Land Rover Aurora: Temperament, I am sticking to it.

The most dreamy scene in the middle of last century was that American farmers drove F- 150, Italian farmers drove Lamborghini and British farmers drove Land Rover. They each drove on their own land to check the growth of potatoes and the milk yield of cows. Now no one wants to be a farmer, but F- 150, Lamborghini and Land Rover have become the most dreamy products in the automobile industry.

Land Rover created the ultimate series for British farmers after World War II? I, Land Rover after 2 1 century, gave an evoque to fashionable youth all over the world. The appearance of the first generation Land Rover Aurora broke the stereotype of Land Rover's "hard off-road". Although the appearance of the star pulse later took away its title of "Land Rover's first beautiful car", the release of a new generation of Aurora six months ago seems to have regained the first position of "Yan value".

The British style is vividly displayed on this aurora. The beauty pursued by Aurora lies in the whole, not in some details. People can easily find the eye-catching designs of other excellent models, but few people can tell the beauty of aurora at once. However, the amazing aurora has long been recognized. While retaining the classic elements of the previous model, the replacement model has added many brilliant designs of stars, so its high value is also a "logical" thing.

The tall engine compartment makes the whole front face look very full, and a large number of horizontal lines outline the layering of the front face, which also increases the horizontal visual extension. Even though Aurora is only a medium-sized SUV, it looks like a Land Rover from the front. Indeed, the width of the Aurora reaches 1905mm, which is wider than most competing models on the market, so the Aurora looks very "strong".

The flat headlights are arranged in a slightly ascending way in order to create a sharper impression, which we can also see in Star Pulse. In addition, the headlights have a rich combination of light bands, which is full of three-dimensional sense. The turn signal with flowing function is highly recognizable when it is lit, and the horizontal flowing light is integrated with many horizontal lines, which increases the overall sense of the front face design.

The combination of three small air intake grilles makes the visual center of gravity of the front face more uniform. With the upgrading of Land Rover's manufacturing process, the gap between the car body panels around the new Aurora headlights has been reduced to less than 1mm, and the gap between the whole car panels has been reduced by 42% compared with the original car. If you look closely, you will find more exquisite Aurora.

The test drive we got was a top model, so we integrated a lot of technology configurations. Panoramic image, lane keeping, ACC adaptive cruise, active braking and other related functions are all equipped in this car. The upper part of the front windshield and the lower part of the air intake grille are covered with hardware devices to realize these functions, so whether a car is rich in scientific and technological configuration can also be seen from the appearance.

There are also two large-area diversion grooves on the left and right sides, which leave a deep impression on the whole front face modeling. The sheave can not only provide good heat dissipation conditions for the braking system, but also be more conducive to the construction of aerodynamics. However, the setting of these two diversion grooves obviously has a more important mission-to create a sense of movement.

Coming to the side, the biggest highlight is the hidden door handle design adopted by the new Aurora, which is also the focus of this Aurora replacement. The four hidden door handles all support one-button entry, and also have anti-pinch function, which has a good sense of science and technology in visual effect, which also makes the shape of the new Aurora side more concise and capable. In terms of reliability, Land Rover tested the hidden door handle in extreme cold and high temperature to ensure its stability in extreme environment.

The overall shape of the side continues the classic style of the Range Rover family. The roof part gradually sinks from beginning to end, and the waistline of the car body gradually rises, creating a feeling of being ready to go. The suspended roof is more compact, and the small-sized body is more exquisite under this design concept.

Compared with the previous generation, the shape of the tail has not changed much, and the wide-body shape is still the most important design of the whole tail, giving people a sense of stability and practicality. Taillight modeling and large-area black decorative board run through the whole tail, "range? The painting style of "ROVER”LOGO is more like what most modified cars like.

A large area of black decorative panels and the layout across the left and right create a more low-lying visual effect, but in fact, the appearance of aurora off the ground still has great advantages in the same class. The ground clearance of 2 12mm, the approach angle of 22 and the departure angle of 30.6 are completely obvious for dealing with general unpaved pavement.

When I came to the interior of the vehicle, Aurora created a simple and transparent space full of science and technology, which gave me the feeling that it combined the essence of Lexus and Audi. The layout is simple and elegant, just like the woolen coat in Britain, with good texture, simple design and good style. In addition, through the blessing of large-size screen equipment, the overall sense of science and technology has also been realized.

The center console and door panel are wrapped in a lot of soft leather. Exquisite wiring and exquisite gap connection reflect the extremely high technological level of Aurora interior, creating an excellent sense of luxury. The soft material with granular texture is used in the upper part of the center console, which can avoid the reflection in the car, which also reflects the designer's perfect pursuit of humanization when creating this set of interior.

