses the platform of a compact model. The vehicle is more stable than a small SUV, and it also has a good seating space inside the vehicle.

Following the train’s route, I came to a century-old station, Qinglong Bridge. At the same time, waiting for the train to pass by again, let C-HR have a close contact with the train bound for spring. The train came from the direction of Yanqing, completed a head-to-tail turnaround at Qinglongqiao Station, and continued to travel through this sea of ??flowers.

Tiffany blue As early as 200 years ago, as the queen of the jewelry industry, Tiffany & Co.’s blue gift box captured the hearts of many girls and became a classic, noble and elegant. , complementing this sea of ??white flowers.

C-HR is a pursuit of youth in design. The sharp body lines like a diamond cut and the V-shaped front face design highlight a futuristic and ready-to-go attitude. The flat wide body design also makes the vision more stretched.

The wheel arches that expand to both sides, the waistline that rises sharply from the bottom of the front wheels to the taillights, and the floating roof created by the two-color body, the muscular feel of the vehicle also incorporates some supercar elements. , enough to attract young people who pursue fashion and sports.

On the train, people looked through the windows and recorded the most beautiful time at the foot of the Great Wall. By swiping the Beijing bus card for a one-way fare of 6 yuan, you can complete such a fantastic journey. Of course, only those who buy tickets in advance can get a window seat. Being in a small car is not as good as driving a car to directly explore the best shooting spots. This is self-driving car travel, which means the most to us players.

From the decoration of the door panels, the three-dimensional sense composed of purple-red diamond texture echoes the diamond-cut design of the headlights. The overall excellent materials and touch of the interior can better meet the current young people's pursuit of details. ?Driving through the mountain road in the sea of ??flowers, the continuous curves are also a good opportunity to demonstrate the controllability of C-HR. From the very beginning of its development, this car was tuned on the Nürburgring track. The extremely low roll in corners is precisely because the E-shaped multi-link of the rear suspension adopts a double wishbone structure. The thick and powerful wishbone structure on the upper part of the wheel allows the tire to contact the ground in a larger area when the suspension is compressed. .

What’s more important is the follow-up steering of the rear wheels, the excellent flexibility of the entire vehicle, and the driving feeling of integrating human and vehicle, which is similar to the adjustment of many sports cars, and fully embodies the C-HR. This car is easy to drive and fun to drive.

The steering of the entire vehicle is light, and the body responds quickly to steering movements. The lower body not only reduces wind resistance, but also allows the entire vehicle to exhibit excellent rigidity. There is no sloppiness when turning, and it is as easy to drive as a sports car.

This C-HR is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 171 horsepower. The new Direct Shift-CVT can simulate a 10-speed gear. The smoothness of the combination of the two is obviously due to the AT on the market. The strong power output, combined with the tough chassis, is also the best expression of driving pleasure.

However, the entire power system responds very quickly to the throttle. It controls the reasonable speed according to the depth of the throttle. You can still feel the gentle shifting action in the 10 simulated gears, and the shifting speed is not too fast. It is inferior to many current dual-clutch models.

It is precisely because Toyota was the first to add a starting gear to the CVT, changing the "meaty" characteristics of the traditional CVT transmission.

On this one-day short trip in spring in the suburbs of Beijing, I also completed a test drive while pursuing the beautiful scene of the sea of ??flowers. To have an all-round experience under high-speed and mountain road conditions, looking for those fun secrets requires a car that is easy to drive, can easily cope with the rugged mountain roads, and has a relaxed driving experience in the city. The powerful and smooth power matching and the handling like a sports car can add more fun to your journey.

C-HR has been on the market for less than a year and has received good market response. Precisely because the post-90s generation has become the main consumer group, the pursuit of individuality has even become a rigid need, and they have more economic control. Right, and prefer to choose the car you want. At the same time, many young people like to discover more niche attractions and do not want to be crowded with people in scenic spots. They also like to drive their cars to find the most beautiful scenery in their minds. Just like this time, I discovered this hidden sea of ??flowers while driving this C-HR. In short, not taking the usual path is the personality label Toyota C-HR gives you.
