Less than 1.4 million want to buy a practical SUV and put it at home? It must be it! Kia chi ran to find out.

Car home performance test? As a compact SUV owned by Dongfeng Da Yue Kia, Zhipao has been favored by many consumers with its tough shape, rich configuration, affordable price and engine displacement of 1.4T/2.0L (meeting the national six emission standards) since it was launched on 20 19. However, in the face of China SUV market, it is obviously not enough for a product to have these advantages. Still need to rely on higher practical value and people-friendly prices to be accepted by consumers. Let's use car home's AH- 100 vehicle evaluation system to make a comprehensive evaluation of Zhipao to see if it is really "livable" as everyone said.

★ Take two minutes to read the following contents, and you can learn 60% information about Dongfeng Da Yue Kia Chi Run:

1, Zhirun has launched six models: 1.4T and 2.0L. 1.4T models are matched with 7-speed dual-clutch gearboxes, and 2.0l models have 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic manual gearboxes. The price range of new cars is 1 1.99- 14.

2. The SPORTAGE you see in front of you is the fifth generation product, among which 1.4T model is a brand-new power model recently launched by Zhirun;

The acceleration time of 3.0- 100km/h is 10.89 seconds, the braking distance of 100km/h is 39. 16 meters, and the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 7L/ 100km. All the performances of Zhipao are good.

There are two disadvantages: the engine is noisy and there are many subtle vibrations from the chassis.

The smart running we tested this time is 1.4T-20 19 DCT intelligent luxury and comfortable top models, and the official guide price is 148900 yuan.

There is no exaggerated front face design, no dazzling LED headlights, and no horizontal taillights popular in the "back wave". This is how Xinzhi Run came to us. The vehicle design is conservative and not eye-catching. My colleague Kun Li described him as "a calm uncle". Indeed, from the perspective of Kia's market positioning and target population, it is mainly the post-80s generation of the new generation, so it pays more attention to household use and practicality, but the deficiency is equally obvious, that is, it lacks vitality.

From the design point of view, Zhirun follows the classic design of Kia brand family. By adding dot matrix design to the front air intake grille and connecting the grille with the headlights on both sides, the designer highlights the overall sense and fashion sense of the front face of the new car.

The real shot of this smart run is the top model, but we found that all the other light groups use halogen light sources except the daytime running lights are LED. This kind of lighting configuration has the advantages of low replacement cost and strong penetration in rainy and foggy weather, but it has not kept up with the progress of the times in other aspects and is more "disadvantaged" than competitors at the same price.

After a careful look, the author found that the real shot model is actually equipped with a front millimeter wave radar and a monocular camera. I thought this car had made great efforts in driving safety configuration, but later, I inquired about the configuration table and found that this ADAS advanced driver assistance system package (including FCA front anti-collision assistance, LKA lane keeping assistance, DAW driver fatigue reminder and ACC adaptive cruise) is not standard configuration, and users need to pay extra.

The design of the new intelligent running side is quite satisfactory. The overall outline is tough and square, the front and rear wheel arches are slightly raised, and there is a sense of muscle that SUV models should have, which is a relatively attractive type.

Body size is not the strength of Xinzhi Run. 1850mm width and 2640mm wheelbase are slightly inferior to competitors such as CR-V; All models of Zhirun come standard with 18-inch wheels, which is just the right size for a compact SUV.

The name of the car arranged in the center, the big black rear wall and the double vent decorative cover (actually a hidden single exhaust pipe) are all commendable designs, which make the tail of Zhipao appear distinct and give people a full visual effect.

Founder's body shape makes Zhirun slightly larger, and the overall design has not changed much compared with the fourth-generation models. I think this may be an inheritance of the fixed car system by the old car companies, which makes the acceptance of consumers smooth and excessive, and the market acceptance is better.

● The interior is practical.

The interior design of Zhipao adopts a linear and symmetrical central control layout to create a calm style. As a home compact SUV, Zhirun's interior materials are not too surprising. The upper part of the center console is decorated with hard plastic and imitation wood, and only the door handle that is often touched on the door panel is wrapped in red leather.

The operation of the central control and air conditioning area is easy to use, and the layout design of the whole cockpit is quite reasonable, and most of the physical buttons and knobs are still retained.