The most eye-catching part of the whole interior is two 10.2-inch touch screens that occupy most of the center console. The upper part of the screen can automatically adjust the angle, which is responsible for the control of multimedia systems and related vehicles, and the lower part is responsible for the control of air conditioning, seats, driving modes and other related functions. The system logic is clear and easy to use, but the fluency is average. In the overall style, the modeling technology and UI interface design of the two screens are highly compatible with the interior.

The multi-function steering wheel also reflects a good level of technology. The steering wheel with four spokes is wrapped in two kinds of leather with different colors and textures, and the grip feedback is excellent. In addition, the integrated buttons on both sides of the steering wheel are electronic buttons, which adds a lot of color to the sense of technology in the car.

Behind the steering wheel is a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, which is the largest and most important screen in the car with excellent resolution and very powerful functions. Many operations can be realized through the control buttons on both sides of the multi-function steering wheel. This kind of LCD instrument panel can not only display conventional pointer dual instruments, but also realize multimedia display, vehicle information, map navigation and other functions.

In terms of technology configuration, this brand-new Aurora not only has interconnection and mapping functions, but also adds 360 all-terrain perspective technology on the original basis, which can not only see the situation around the vehicle but also monitor the road conditions under the engine compartment in real time, that is, hood perspective technology. This system collects data through the camera and displays the image below the front of the vehicle in real time, which is very helpful for off-road driving.

In addition to the above screen, Aurora is also equipped with an original streaming rearview mirror on the upper part of the car. This streaming rearview mirror has excellent definition, and can get clearer images even at night, thus minimizing accidents during driving, especially for novice drivers. This is a practical and effective configuration.

The Windsor perforated seat we see now is the exclusive configuration of the top model, and the leather feels excellent, but the padding inside the seat is hard, sacrificing some comfort to get better support. In addition, the seat is equipped with three-speed heating and ventilation functions to meet the needs of different drivers and passengers in different situations.

In terms of space, we refer to an experiencer with a height of 180cm. When the experiencer sits in the main driver's seat, the seat is adjusted to the lowest position, the sitting posture is appropriate, and the remaining space in the head is a palm.

Keep the front seat position unchanged, and the same experiencer comes to the back row, leaving a punch in the head space and a punch in the leg space. The high position of the central passage will affect the comfort of the fifth person in the car for a long time.

The biggest change in power of this brand-new Aurora is the addition of a 48V light mixing system, which can automatically shut down the engine when the vehicle speed is lower than17 km/h. The addition of the light mixing system can not only realize automatic start and stop, but also quickly enter the working state, which also has a certain positive effect on the fuel economy of the whole vehicle. The fuel power part is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine. The maximum power output of the whole power system is 249Ps and the maximum torque is 365Nm.

Matching it is a 9-speed automatic manual transmission. In the car, the original knob-type electronic gear handle was cancelled and replaced by an ordinary vertical gear lever in S gear mode. The gearbox has good ride comfort during driving, but this is based on your familiarity with the power output logic of this car. With the addition of the 48V mixed light system, the power output of the new Aurora is still very light and steady, but there will be obvious power explosion after the engine turns to 2500, so the power connection between the front section and the rear section is a bit abrupt, which will also give people the illusion that the initial end of the throttle is lagging behind, but it is not that the initial end of the throttle is lagging behind, but that the latter section is too active.

Generally speaking, if you are used to the power output logic of this car, it is still very easy to drive, and relying on the excellent performance of the power system, the power reserve at high speed is also sufficient, even if you want to swim quickly in the traffic, it is completely no problem.

For me, the damping of the steering wheel is slightly lighter, and the road feedback will not be too obvious. From this, it can be seen that Aurora is an easier-to-control model and is very friendly to female drivers. The ease of driving is also reflected in suspension adjustment. Compared with the previous generation, the chassis comfort of the new Aurora has been greatly improved, and it has a good performance in dealing with vibration and noise. The rear suspension of the new PTA luxury transverse engine platform was upgraded from multi-link to H-arm, and the front and rear suspensions were made of cast aluminum. Lightweight and integration have an important influence on the whole suspension adjustment, which is embodied in the construction of vehicle vibration filtering ability and driving texture. At the same time, it will also bring some negative effects, such as the support of high-speed corners and the ability to restrain vehicle roll. How to choose depends on the personal taste of consumers.

As a vehicle shouldering the mission of "inheriting the highest value of Land Rover", the new Land Rover Aurora is undoubtedly successful, and it has excellent performance in the same level in both appearance and interior, which is also a universally recognized fact. Although in the past few months, due to various subjective and objective reasons, the market performance of New Aurora is not satisfactory, but this does not mean anything. A new generation of aurora still has a long way to go.
