Q&A: Big G, how lonely it is to be invincible

Q: Hello, I am a Citroen car owner. The 4S store where I bought the car closed and replaced it with another brand. What to do about future maintenance? Waiting online! !

A: Generally, in this case, the new brand will continue to guarantee the after-sales service of the original brand. Old users will not be abandoned. You can first ask the after-sales service of the new brand, or ask the after-sales consultant who contacted you before the store was closed. Routine maintenance does not necessarily require going to a 4S shop, as long as it is a regular repair shop, it can be done.

Q: Why are the fuel tanks of today’s fuel vehicles getting smaller and smaller?

A: First of all, you don’t have to worry about “mileage” for fuel vehicles. Refueling is convenient and fast. Therefore, a small fuel tank will not only help reduce the weight of the vehicle, but also prevent you from worrying about "running out of gas". Second, how to make more space inside the car when the overall external dimensions of the car have not changed much? Sacrificing a little fuel tank capacity is the most reasonable solution. Third, the current engine displacement is smaller, the engine technology is more mature, and the fuel consumption performance is getting lower and lower. Therefore, small fuel tanks are the current trend for fuel vehicles.

Q: Will the power of Buick LaCrosse 1.5T be very weak?

A: The feeling of power varies from person to person. After all, some people find the ES200 in 0 to 13 seconds acceptable, right? I personally feel that the 1.5T is really a bit unable to carry a 5-meter large car like the LaCrosse. Therefore, if you are planning to buy a LaCrosse, it is recommended to directly consider the 2.0T model. The price difference between the 1.5T luxury model and the 2.0T luxury model is less than 20,000 yuan after the discount, but you can get a better driving experience, so it is still worth spending a little more!

Q: Hello, teachers! My parents are about to retire. They have worked hard all their lives and want to travel across the country by car while their bodies are still strong. I need to buy a car. I often drive a domestic brand pickup truck at work. It is sturdy and durable. The price is tens of thousands, and it feels more stable and reliable than ordinary SUVs. It is very suitable for self-driving tours. I would like to ask the experts for their opinions.

A: Domestic pickup trucks are indeed as you said, strong, reliable and durable. It is precisely because of these advantages that domestic pickup trucks are very popular in some Middle Eastern and African countries. They have a standard 5-seat cabin and a long cargo bed with excellent loading capacity. These are all the advantages of pickup trucks. Now let’s talk about the shortcomings: security is a mystery. At present, no pickup truck in my mind has passed the C-NCAP or C-IASI safety crash test. Self-driving tours are mostly on highways, so I don’t recommend self-driving in a pickup truck. Let me tell you, at a price of hundreds of thousands, there are very safe products such as Ford Edge and Lynk & Co 01. The space and practicality are enough for two people!

Q: Among high-end SUVs, why is only the Big G the most popular?

A: First of all, brand advantage. Among high-end brands, the first thing people think of is Mercedes-Benz; secondly, it has excellent performance. The Big G not only has straight-line acceleration performance comparable to that of a sports car, but also has three differential locks in the front, middle and rear, making its off-road capabilities almost unbeatable. In addition, Big G’s unique product tonality adds a lot of points to it. It is a luxury brand, but it is a hard-core off-road vehicle. Looking at BMW, Audi and even higher-end Bentley and Rolls-Royce in the same class, you can't find a product similar to the Big G. Everyone builds road-going SUVs based on luxury cars. The Big G is luxurious, fast on the road, and can go off-road. If it doesn't become popular, who will?
