If I want to travel in Xinjiang, is it better to buy an off-road vehicle or a gl8? Why?

Hello, I personally recommend the GL8 as the first choice, because Xinjiang has a vast territory, and the distance between one scenic spot and another is basically about 3.4 hundred kilometers. The Buick GL8 business car has a large space and comfortable seats, which is very suitable for long-distance travel. For long-distance travel, the road conditions in southern and northern Xinjiang are basically very good, which is very suitable for the GL8 car. The off-road vehicle has very good handling and speed-up. The disadvantage is that the suitcase is full of things and the rear seats cannot be placed. Long-distance travel It will be very uncomfortable to travel in the back seat for a long time, so we recommend the GL8 car. Friendly reminder: Xinjiang is a vast and sparsely populated area, so be sure to be careful not to run out of fuel

What do you have to face when going to Tibet? It’s nothing more than the plateau climate, rough road conditions, and the normal wear and tear on the vehicle caused by long-term driving. The most important thing is the lack of sufficient supplies. That is, when a part of the vehicle has a problem in an uninhabited area, there is no place to repair it. This is what everyone talks about the most.

So to sum up your question, no matter where you go by self-driving, be it Tibet or Yunnan, driving for a long time has no impact on the vehicle. It is no different from driving to and from get off work every day. After all, the car is used for driving. Yes, even if you don't drive it and leave it parked at home all day long as an ancestor's offering, it still won't be able to withstand the damage caused to it by time.

I just took a trip to the Sichuan, Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, and Sichuan Ring Road once this year. I cycled the whole way without a companion, with a total mileage of 12,000 kilometers. The model is a 1.4 self-priming low-end sedan, and the chassis has been modified, which is about 5cm lower than the original car. There was no maintenance or trouble during the whole journey. I only had a small maintenance in Korla (bring my own materials). The car is an old car with 100,000 miles. Of course, I brought basic maintenance and repair materials and tools with me throughout the journey, but they were not used. The key to traveling on plateaus or uninhabited areas depends on the understanding of the car and the diversity of driving skills. Those who clamor for luxury cars, good cars and off-road vehicles to go to the Sichuan-Tibet Line and Xin-Tibet Line are probably novices or car-illiterates!

You don’t need an off-road vehicle to go to Xinjiang. Unless you want to travel through Lop Nur

I also drove the GL82.4 administrative version from Sichuan to Qingdao. The whole journey was 12,000 kilometers and 36 days with 6 people. It started on July 20, 2017. The whole journey was safe and reliable. There was no original reaction when climbing over mountains at various altitudes. The GL8 mainstream model on the Sichuan-Tibet line is safe on the road. But pay attention to the following points: when climbing with coolant and oil, you need to shift manually. The power of the naturally aspirated engine is attenuated in the altitude area. Compared with climbing, you need 23 gears. For some slope sections, you need to use 1st gear. GL8 water temperature is easy to rise, you can use open Turn the window heating knob to the maximum and the fan to the maximum cooling effect is obvious.

Why not compromise? What about buying a Metroway with zone four? The chassis is higher than the gl8, and the exploration version also comes with a rear axle lock

The road conditions in Xinjiang are already very good, unless you go to places with higher altitudes in winter. Which one is more suitable, an off-road vehicle or a GL8 (hereinafter referred to as "MPV"), depends on whether you are going to Xinjiang to carry a lot of people. It’s very simple. If you carry 4-6 people every time, then MPV is more suitable for you. A 7-seater MPV still has a good space for shopping when carrying 4-6 people. If it is not possible, you can also install a roof. The roof trunk further increases the storage space. If there are basically 1-2 people, or at most three people, I recommend buying an off-road vehicle. Because off-road vehicles can fully meet the needs of long-distance travel for 1-3 people, and in some cases can also take you to farther and harder-to-see places. Speaking of off-road vehicles, there are actually many categories, including hard-core off-road vehicles and SUVs. Hard-core off-road vehicles have better passability and better body rigidity, but they consume more fuel and have relatively poor comfort. SUVs are relatively well equipped, comfortable and fuel-efficient, but their passability is poor and they may not be able to take you to the end of some extreme road conditions. I explain this in the hope that everyone can understand that just choose a car model based on your own situation and needs.

Of course it's an off-road vehicle. The mountain road is relatively rugged and uneven. The off-road vehicle has a high chassis and good passing performance. But the Buick GL89 is generally more suitable for flatter roads.

Let’s see how many people and the Lord take. If you need to take the non-paved Mushroom Road and Swamp Road. Then you have to have a hard-core off-road vehicle with a lock. And it is not recommended to travel by bicycle.

As long as the road conditions are not like these, it is still more comfortable to choose GL8. Almost no SUVs on the market have a 2+2+3 layout.

Just imagine, what would it be like to run a long distance of 2,000 kilometers and the angle of the second row of seats cannot be adjusted? The biggest feature of GL8 is comfort. The chassis is higher than that of a sedan. Large space, suitable for long distance driving. Loaded or empty, there's plenty of room for everyone.

The comfort is definitely that of GL8, and the off-road performance is definitely that of an off-road vehicle. I think you should choose GL8 for travel, because almost all roads are well built, unless you go to the wilderness or hiking trails.

See if you have any need for downstream, if not, buy gl8.
