Do you know anything about JEEP herdsman?

today, with more emphasis on low carbon and environmental protection, reducing emissions is undoubtedly the best choice. For an imported model, the significance of reducing displacement is far more than that. In the face of the high consumption tax on imported cars in the domestic market, the more practical significance of reducing emissions is to reduce the entry threshold for consumers. The model we are going to introduce today is one of them. This is the Jeep herdsman 3.L model.

in today's test article, we will make a detailed interpretation of this Jeep herdsman 3.L vehicle with changed power system from three aspects: driving experience, off-road ability and actual test performance.

vehicle overview: the exterior and interior are unchanged/the /3.L engine is the highlight

When it comes to individual vehicles in the market, I believe no one dares to ignore the existence of Jeep herdsman, and its personality comes from the word "classic". After more than half a century's rapid development in the industrial society, looking back, few classics can remain unchanged from beginning to end, which is also the reason why herdsman's charm is enduring for a long time.

there is no difference in appearance and interior between this four-door Jeep herdsman 3.L model and the 3.6L model. On the whole, their difference is only the engine.

Different from other German brands' rich supercharged engine product lines, Jeep, which represents the spirit that American models have always pursued a large-displacement naturally aspirated engine, has to go through more twists and turns to reduce the displacement. How to ensure that the power reduction caused by reducing the displacement becomes the biggest issue without the help of supercharger.

however, from the book data of the brand-new 3.L Pentastar V6 engine mounted on this Jeep herdsman, we have no reason to doubt that Americans are the best in naturally aspirated engine tuning. Although the displacement is only 3.L, this engine can still produce the maximum power of 234kW and the maximum torque of 285Nm in generate, which minimizes the power weakening caused by "small displacement". Matching it is still a 5-speed automatic manual transmission.

at the beginning of the test drive, I didn't expect much from this herdsman with reduced displacement, but it still gave me a big surprise when I collapsed the accelerator pedal. At low speed, the powerful torque output will give people a lot of illusion in the initial stage of acceleration. I even wonder if this is the feeling brought by a 3.L engine. All this comes from the fact that the engine can provide 9% of the maximum torque in the range of 2-64 rpm and the lower head speed ratio setting of the gearbox.

after the initial explosive force, the difference between this 3.L engine and the 3.6L engine gradually appears. If you don't step on the accelerator pedal deeply, the output performance of the engine will start to be a little difficult, and the power output will become weaker and weaker.

for this 5-speed automatic manual transmission, it seems a little different in today's era of shifting gears. However, considering its special pure off-road positioning, after all, the fifth gear can bring a larger gear ratio drop, and fewer gears can also ensure the continuous power output on off-road roads.

However, the performance of this transmission on the daily road is quite satisfactory. Although the shifting process is not very smooth, it can be ignored if it is not so serious. The shift logic is relatively clear, and the speed in daily driving is kept around 2 rpm, and the upshift action is carried out around 25 rpm, but the premise of all this is that the accelerator pedal strength remains unchanged. If you step on the accelerator pedal deeply, the speed of the gearbox will be controlled at about 4 rpm after downshifting, but the shift process is somewhat awkward.

the acceleration process in the middle and later stages is a little difficult, but after the slow climbing of power, the herdsman 3.L model will be "leisurely" and everything will be calm again. Combining the power performance of this engine with the matching of transmission, this herdsman with a 3.L engine can still meet the power demand of urban roads. However, for the dynamic performance of the middle and late stage, its acceleration process in the middle and late stage is still a little difficult.

unlike the trend that most vehicles (or SUV models) pay more attention to various characteristics nowadays, for herdsman, he did not hesitate to choose the latter between road performance and off-road performance, but insisted on tradition to form his most distinctive personality.

Obviously, herdsman has never been strong in handling, and the feedback from the steering wheel is a little heavy, which makes it not a very pleasant thing to handle, but fortunately, the directivity is still accurate and the empty position is not obvious.

Comfort will not be herdsman's advantage either. Adhering to the traditional non-loaded body structure, every passenger sitting in the car can feel the up-and-down movement of each wheel with his eyes closed, and the solid suspension system still gives people a tough feeling. Because most of the body is detachable, when the speed is above 1km/h, it still has some influence on the communication inside the car.

Although it is not a comfortable city trip, we all know in our hearts that this is not the position of this herdsman 3.L model, and it is his best destination only when facing more complicated road conditions. However, will the reduction of displacement weaken the off-road ability of this classic in the hearts of off-road enthusiasts? So, we took him to a cross-country venue to test the cross-country capability of this herdsman 3.L model.

On the gravel road, this herdsman 3.L model is like water to fish. All the configuration of comfort in highway driving will become a burden in the complicated unpaved pavement, and in the face of these, only the most primitive and durable structure will become the most effective weapon. The low-speed power output of this 3.L engine can just meet its demand when the road condition is impossible to drive at high speed.

After the previous road test drive, herdsman, which is designed with non-load-bearing body, will have some comfort on urban roads, but as far as the overall body structure is concerned, it has greatly improved its passing performance. The approach angle, the passing angle and the departure angle are 38 degrees, 18 degrees and 31 degrees respectively, and the ground clearance of 22mm makes it possible to carry forward the passability on short and complicated roads.

for herdsman, which has always been famous for its off-road capability, its powerful Command-Trac part-time 4wd system has a mechanical transfer case and a lockable central differential. The low-speed four-wheel drive (4L) mode can amplify the engine torque by 2.72 times when the vehicle climbs, greatly improving the traction and the ability to cross obstacles.

generally speaking, the performance of this entry-level Jeep herdsman 3.L model in off-road field is still unmatched by other models, and the change of displacement has little effect on off-road performance when driving at low speed for a long time.

in the actual -1km/h acceleration test, the performance of this herdsman 3.L model in the initial stage is not inferior. The strong torque output in the initial stage will make it look up, and there will be no wheel slip. During the acceleration process, you can feel that the speed climbing ability of this 3.L engine is somewhat reduced after the middle section.

The acceleration of -1km/h in 11.5 seconds is still acceptable for a vehicle with a curb weight of more than 2 tons. After all, herdsman is not a vehicle based on road driving performance.

1-km/h braking test

In the actual braking test of 1-km/h, due to the long suspension stroke of this herdsman 3.L model, the body leans forward obviously when it is fully braked. Judging from the braking performance of 44.7 meters, the overall performance of this herdsman 3.L model has been in the normal range.

Summary

However, the reduction of consumption tax on the overall selling price and the displacement of imported cars is real. If his core strength is not reduced, but the entry threshold of about tens of thousands of yuan is reduced, then this is undoubtedly good news for entry-level cross-country players.