The steering wheel has a good shape and feel. I think if the steering wheel can be thicker, the grip will be better. As for the dashboard behind the steering wheel, follow the trend of the times. On both sides are semi-circular mechanical dashboards with a 7-inch LCD screen in the middle. According to different driving modes, there are three display modes, with rich driving information and clear picture quality.

Zhirun 1.4T models come standard with an 8-inch touch LCD screen. Although this size is not big today, it is basically enough. 360-degree panoramic image is the standard configuration of 1.4T top model (DCT intelligent luxury comfort model). As for the handles of the central control knob and buttons, they have reached the level that a car of this level should have. Although it is not as crisp as a ratchet, it is very compact and the damping of the keys has reached a satisfactory level.

1.4T also comes standard with the interconnection mapping of Baidu CarLife and Apple CarPlay mobile phones, which further enhances the practicability of the in-vehicle system. With the increasing dependence of modern people on mobile phones, it is also a good solution to map the mobile phone screen to the central control screen. In addition, Zhirun's in-vehicle system also supports Baidu map real-time navigation, Baidu DuerOS voice interactive system (supporting navigation, online music, weather query, air conditioning, telephone and other voice commands), radio and Bluetooth music.

Zhirun's interior materials are as tough as the appearance. The center console and the top of the door are made of hard plastic. Although they have sewed similar needles, the overall effect is almost meaningless.

1.4T Zhipao * * * has three models (low fashion GL, medium luxury GLS and high luxury comfort). Among them, the front seat heating function is standard for the high-equipped models, and the rear seat heating needs to be optional. The front and rear seat heating for the medium-equipped models is optional, and the low-equipped models do not support it.

As for the active/passive safety configuration, the word "rich" can also be used to describe the smart running, such as FCA frontal collision avoidance assistance, LKA lane keeping assistance, DAW driver fatigue reminder, ACC adaptive cruise, front double airbags, front side airbags, side air curtains, tire pressure display, etc., but ADAS and side air curtains are not standard in all systems and need to be equipped with top models.

As a compact SUV, Zhirun's space performance can meet our expectations. Take the experiencer whose height is 175cm as an example, whether sitting in the front row or sitting in the back row, you can get a good space margin. In addition, the details of Zhipao are also worthy of recognition. For example, the front headrest not only supports up-and-down adjustment, but also supports forward and backward adjustment.

Except for the low-profile models, all other models are equipped with openable panoramic sunroof, which supports sliding and tilting opening, and the practicality is guaranteed. According to our measured data, the light transmission area and openable area are equally considerable, reaching 0.86㎡ and 0.3 1㎡ respectively.

In terms of storage space, Zhipao shows a pragmatic side. The conventional storage compartments are all set up, and there are two layers of storage compartments in front of the handle. Paper towels are just on the lower floor, and mobile phones are just on the upper floor. I have to say that this design is very thoughtful and practical. However, there are still some areas that can be optimized. For example, the front central cup holder can be designed to be compact, so that the volume of the central armrest box can be designed to be larger.

Under normal circumstances, the trunk volume of Zhipao is quite satisfactory in a compact SUV, and three suitcases of 20-inch, 24-inch and 28-inch can be put without putting down the back seat. When the back of the rear seat is laid down, a plane can be formed. After opening the lid at the bottom, I found that there is still a lot of storage space below, which is suitable for putting some relatively private items. The disadvantage of the trunk is that it is not equipped with curtains, and there is no installation position reserved for curtains in the trunk. Once you go out to park, the personal belongings stored in the trunk may be "unobstructed" by passers-by, and the privacy and safety of the car need to be improved.

Static part AH- 100 score

In the static evaluation part, Zhipao's process quality score is not high, mainly because we found that the gap size on both sides of the hood of this car is quite different, and the interior material is mostly hard plastic, so the process quality score is affected.

● Sufficient dynamic performance and smooth DCT gearbox.

At present, the new intelligent running I * * has three sets of powertrains: ① 1.4T engine +7DCT gearbox, ② 2.0L engine +6MT gearbox and ③ 2.0L engine +6AT gearbox. According to the different powertrains, the official guide price range of Zhipao is between11.99-148900 yuan. This model we tested is the top model, and it is also the one with the highest configuration, the most expensive price and the most gears.

This 1.4T small displacement engine carried by Kia Chi Run is also famous. Years ago, it was rated as one of Ward's top ten engines. Compared with the "2.0L+6AT" power, this power will obviously be technically updated and have a better reputation.

