Exploring the secrets of Medog—Datong D90’s first trip to Sichuan and Tibet

Goethe said, "The reason why people love to travel is not to reach the destination, but to enjoy the various joys during the journey." This is also the purpose of my departure, to feel the scenery and happiness along the way. Just like that, I set off with our SAIC Maxus D90.

Medog County is a county under the jurisdiction of Linzhi City in the Tibet Autonomous Region. It borders India. It is the last county in China before the Brahmaputra River enters the Assam Plain in India. It has the most abundant rainfall and the best ecological preservation. place.

As a member of the Sichuan-Tibet Veterans Club, I took advantage of the test drive meeting to get the opportunity to drive a Maxus D90 through Medog, Sichuan-Tibet, and also gave myself a chance to appreciate the wonderland on earth. This trip will pass through a vast area, complex terrain, and high-altitude and mountainous areas, which will be a new and real test for the D90.

After a month of preparation, on September 23, 2017, on the occasion of the National Day of Integrity, Chengdu Jianguo and SAIC Maxus joined hands The Chengdu Sichuan-Tibet Veterans Club officially launched the Maxus D90 journey through Sichuan and Tibet and Medog. For this trip, we chose the D90 all-terrain automatic four-wheel drive Polaris; before departure, we checked the vehicle, filled up the tank, and then officially set off. When traveling I believe safety and comfort are the most important.

After a few days of driving, I have more feelings about the driving of the D90; the D90 is very comfortable, without the physical fatigue of continuous driving, and the control is easy; this is why our trip was smooth and smooth. smooth. The power output in plateau areas is no different from usual, and the uphill power is strong and powerful; cornering is smooth. Let us feel the joy of travel instead of the bumps. This is the most valuable thing for us.

In terms of fuel consumption, the D90 seats 5 people, and the rear exhaust is filled with things. The computer shows an average fuel consumption of 11.8 when the air conditioner is turned on the whole time. ?With good preparation, all that’s left is to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Matching all the scenery with a beautiful mood, this trip is destined to leave the best memories.

As the altitude soared, the mobile phone signal was intermittent. Some team members got out of the car excitedly when passing the charming scenery. They took pictures and even ran, but they forgot that the plateau no longer allowed them to move in such a large way, especially those who lacked exercise. One by one, they covered their chests and said that their hearts were about to jump out. Someone in the convoy asked them to take a deep breath. It took a while to get over it, but the scenery of Daocheng Yading was worth our excitement. We experience and feel during the trip. We forget ourselves and the discomfort just now in the dreamlike scenery.

We walked and stopped along the way, and the scenery along the way dragged us forward. During the trip, the mobile phone Bluetooth was connected to the car stereo. The beautiful scenery outside the window kept changing, and the people and luggage were beating to the music all the time. , the difficulties and obstacles seemed to have changed ten miles away. At noon, we arrived in Litang. After a simple supply of supplies, we continued on the road, our mood dancing with the speed.

As for altitude sickness, it appears at an altitude of 3,500 on D90. This makes us mentally prepared. There will be fatigue when exiting corners and overtaking in automatic mode, and there is no feedback from the vehicle when the accelerator is pressed deeply. At this time, switch to sport mode! Turn the mode knob lightly, and the D90 immediately transforms into a car. The turbo is on standby at any time. You can tap the accelerator lightly to exit corners and overtake with confidence. Occasionally, after passing through some mountainous terrain, the driving experience is instantly refreshing. We prefer driving on such roads to asphalt roads. The perfect combination of passion and speed, the wonderful experience makes this trip even more unforgettable.

In the evening, we arrived in Mangkang. After a day's journey, everyone was already hungry. We arrived at the hotel we had booked in advance and had a delicious dinner. We talked about what we had seen during the day. From what I heard and felt, we were like brothers and sisters, caring about each other and talking about the future. I believe this will be the happiest thing on the trip; after dinner, wash up and rest early. Because at dawn the next day, everyone has to set off again, and the goal tomorrow is Basu.

At this point, we have completed half of the trip. Thanks to Maxus D90 for providing us with a comfortable and safe trip, which made our trip full of relaxation and joy without feeling tired.

Every trip is a new beginning. The feeling of the heart on the road is to leave everything behind and try to enjoy the happiness that nature brings us. We look forward to having more relatives and friends join us, and we will bring our youth and dreams to distant places, singing and singing loudly all the way.

Let us follow the SAIC Maxus D90 and travel through the mountains and rivers of the motherland, let the journey verify the quality, and let the quality help Maxus move towards a more glorious tomorrow.
