Off the charts Yan value, American hard-core strength, test drive Chevrolet new explorer.

Chevrolet Explorer, which went on sale in 2005, is one of the largest SUV in the world. So far, this SUV has sold 3.8 million vehicles worldwide. 20 17 entered the China market and quickly entered the SUV "Ten Thousand Clubs". In late September this year, Chevrolet Explorer went public in China. In addition to the appearance changes, there are 22 configuration upgrades in the whole car, equipped with the latest power system. The official guide price is much lower than before, lowering the threshold for young people to buy new explorers. Recently, the editors of hip-hop cars flew to Wuhan and drove 200 kilometers from Wuhan to liangzi lake, Ezhou. After the long-distance test drive, we judged that the car had been upgraded, which brought us new feelings.

The black appearance of the new RS is really cool.

There is a good saying: "Buy a car after 70 for stability, after 80 for practicality, and after 90 for individuality." In the past, the all-black appearance may not be very popular, but now it is different. This car is more like a personal accessory. In order to show young people's self-personality, the car we test-drive this time is a 550T RS 9AT four-wheel drive intelligent health care version with a guide price of 239,900 yuan. Obsidian black wheels, luggage racks, signs, nets, doors ... even the bright silver chrome-plated decorative strips have become electroplated black. In this context, the RS red logo and red taillights of China Net are particularly eye-catching. The only place where the whole car can see silver is the "crater" shaped exhaust pipes on both sides. We especially want to drive this car, driving under the neon lights in Wuhan at night, and what flashes in our mind is the big scene of Shadow Knight.

We are quite satisfied with the change of the front face. In the past, the integrated headlights were split in two under the division of decorative strips, giving people the impression that the cross-country wind in the past dropped sharply and became the city's luster, which was more luxurious from all angles. The tire adopts Goodyear Royal's 235 mm specification, which has excellent quietness and fuel economy. The beautiful 19 inch wheels add a lot of color to the side, and Bian Xiao's favorite is the hidden D-pillar design, which has a sense of sight of luxury cars.

Comments: The appearance changes of new explorers mainly focus on the color matching of the front face and obsidian black, and the real car is very brilliant.

62 standards, starting from medium to high.

The interior of the new explorer is full of sports. We all feel much younger when sitting in such a car, such as bright red theme stitching, perforated leather sports seat with RS logo, steering wheel with black bow tie and sports gear lever with RS exclusive bright red logo. In terms of storage space, the number of new explorers has expanded to 26. The most unexpected thing is that it has an umbrella storage slot on the door panel, and the short folding umbrella has its own exclusive position since then. In the small details, the new explorer added the USB interface of Type-C, PM2.5 air filtration system, ANC active noise reduction technology, BOSE cinema-level advanced audio and so on. On the high-speed trip to Liangzi Lake, we felt the intimacy and comfort brought by these small configurations.

In the invisible places, the new explorers have also made great efforts. The standard configuration of the whole system has reached 62 items, and the introduction is the middle and high configuration of many models, such as the newly added ACC adaptive cruise system, lane keeping assistance, lane change assistance, lane departure warning, adaptive high beam assistance, front distance warning, side blind zone warning, frontal collision warning, collision mitigation braking, automatic parking assistance of high-equipped models, etc. With such a safety configuration blessing, many novice or female drivers don't have to worry about not being able to respond to driving.

In terms of Zhilian technology, all the new explorers have been upgraded to a new generation of MyLink+ intelligent in-vehicle interconnection system. In addition to supporting Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife, Bluetooth and other connection methods, the car also has a richer built-in car APP, covering practical functions such as intelligent navigation, entertainment music, news information, real-time weather, traffic life and information inquiry. It also provides OTA remote online upgrade, personalized account, WeChat team building, and the annual 100G "Anji Star Car Link application traffic is free for life" service, so there is no need to worry about insufficient traffic.

Comments: The visible places have been changed by new explorers, and the invisible places have been changed more by new explorers.

Equipped with Chevrolet 2T9 power combination to realize intelligent cylinder change.

According to the different needs of consumers, the new explorer provides two sets of powertrains, 1.5T and 2.0T. The rs series 2.0T engine that we test-drive this time is newly upgraded, equipped with the eighth generation Ecotec 2.0T intelligent variable cylinder turbine engine and 9-speed HYDRAMATIC? Chevrolet 2T9 consists of manual and automatic gearbox, which is not much different from Buick and Cadillac's variable cylinder 2.0T engines.

The most outstanding thing is that this 2.0T intelligent variable cylinder turbine engine has three-stage intelligent variable cylinder technology. Four cylinders of the engine work at the same time during rapid acceleration, and two cylinders can be closed during cruising, thus achieving the effect of fuel saving. According to the small series test, the new explorer can cut into the ninth gear at 95 km/h, which brings smoother shifting feeling and more sensitive acceleration performance. Thanks to the power combination of Chevrolet 2T9, the new explorer's acceleration time per 100 kilometers is 7.9 seconds, and the comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 6.9 liters.

In terms of chassis structure, new explorers have also made innovations. The front and rear sub-frames of the whole frame adopt 6-point connection structure, and the chassis is more rigid. When driving, it is obvious that the new explorer's chassis is more solid and stable, and the texture is better than the old one. In addition, the new explorer is also equipped with a powerful intelligent four-wheel drive system, which improves the adaptability under complex road conditions.

Comments: At present, there are not many 2.0T engines using cylinder shifting technology. In this price range, there are only new explorers.