For a compact SUV with a curb weight of only 1.4t, the power of1.4t can only be considered sufficient within the legal speed limit, and at the same time, the maximum power output is limited to 6000rpm.. If the driver wants to speed up, change lanes, overtake or make an emergency start, he will not feel the power brought by the 1.4t engine until the speed climbs to 3000 rpm.

It is worth mentioning that the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox will delay the shift time to about 6500rpm when fully accelerating in sports mode. In this case, the sound of the engine's high speed is matched with the quick shift of the dual-clutch gearbox, and there is a hint of movement during intelligent operation.

Considering that most users are most concerned about the driving experience under the condition of medium and low speed, the author also has a special experience. Usually, the turbine starts to intervene around 1500rpm. At this time, the throttle response is not sensitive, and the gearbox judges the upshift more accurately. Step on the gearbox a little deeper and quickly complete the downshift and acceleration, and you will understand your intention.

After a round of dynamic experience, Zhipao can complete the task well according to the driver's intention, without too much "small temper", just like a pragmatic guy.

◆ 0- 100km/h accelerated test

After testing, the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox used in Zhirun 1.4T models is not like other automatic gearboxes, which can be ejected by pressing the speed to obtain better acceleration effect. Instead, Zhipao's dual-clutch gearbox directly releases the brakes and steps on the accelerator to the end, so the acceleration result will be better. In the continuous tests, the acceleration time of 0- 100km/h is about 1 1 second except for the first time. I guess it may be that the oil temperature of the gearbox rises, which leads to an early upshift, thus affecting the acceleration G value and acceleration performance. Although the acceleration performance of 10.89s is not excellent, it can be ranked to the middle level in the same level.

◆ Fuel consumption test

The fuel consumption test was * * * driving10/km, with an average speed of 30km/h, and the air conditioner was turned on (24 degrees Celsius, second gear, internal circulation). Under this working condition, we tested between congestion, urban roads and expressway, showing that the fuel consumption is 6.9L/ 100km, and the measured fuel consumption is 7L.

Strength part AH- 100 score

● Steering and chassis feel

Let me talk about the feel of this set of electric power steering. The steering assist mode of intelligent running is related to the driving mode. When driving at low speed, we can obviously feel the difference of assistance in different driving modes. ECO energy-saving mode has the lightest feel. The steering feel in sports mode is simulated to be heavier than the hydraulic power of the same level, and the normal mode is in between.

The suspension of Zhipao belongs to the hard-core style, and it has a strong sense of support when cornering. However, even if some subtle vibrations are filtered out by the shock absorber, they will inevitably be transmitted to the compartment, and there is still room for improvement in the comfort of the slightly bumpy road surface.

Finally, talk about the adjustment of the chassis. The chassis of Zhipao has a strong sense of integrity, and the dynamic response of the car body is flexible and tough enough, retaining the sense of support and road feeling when cornering.

◆ 100-0km/h braking test

This treadmill is equipped with a set of Jinhukailude KL33 tires, front ventilated brake discs and rear solid brake discs. 100-0km/h after ten consecutive braking tests, there is a slight thermal attenuation phenomenon, and the braking performance fluctuates between 38 meters and 40 meters. The braking G value is mostly maintained above-1g, and the average braking performance also reaches our evaluation system.

◆ Noise test

The performance of noise part is remarkable. Except for the speed interval of 120km/h, the noise values measured in other speed intervals are lower than those recommended by the evaluation system. Personally, I think engine noise and wind noise are the main factors that affect the quiet inside the car when running at high speed.

Control part AH- 100 score

● Full text summary:

There is not much eye-catching place in the whole appearance and interior design of Zhirun. Today in 2020, many designs are out of date, but they are definitely not fashionable. If I have to use one word to describe it, then I think only "pragmatists" are more suitable for this tough and attractive intelligence. There is no fancy design, but practical functions are given to users as much as possible, such as 360-degree panoramic image, cruise control, panoramic sunroof, front seat heating, 8-inch central control panel supporting CarPlay/CarLife interconnection, tire pressure display, etc. Just like a down-to-earth guy, he can still be moved by the details of smart running when he gets along. The power matching is smooth and the spatial performance is satisfactory. It would be better if the engine noise and chassis performance were better.

