Let's "freeze" the forest of things: Subaru forester SG9 (1)

In the weather of 65438+early February, the temperature in the north plummeted, and the temperature in the Imperial Capital was-10 degrees, which made Ai's hands and feet "frozen" even under the constraints of gloves and heavy boots, but the low temperature could not cool the heart in our car. In the recent communication with riders, a familiar "little guy" jumped onto the page.

The title of "little guy" comes from Russia. Speaking of this model, as a compact SUV, its sales and reputation in Russia have always been good (recall in recent years is another word) and its evaluation has always been high. In 20 13, the Russian automobile publication Klaxon held "gold? Won the "20 13 Best Compact SUV of the Year" award in the "Klaxon" vehicle selection. This award is extremely harsh in the Russian automobile field, which shows that foresters are very popular with Russians.

"Little guy" is a nickname because its model is compact and there is no room for oppression. Russians have the habit of family trips to suburban villas on weekends. What they value is a small SUV that allows a family of 3-4 to ride and carry light outdoor equipment. For Russians who are tall and heavily armored in winter, the forester's physique is really a "little guy".

What I want to say here is that the cost performance pursued by Russians is different from that of our Chinese, and the demand for foresters is different from ours. Let's talk together.

1.？ Climatic factors: most of Russia's territory belongs to the north temperate climate, with a large temperature difference. The temperature in 65438+ 10 is basically-1-37 degrees. The outstanding thing is that the car has corresponding cold resistance. It's not that foresters do special cold protection, but in Russia, in order to meet the needs of short-distance outing on weekends, tents, gadgets, snow equipment, and even boats swimming around the lake, as well as related items to cope with winter and cold air. It takes a long time to change a winter tire once a year. Considering the cost of all aspects, a cost-effective SUV is very popular among Russians.

2.？ Environmental factors: Russia is vast and sparsely populated. Moscow and several major cities in Europe have concentrated 80% of Russia's population. As far as Moscow is concerned, the forest coverage rate is as high as 40%, which means that you can see all the trees when you drive in the city. Coincidentally, the forester's car name is also worthy of the name. Forest people's veritable urban off-road performance is also most suitable for typical Russian cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg.

3.？ Humanistic factors: Russians also have a fanatical pursuit of machinery. Different from the modification styles of the United States, Japan and Germany, Russians have their own views on cars. In fact, it also stems from the love of horizontal opposition, the demand for full-time four-wheel drive, and the drastic modification style. Russians are willing to play with cars. They prefer distinctive cars. Only Porsche and Subaru can play at present. In terms of cost, it's Subaru, not to mention Porsche doesn't have an SUV from horizontally opposed engine. The other is the demand for hard-core off-road. The simplicity and rudeness of the fighting nation make foresters very suitable for Russians. You can do anything you want to decorate directly, and it will definitely suit the hands of Russians.

4.？ Price factor: foresters are sold very cheaply in Russia, and the landing price is basically equivalent to RMB10.9 million. In China, regardless of whether the distribution will be magical, it is estimated that it will be 65438+ tens of thousands higher in terms of various taxes alone. It directly reduces its competitiveness in China. In addition, for China and Russia, Subaru is an imported car, but the parts import and price system are very different. It is easy and relatively cheap to buy pure Japanese accessories in Russia.

Well, that's why foresters sell well in Russia from the perspective of Russian consumption habits (selling well here means according to the sales of minority models, please don't compare different models ... because it will hurt you). Forest people have many advantages in the eyes of Russians, even the shortcomings in our eyes are advantages in their eyes. Give a few examples to see ~

1.？ Power problem: the power problem of small horse-drawn carts, which has been criticized by us, does not exist for daily foresters in Russia. Horizontally opposed engine's low center of gravity and foresters' great torque on icy roads meet their daily needs. So that they can happily drive the rangers through the slippery or snowy forest paths and enjoy the surrounding beauty and driving pleasure safely and comfortably.

Don't look at the Russian version of the forester, it's just a slight mixture of 2.0 and 2.5. Most Russian foresters are still the old version of 3.0 displacement naturally aspirated and 2.0 turbine, which is their favorite, because the service life of batteries in cold weather makes Russians less interested in the so-called new energy. 202 1 although the new generation of foresters listed in Russia also adopted the light mixed mode, they did not promote it as a bright spot in the daily publicity of the Russian market.

2.？ The problem of burning oil: for Russia, burning oil? Burn it. I don't care. It's cheaper than water. Russia only heard that it can't afford to wash the car, but it didn't hear that it can't bear the oil. Can't afford to drive a Porsche, can't afford to burn oil.

3.？ Noise: Russians' pursuit of forester's car noise is extremely divided. The requirements are high, the overall sound insulation effect of the car body should be reloaded, and even aviation-grade sound insulation materials should be installed. Is it noisy in the universe? It doesn't matter what the original factory is. It's already quiet to pursue low noise. I don't care about noise at all. So the original factory is generally enough. As for wind noise and tire noise, no matter how much you care about it in Russia, the cold wind in winter and the sound of all vehicles rubbing the asphalt pavement after nailing the tires in winter can't be described by sour words. I feel weak without sound insulation, so just "enjoy".

4.？ Interior space: Russians have much lower requirements for interior space than we do. In the official promotional video, a mother is playing with her baby seat from different angles, which is very spacious. Moreover, they will make good use of the forester's space outside the car and install many outside accessories. The width of the back door is 1 m3, which is spacious and deep, and also meets their short-distance needs. Extra things can be put on the accessories added to the roof and back door.

5.？ Inland: For Russians, inland ... seems less important. Ai can't even find articles and posts about Subaru interior on Yandax. It is said that after driving home, the useless things inside (as for what is useless, please make up for it according to the car habits of the fighting people) will be removed and put in the garage. And then add something weird.

Anyway, the Subaru Forester SG9 is a very suitable car for Russians and has always been favored by them. On weekends, the whole family drove to the suburbs to play, with heating, small lakes and forest paths. What a pleasant thing ~ this issue is also mostly pictures and cases in cold areas, giving you a feeling of this different style. In the next article, let's take a look at the China complex (robbery) between Subaru Forester and Brz.
