Experience Land Rover Aurora. Is this the strength of the "most beautiful SUV"? Express experience 239

It's just a joke to say it's an Indian car. Although Land Rover has changed hands several times in the past decades, it still has proud British ancestry. Even if it is bought by India's Tata Group, you can't smell any curry.

The Land Rover Aurora to be mentioned this time, when the first generation of models went on the market, was definitely a sensation in the world, because it was really beautiful; In addition, the first generation of Aurora also had a very strong influence on China brand SUV. Today, you can still see the design elements of Land Rover Aurora on many autonomous SUV models. Even if it is not the blatant plagiarism of Landwind X7, other models have more or less quoted the design of Land Rover Aurora.

How hot is the first generation Land Rover Aurora? At the peak, you can increase the price by 200 thousand a year! Now, since Land Rover Aurora was made in China, the market where a car is hard to find has gone from bad to worse. The main reason is the most basic thing of a car: quality.

We won't talk much about cars that have been discontinued. On the last day of July 20 19, a new generation of Land Rover Aurora was officially launched. What will be the charm of the new Land Rover Aurora?

With the addition of the latest design language of the Range Rover family, the headlights of the new generation Aurora have become more narrow and sharp, and the inverted trapezoidal honeycomb air intake grille looks very similar to the Range Rover star pulse, so it is also called "small star pulse".

The decorative board surrounded by the front face has many patterns, but it has no practical significance. As an urban SUV, there is no need to emphasize any practicality. This vent and this air knife are just for decoration. Of course, for visual effects, these tricks have indeed brought very good improvement effects.

The side has not changed much, and the iconic suspended roof is still retained, and the details have a more advanced visual effect. This is the design of the hidden door handle, which can reduce the air resistance and create a stronger sense of advanced and technology. The only problem: if you are in the northeast, a winter rain may make you unable to pop out. The star pulse is like this.

Generally speaking, the design of Aurora looks like a lot of patterns, but it won't make me feel complicated. I even think the new Aurora is very simple, because the details of the whole body don't emphasize the three-dimensional sense. You have seen many patterns, but none of them will be very eye-catching. The front, body and rear of this car look like a big plane. It looks solid, low and cold.

Is it not an exaggeration to say that this interior is ahead of its peers?

Although the appearance has changed a lot, the overall idea is not much different from the old one. After all, it was also a sensational design in that year, and it is not too much to keep this idea. Compared with the appearance, the change of the interior is not only greater, but also very surprising. Brand-new interior design, whether it is luxury, technology, texture or fashion, is at the leading level of the same level. It's not that I charged the advertising fee, but that the interior is really beautiful.

There are five screens in the central control: LCD instrument panel, central control panel, air conditioning panel, head-up display and streaming media rearview mirror. If you take it apart, I think these five screens have excellent performance and functionality.

What impressed me the most was the 10.2 inch screen on the central control. The display effect and touch of the screen are excellent, but the reaction speed is a little behind the fingers. However, after adding the following two configurations, I feel that it is not a problem: First, the central control display can adjust the angle. Although it is not the full rotation of BYD, with the angle adjustment, it is enough to meet the needs of more people;

The second is the addition of transparent hood technology. In fact, Land Rover envisioned making the entire front hood "transparent" several years ago. Of course, it's not made of glass, but your blind spot is photographed through the camera under the car and then projected onto your hood, thus forming a transparent visual effect. In the new generation of Aurora, this technology has a practical application: the image of the front of the car is scanned by the camera, and then post-synthesized and put on this central control screen. What's the specific use? This is almost to show you all the blind spots in a car that you can't see at all, which is very convenient for crossing off-road and narrow sections. You can also imagine: if you can see the road conditions under your engine compartment, will you feel more secure?

It seems to be a very legitimate thing to fix the air conditioning panel with the screen. Although everyone knows that it is inconvenient to use, this seemingly tall thing has been liked by consumers and manufacturers. Aurora's air conditioning panel is a little different. Although the overall operation is still on the screen, those things you use more still keep physical knobs and buttons for you, which is comfortable!

As for the workmanship, the picture below shows the C-pillar in the left rear car of the test drive. This rally is very Indian!

Don't expect space, space is very narrow!

People who buy aurora have never bought anything for home or practical use. Manufacturers know consumers better than you do, so if you are still daydreaming about the back space of the new generation of Aurora, you can give it up completely. It doesn't have the space performance of a medium-sized SUV.

When most foreign brands come to China, they put extension first. However, when the new aurora arrived in China, it didn't lengthen, and there was no advantage in the whole back row space. I can even say that Aurora's performance is even worse than many independent compact SUVs that attach great importance to the space.

Including the trunk, I certainly have no problem using it myself, but it is difficult to install more. But in fact, it doesn't matter. As far as I know, consumers who buy Aurora never care about household attributes.

No competitors?

Aurora can be said to be an SUV without competitors. It is not that it is strong enough to ignore its opponents, but that there are not many distinctive personalities in the SUV of the same level and there are no household concerns.

The price of Aurora, tens of thousands of dollars can buy Mercedes-Benz GLC, BMW X3, Audi Q5L and other models. Of course, you can also buy a Volvo XC60 or save tens of thousands of dollars to buy a Cadillac XT5, but you can find that these cars will put practical and household attributes in an important position. Only Aurora is a car designed entirely to satisfy the owner.

There are too few such consumers in China, so although Aurora has been shouting loudly, sales will not be hot after all. Since it is made in China, it is a very good result that the monthly sales can exceed 65,438+0,000 vehicles.

Pay attention to styling, pay attention to the owner's experience, don't care about space, and don't care about household attributes. Such cars often belong to the second car of the rich. Yes, Land Rover Aurora has always been the favorite of middle-class women (rich women only buy Porsche).

Subjective score: 7 (full score 10)

Give it a 7 because of this design. Whether in appearance or interior, the new Land Rover Aurora is much more refined than the old one. It inherited the stunning charm of the original Land Rover Aurora and made changes in line with the current aesthetic trend. The biggest selling point of the new aurora is design.

But when it comes to practicality, you still don't have to think about Land Rover Aurora. Land Rover doesn't care about space, and it doesn't care about works that have been hesitant. So obviously: if you have that little money and want to buy a car, then Land Rover Aurora will not be a good choice; But if you have more money, you should buy an extra car for your wife. Trust me, she will like Aurora very much.
