Wen Hao Ott is driving? Xin Zhang
The tour route of "Heaven and Earth is Travel" 2020 Mercedes-Benz SUV is from Dunhuang to Xining, with the whole journey 1888km, which takes 5 days.
The journey starts from Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, passes through Dachaidan, Shuiyadan, Kunlun Mountain Grand Canyon, Chaka Salt Lake and Qinghai Lake, and finally ends in Qinghai Guide National Geopark.
This year's team consists of brand-new GLA, GLB, long wheelbase GLC, GLC? Coupe, GLE, GLS, EQC, tengshi x and new g? At 350, Mercedes-Benz's SUV family gathered together, covering all levels of market segments of compact, medium, medium and large SUVs. Power forms also include three mainstream categories: fuel, plug-in hybrid and pure electric.
A huge fleet of 79 Mercedes-Benz SUVs has traveled nearly 2,000 kilometers all the way. So far, it is the largest test drive in 2020, with not only the most models, but also the longest mileage. The motorcade itself is a "living advertisement" for long-distance travel, and it has attracted great attention everywhere, which is very good for boosting the auto market after the epidemic.
What excites Zhi Jiajun (ID: zhiningqiche) most is that the longest section from Dachaidan to Golmud in the five-day trip is from New G? 350 with me, I have a 500km depth test drive opportunity of the new car with the highest attention of this team.
In the new g? Before the 350 went on the market, fans had many questions about this new entry-level luxury off-road vehicle-will the 2.0 T four-cylinder engine have a G? Is the engine sound as rich as 500? Can the power of 2.0T engine be used? g？ Will the off-road performance of the 350 be discounted?
The first question was answered at the moment I started the engine-that ——2.0T four-cylinder engine didn't have the sound effect of V8 engine, and its sound was no different from other engines of the same class. In fact, this answer is expected by many people. After all, the four-cylinder engine is very different from the V8 engine in structure, and the yacht-like sound can only be possessed by V8 and above engines.
The answer to the second question will soon come out. After starting from Dachaidan, the motorcade has experienced provincial and national roads with normal urban road conditions and moderate speed. The 2.0T four-cylinder engine can drive the car body with curb weight exceeding 2.3t.. After all, its maximum torque of 370Nm is already a high power level in a 2.0T engine.
When it is necessary to accelerate overtaking, the engine will have a good response without stepping on the accelerator deeply. The whole acceleration process can also be described as lightness, and the sound of the engine sounds effortless. Moreover, this is the performance in a fully loaded state, with four adults and luggage.
Therefore, in the urban driving scene, the speed is basically below 90km/h, and the new G? The power performance of the 350 is excellent enough, and overtaking will not feel procrastination. Even compared with V6 naturally aspirated engine, it will not be inferior.
When the vehicle speed is in the range of 100- 120km/h, the power output can also give people enough confidence, but at this time, the engine speed will increase faster and the engine sound will be obviously higher. Only when the vehicle speed reaches 120km/h or above, the power reserve of the 2.0T engine will feel a little insufficient, and it will take a deep step on the accelerator to accelerate again, and the engine speed will also slow down.
However, it should be emphasized that the new G? The performance characteristics of the 350 high-speed re-acceleration are not only brought by the engine, but also have a great relationship with its body shape. The "square box" body has an aerodynamic disadvantage. When driving at high speed, the low pressure area behind the rear of the car will produce great tension to "drag" the car body. So it is also equipped with a 2.0T engine and a new G? The air resistance of the 350 is much greater than that of those SUVs with smooth lines.
In addition, the test drive area of Zhijiajun is about 3000m above sea level, and the lack of oxygen in the air also has a certain impact on the engine power. If you drive in plain areas, the new G? 350 will have a better performance.
However, the new G? The fuel consumption of 350 is much better than that of G equipped with V8 engine. 500, its comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 10.7L, while the average fuel consumption of Zhijiajun in expressway is less than 10L, which can be regarded as a "tough guy" model with considerable fuel economy.
As for the third question, the new G? The 350 completely inherits G in off-road configuration? Non-loaded body, front, middle and rear three mechanical differential locks, off-road low gear and other 500 technologies are not available, so it has not lost its off-road genes.
Even under the leadership of full load, the new G? 350 also has the maximum climbing degree 100%, the maximum wading depth is 700mm, the ground clearance is 24 1mm, and the approach angle, departure angle and maximum roll angle are 3 1, 29.8 and 35 respectively.
In the Kunlun Mountain Grand Canyon, the factory specially arranged a new G? 350 canyon cross-country experience, new G? 350 drove down a narrow steep slope and came to the riverbed in the canyon. The water depth did not exceed the axle, but the vehicle was still on the ground.
Such off-road intensity is not difficult for G-class cars.
If you say new g? 350 and g? 500, that is, the new G in extreme cases? 350 may be because the power is not as good as g? 500 and it's hard to pass. However, the probability of such a scene is not great. Except for those experienced cross-country enthusiasts, most users may not have encountered it.
In the eyes of Zhijiajun, the new G? The selling point of the 350 is not only the tough guy temperament and off-road performance. When you get into its cockpit, you will find that it is actually a car armed with technological configuration.
Dual 12.3-inch display, 64-color ambient light, 16 speaker Burmester sound system, car networking service and voice interaction are all necessary configurations for luxury cars. Its front and rear seats can be heated, and the front seats also have ventilation and massage functions, making long-distance travel more comfortable.
What surprises Zhi Jiajun the most is the new G? Compared with the previous generation, the rear seat space of the 350 has been greatly improved. The hardness of the seat is moderate, which is convenient for long-term riding. The optimization of the back line of the front seat increases the legroom in the back row, and I am not embarrassed to sit in the back row when I am 1.75m tall.
In terms of intelligent driving control, the new G? The 350 comes standard with intelligent navigation distance limiting function, blind spot assistance, intelligent parking, preventive safety system, active braking assistance and active lane keeping assistance. It has reached L2-level automatic driving assistance capability, which is basically the highest level that can be reached on the market at present, and is the first-class level in the off-road vehicle camp. Driving long distances in expressway, drivers can also experience the same relaxed feeling as smart cars.
At present, the new G? 350 is highly concerned, but consumers have different attitudes towards it. The reason is mainly concentrated on the 2.0T four-cylinder engine. Some people have doubts about this and habitually think that small displacement engines are not enough to support the name "big G".
What Zhi Jiajun wants to emphasize is that the new G? 350 is a new car of the big G family. It was "added" as an entry-level model, not used to "replace" G? 500.
New g? The value of 350 lies in lowering the threshold of G-class cars to a certain extent, reducing the fuel consumption and emission indicators of G-class cars, and providing a choice for consumers who love big G temperament and pay attention to reality.
Its audience will probably not be too wide, after all, the value of 6.5438+0.42 million yuan or more is unacceptable to ordinary consumers. But even so, we should still see the new G? The market value of 350 as an entry-level model. It shows an attitude, a travel attitude that embraces the vast world while pursuing environmental protection and energy conservation.
This is actually the attitude that Mercedes-Benz's "Heaven and Earth as a Journey" SUV tour wants to express-awe and care for nature, and bravely pursue the beautiful world in your heart.