Total score of AH- 100:

Finally, in the case of "a hundred flowers blossom" in the compact SUV market in China, a product needs to rely on higher practical value and people-friendly price to make ordinary consumers willing to vote with banknotes. Smart running obviously satisfies the first half sentence, and the second half sentence is the important factor that affects most users to buy a car.

[car home Professional Evaluation]? 0- 100km/h acceleration time 10. 17 seconds, 100km/h braking distance is 39.68 meters, and the average fuel consumption is 7.3L/ 100km. This is the data of this 2.0L intelligent run, compared with the brand-new intelligent run we tested before. Let's use car home's AH- 100 vehicle evaluation system to make a comprehensive evaluation of this Zhipao 2.0L model to see its strength geometry.

● Is there a big difference between appearance and 1.4T model?

The Zhipao we test-drive this time is a 2.0L mid-range model-20192.0L automatic intelligent deluxe edition, and the official guide price is 139900 yuan.

In order to distinguish between 2.0L and 1.4T, Dongfeng Da Yue Kia mainly distinguishes the mesh grille. In the former, lattice design is added between chrome-plated decorative strips of banners, while in the latter, lattice design is directly added inside decorative strips. The author thinks that the net of the 2.0L model will look better, and it is more in line with the aesthetics of the post-80 s consumer groups targeted by the smart running model.

Around the car, the author can find that the only difference between 2.0L and 1.4T models is the tire model. The difference between 2.0L and 1.4T Kincaid KL33 tires is that this test car uses a set of Nexen ordinary four-season tires (the "M+S" logo shown above refers to the ordinary four-season tires suitable for mud and snow, and its main difference is that it has more patterns than ordinary tires.

● Power: Ride comfort is still the highlight.

Compared with the previously tested 1.4T model, the engine and gearbox of this 2.0L displacement smart run are different. Let's start with this 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, which complies with the national six emission regulations. In fact, it was improved on the basis of the 2.0L engine of the previous generation model (Kia KX5). In addition to the reduction of power parameters (the maximum power is reduced by 3kW and the peak torque is reduced by 6N·m), the high-speed driving performance and fuel economy performance are also optimized.

In terms of gearbox, Zhirun 2.0L provides a 6-speed automatic manual gearbox (middle-equipped and high-equipped models) and a 6-speed manual gearbox (entry-configured models).

The technology of Zhirun Nu 2.0 MPI engine is not new. The maximum power of 160 horsepower can only be output when the engine speed climbs to about 6500 rpm, which is higher than that of competing cars with the same displacement 1000 rpm or more. For a family car, it is difficult to reach such a high speed in daily urban driving, and overtaking and merging need to wait for the speed to climb. For friends who like to drive hard, this engine really needs to be thought clearly.

Fortunately, not everyone is running in an SUV, not walking at home is everyone's demand. In ECO energy-saving mode and NORMAL mode, Zhipao is still very popular with drivers when driving in urban areas. When stepping on the accelerator lightly, the power output is linear, and the 6AT gearbox can understand the driver's intention very well, and it will not be particularly sloppy or particularly procrastinating. The ride comfort is commendable.

In sports mode, full throttle acceleration will not provide a strong push back feeling, but will actively complete the speed-up process, that is, the noise of high engine speed will inevitably be introduced into the compartment.

Even in the middle and late period of full speed-up, we can still feel that the engine still has power reserve, which is not as hysterical as that in the late period of 1.4T speed-up. This is the difference between the two basic displacements of 2.0L and1.4l. The greater the basic displacement, the more sufficient power reserve it gives the driver. Of course, this is not to say that small-displacement turbocharged engines are not good. The purchase tax and vehicle and vessel tax of small-displacement engines are relatively low in vehicle cost, and the amount of engine oil consumed during maintenance is also small. Only when driving at high speed or accelerating rapidly, the difference of power reserve is quite obvious. This is the impression left by two sets of power (2.0L+6AT, 1.4T+7DCT) of the intelligent running.

● 0- 100km/h acceleration: 10. 17 seconds.

According to the actual measurement, the acceleration of10.17second 0- 100km/h is made in the way of "maintaining speed", and the maximum starting speed can reach 1900rpm. When the brake pedal is released, the tire will slip slightly, but it will soon regain its grip and move forward quickly.

