Will the fuel consumption of the new 1.5T engine really "drop" after testing?

FAW-Volkswagen, as we all know, is highly sought after for its debut with "joint venture quality". However, with the rise of China automobile, the advantage of "joint venture quality" is no longer obvious, especially the compact SUV market of 6,543,800+0.5 million has been squeezed. Faced with this dilemma, can we help the public break through the mid-term reform? Today we answer yes or no by test drive. ......

As we all know, in the domestic automobile consumption market, 1.5 million compact SUV has become a battleground for major automobile enterprises, especially after the strong invasion of independent brands, which directly affected the popularity of FAW-Volkswagen. However, this is not important. Today's Ge Tan has undergone a mid-term transformation, and has been upgraded in an all-round way. As for what is reflected? Let's start with a simple static experience.

In the mid-term change, it is obvious that the face value will not be as big as the upgrade, so the overall shape of the new exploration song still retains the design of the current model, but in details, like the change of the net, the interior adopts the exclusive shape of the blackened honeycomb R line, which can reduce the "public face" and increase a little youthfulness. However, the biggest change in the front face is the addition of IQ. Light matrix headlights can help you realize headlight height adjustment and zoning lighting functions, and improve the safety of night travel. Maybe you will say that this set of headlights has appeared in many Volkswagen cars, but don't forget that it is a class model of 654.38+0.5 million.

When you get to the side of the car body, you will find that there is no obvious change between the new car and the existing car, which can only be seen in the book data. Length/width/height 4336(R-line model: 4319) mm/1819mm/1592mm, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. Compared with cash, the basic model only increases the length and height of 10mm. Of course, this data is not dominant compared with independent brands at the same level.

Compared with the front face, the rear of the new exploration song has changed greatly. The taillight named "Eye of the Helmet" adopts the current mainstream penetrating design, which has greatly improved the recognition and fashion sense, and combined with the bilateral single "exhaust" decoration surrounded by chrome trim strips (in fact, hidden exhaust), it brings a full youthful flavor.

To tell the truth, if the interior of the newly explored Song Dynasty is described as "fashion", it will inevitably be exaggerated. After all, in the technological era of "big screen all-inclusive" when getting off the bus, the discovery song with a certain number of physical buttons will inevitably be somewhat conservative. But in my opinion, it is the common functional design in the form of physical buttons that can highlight the humanization of vehicles. And when it comes to fashion, it also has 10.3-inch LCD instrument, 9.3-inch floating central control panel supporting wireless CarPlay, and built-in IQ. Smart cars, as well as brand-new multi-function steering wheel and co-pilot atmosphere light board, can save the image of some young models.

As for other configurations, the Beats audio, mobile phone wireless charging, seat heating, steering wheel heating, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, panoramic sunroof, L2 driver assistance system and other configurations that can be seen on this top model can meet people's daily travel needs.

After the static experience is over, let's talk about the riding experience. Because the wheelbase of the new car has not changed, after the front seat is adjusted to the safe driving position, the adult male with a height of 1.8 meters sits in the second row, and there is only one punch in the leg space and head space, which is quite satisfactory. Speaking of which, I have to mention two things about this car. One is that the top model does not want to change the power into electric seat adjustment. In addition, the central projection in the back row is really high!

Ok, let's have a dynamic experience! The biggest change in the exploration of this new song is mainly the replacement of the latest EA2 1 1 Evo2 engine. The maximum power is increased to 1 18kW, and the peak torque is still 250n·m, which matches the Volkswagen classic 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox. The new car benefits from the variable turbine geometry jointly developed by Borgwarner and Porsche. When the turbine diameter is tightened at low speed, the turbine speed can be quickly increased and the turbine lag can be reduced. At high speed, the diameter of the turbine is larger, which increases the air intake and finally brings more rapid power output.

Driving in economy or ordinary driving mode, the whole process of a new car from starting to accelerating is very linear, and effective power feedback can be obtained by lightly stepping on the accelerator. In the process of gear shifting, the 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox, which has been adjusted for many years, bid farewell to the criticism of gear shifting frustration, especially when driving on mountain roads, the power connection is obviously much more delicate.

Front: McPherson/Rear: Multi-link independent suspension, which compromises household comfort as a whole, can effectively filter small bumps on township roads, feel the tension from the chassis when cornering at high speed, and bring enough confidence in safe cornering, which conforms to the stable quality of German cars.

The reason why this is a long-distance test drive of 500km+ is mainly because there is a "fuel consumption challenge of not less than 270 km". We have not taken extreme measures such as driving at a low speed and losing weight because of the pursuit of low fuel consumption. But according to the requirements of the competition, we were filled with four adults. However, we also used some "small means" to turn off the air conditioner and windows, but it's rainy in Qiandao Lake, so there's no need to turn it on, don't you think? Let's talk about the whole trip. First, fill up the oil in Qiandao Lake service area, close the oil tank and reset the subtotal. We started driving on the expressway for about 130km, then in the afternoon we drove along the expressway around Qiandao Lake for 186km, with a total mileage of 3 16km, and then we added 14. 1 liter 95 at the gas station. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 4.62 liters, which is consistent with the apparent fuel consumption. If it is a normal family, it is estimated that it will increase by about 1 liter. For a domestic SUV with 1.5T engine, except for the embarrassment of recommending 95 # gasoline, the overall situation is satisfactory.

Write to the end:

As an important model established by FAW-Volkswagen for the domestic compact SUV market, Ge Tan faces not only the competition of joint venture brands, but also the double attack of independent brands and joint venture brands, so it is not easy to win. However, judging from the mid-term change, the strength of the new Ge Tan has indeed improved by slightly changing its face value and changing its power core. However, all this is ultimately subject to pricing. The conservative estimate should be "quantity increases but price does not increase", and the price is between15-170,000. what do you think?
