Pre-sale slogan

Recently, a new generation of Woz travelers officially opened the pre-sale in China. The pre-sale price of the new car is 654.38+058.8 million yuan. The most important thing is that this car is limited to 300 units nationwide.

For many white cars, I don't know if I have heard such a sentence: "Is it Porsche and which brand jointly launched a limited edition station wagon?"

Don't! As you expected, Vaz Traveler is not a limited edition station wagon launched by luxury brands, but an off-road van produced by Russia's Ulyanovsk automobile factory.

It also had a brother before, who was also imported into the China market in parallel, named Watts Hunter. Yes, it's the magic car in the chicken-eating game.

Speaking of this Ulyanovsk automobile factory, it is famous. On the one hand, the famous Lenin was born in Ulyanovsk region. On the other hand, because it is one of the largest automobile manufacturing centers in Russia, its status is similar to Detroit in the United States.

As the facade of Ulyanovsk Region, Ulyanovsk Automobile Factory is naturally famous.

Although the Wazi travelers who entered China this time are nominally a new generation, in fact, since the production of 1966, they have not really changed generations, and they are always patched for another year. Therefore, this model is only modified in detail on the basis of the old model.

Before, we always thought that Toyota's LC76, TOOLA Y6 1 and Mercedes-Benz G-Class were living fossils of cross-country circles. Now, we put them in front of Watts travelers, only to know that the original idea was a bit hasty.

Moreover, there is a slogan on its poster: "Off-road four-wheel drive van that can easily reach every corner of the world", which is worthy of being a famous fighting family, and the propaganda slogan is so bold. After all, even Mercedes-Benz G never said that it could easily reach every corner of the world.

From this point of view, only Unimok can compete with Wazi travelers in momentum.

Of course, Watts travelers have their moments of arrogance. As a so-called van, it adopts the same non-loaded body as the hard-core off-road vehicle, and also adopts the integral axle suspension.

At the same time, it adopts a part-time four-wheel drive system, equipped with a low-speed four-wheel drive mode and a rear axle differential lock. In addition, the minimum ground clearance is 205 mm, the maximum wading depth is 500 mm, and the approach angle and departure angles are 30 and 27 respectively.

It can be said that it is no different from a hard-core off-road vehicle except for the shell of "a car". The overall off-road hardware is definitely the best in the van circle, and even Mitsubishi Delika has to admit defeat.

In terms of power, Woz Traveler is equipped with a 2.7L naturally aspirated engine, all of which are matched with a 5MT gearbox. So, is this Watts Hunter worth buying? For less than 654.38+0.6 million, you can buy a model in Maitewei that does not lose Prado in terms of off-road and space.

Moreover, looking at the domestic market, there are basically no models with the same positioning at present, and Watts Traveler stands out.

However, if you have seen its interior, I think many people may give up this idea.

The interior of Wazi Hunter basically stayed in the 1960s, and its overall style is even older than that of BAIC 2 12. In terms of materials, Watts hunters can also use iron sheets instead of plastic, and they can use plastic instead of plastic lining materials, which brings simplicity to the extreme. As for what is like three automatic and central control big screen, don't even think about it.

In short, everyone should regard its interior as a classic car of the 1960s.

It is such a model with a pre-sale price of 158800 and a limited edition of 300 units. Where did Watts travelers get the courage? In fact, Ulyanovsk Automobile Factory also understands that this car is destined to be a minority in China, and it is impossible to measure it. Therefore, simply limiting it to 300 sets may be a bit of a gimmick.

At the same time, the deeper reason is that UAZ brand hopes to use Wazi Traveler as a stepping stone to further enter the domestic market. The possibility of building a factory in China is not even ruled out in the future. At present, there are sales companies in China. )

When more and more brands can't bear the pressure of closing or withdrawing from the domestic market, Russian UAZ hopes to squeeze in. It seems that the domestic market still has unlimited potential.

Of course, I also hope that more such brands will enter the domestic market in the future and give our domestic consumers more choices. ...