After all, it is a "2.0L+6AT" powertrain. The acceleration performance of the whole vehicle is better than that of1.4t. The power output is smooth but lacks explosiveness. Fortunately, the basic displacement has an advantage, so the speed-up drivers in the middle and late stages can also feel confidence. After all, the power reserve is quite sufficient. After repeated tests, the fastest acceleration performance of Zhirun 2.0L model is 10. 17 seconds on sunny days with outdoor temperature of 28℃.

The acceleration time of 10. 100km/h/kloc-0.17 seconds is not eye-catching in competing products of the same level, but it is enough for daily use and the ride comfort is satisfactory. The gradual dynamic characteristics of naturally aspirated engines are very pleasing.

● The average fuel consumption is 7.3L/ 100km.

■ Power part AH- 100.

In terms of fuel consumption test, the average speed of 30km/h ran 65,438+002.6 km, the starting temperature of air conditioning and refrigeration was 24℃, and the comprehensive fuel consumption was 7.5 liters. The final average fuel consumption is 7.3 liters/100 kilometers, which is worthy of recognition and lower than the recommended value of car home.

● Steering and chassis feel

The chassis structure of the new Zhipao is basically the same as that of the previous generation. The suspension structure is a multi-link combination of the former McPherson and the rear, and there is no vehicle equipped with a four-wheel drive system.

The chassis texture of this 2.0L model is similar to that of the 1.4T model. For example, both of them belong to the tough style, so they have a strong sense of support when cornering, but even if some subtle vibrations are filtered by the shock absorber, they will inevitably be transmitted to the compartment, and there is still room for improvement in the comfort of the slightly bumpy road.

In terms of improving road noise and wind noise, Zhirun has widely used sound-absorbing materials such as foamed sound insulation pads in fender, A-pillar and B-pillar of vehicles, and further optimized the frequency adjustment of air intake resonant cavity to reduce idle speed and driving noise. If users can change a set of mute tires in the future, I think the mute performance of the whole carriage can be better.

In terms of brake foot feeling, intelligent running is very linear and brake pedal feedback is moderate. For example, when a car decelerates at a high speed, the vehicle can decelerate according to the driver's intention. Even if you are driving this new car for the first time, I believe you can control the braking force.

The steering performance of Zhipao has a strong electronic taste. For example, the steering feel in ECO energy-saving mode is very light, which leads to blurred road feeling and directivity. After switching to the normal standard mode, the steering feeling will be much more natural. The throttle response and steering feel in this mode are very suitable for daily driving, and it is very smooth to drive.

● 100-0km/h braking distance: 39.68m

Although the braking performance of 39.68m 100-0km/h can't reach the excellent level of automobile home test standard, there is only a thin line between them. Don't forget that this test car is equipped with a set of Nexen ordinary four-season tires, and its handling and braking performance are not as good as ordinary tires. It is very balanced to have such a grip performance. If compared with competing models of the same level, I think the performance of Zhipao is above average, and the performance of braking for many times has not decreased, and the stable performance is satisfactory.

● Noise test

The performance of noise part is remarkable. The engine noise is obvious when Zhipao is driving at high speed, which has always been the short board of Zhipao. Although the measured data is lower than the recommended value of our evaluation standard, don't forget that the instantaneous speed of the maximum horsepower of this 2.0L engine is as high as 6500rpm, which means that the quietness when the car is driving at a constant speed is easily broken by a driver's overtaking or speed-up action.

■ AH- 100 score of control parts

● Full text summary:

Korean cars have been selling well in China with the advantage of high cost performance, but in recent years, with the rise of China brand, the label of high cost performance has been gradually diluted, resulting in its sales frustrated. It is easy to understand that from the listing of the fifth-generation Zhirun, the author saw that Dongfeng Da Yue Kia seems to be a "straight man" and continues to dig deep into the "high cost performance", resulting in almost no innovation in the overall appearance and interior materials of the new car, as I said at the beginning-tough.

Finally, let me tell you about the two sets of power for intelligent running. The most impressive thing is that, for example, after stepping on the accelerator pedal deeply, the 1.4T model will use most of the power after the intervention of the turbocharger, while the 2.0L model will release the power smoothly with the increase of vehicle speed, and its power reserve will give the driver sufficient confidence, even if it accelerates rapidly, it will not make the passengers in the car feel uncomfortable, plus satisfactory fuel consumption performance and abundant.
