Talk about the feeling of falling in love with cross-country

My friend recently brought a new herder Sahara. Recently, he is on a business trip. It happened that I always wanted to know more about the latest JL, so I borrowed it from my friend and took care of his horse. ? The first feeling of driving in the city is that it is much better than the old one! Whether it is the steering force of the steering wheel or the throttle response, it feels like an "urban SUV" and the suspension is not so hard. Although the power output of 2.0T engine is linear, the overall acceleration is more explosive than JK. Of course, its comfort is not completely comparable to that of a pure urban SUV, but at least if I am allowed to drive this generation of JL for a long time on a long trip, it will not arouse my disgust.

Although it is a new generation model, you can't tell the difference without looking carefully. The important elements of traditional Jeep are round lights, 7-hole front grille and hard core appearance. There are only some changes in the wheel arch and the front bumper.

This one bought by a friend is a four-door version of Sahara, and Rubicon is the top cross-country artifact among shepherds. Many people don't know the specific difference between the two versions. The difference between the new JL and the new JL lies in the tires. The original Sahara is equipped with road tires, and Rubicon directly comes standard with MT mud tires. In addition, the most important thing is the difference between the four-wheel drive systems of the two cars. ? Rubicon's four-wheel drive system is called Rock-Trac mechanical part-time 4wd system, and Sahara's four-wheel drive system is called Command? Trac part-time 4wd system. There are three locks on the chassis of Rock-Trac: front, middle and rear. What about the command of the Sahara? Trac has only one differential lock.

In addition, Sahara's low-speed four-wheel drive can only achieve 2.72 times torque amplification, while Rubicon can achieve up to 4 times torque amplification. Therefore, Rubicon is more suitable for extreme cross-country, such as climbing big stones, and its comprehensive ability to get rid of difficulties is still stronger. However, if you only occasionally cross-country moderately and lightly, you won't often participate in working conditions that require a lot of relief. In fact, the Sahara is a more economical choice. Rubicon is more suitable for fanatical extreme cross-country enthusiasts.

You can see badges like this on many Jeep models. Jeep has established an off-road rating system within its own car series, and can get Trail? The rated logo represents the strongest off-road performance of this car. Other cars such as Grand Cherokee, Freedom Light and Freedom Man only have Trail? Hawk high-performance models only have Trail? Rated logo, they also represent that the off-road ability can reach the leading level at the same level. ? Traces? The rated evaluation criteria mainly assess five items, including traction, tracking, passability, maneuverability and wading ability.

The interior is still the original hard-core style. If you are used to driving a city SUV, you will find the center console in herdsman very thin. The depth of the whole table is very short, and there is basically nothing on the center console.

Due to design reasons, herdsmen's eyesight is very poor. The area of the front stall is very small, and the whole glass is very narrow. If you put a mobile phone holder on the windshield, your vision will be worse.

Although the technology has been developing, many cars use the mode of big screen+touch to operate the car system, but I still like this original mechanical button.

Steering wheel heating, seat heating, practical configuration is quite rich.

Because of the height of the car, this handle is very necessary for athletes at low altitude, and of course it is also the embodiment of hard elements.

The front seats are comfortable, but even the top seats are still manually adjusted.

Adjust the backrest with this drawstring. This is a car of more than 400,000 yuan. If you can't get off-road capability, you have to give up some configurations.

The transfer box can be switched between two-wheel drive, automatic four-wheel drive, high-speed four-wheel drive and the most powerful low-speed four-wheel drive.

The little element on the shift lever pays tribute to the old-timer Willis.

The lower corner of the windshield has the same small element.

Mercedes-Benz G also has the same armrest, which is a symbol of off-road weapon. But I think it's really not just a cross-country element. In fact, the car will sway from side to side when it is off-road. I think this handrail is quite practical.

This generation of JL has changed the 2.0T engine, which many people say is impure. Although the output of the self-priming engine is definitely smoother, the weakness on the road is indeed a problem, and the self-priming engine is bound to become more and more limited in the future with stricter emissions. This time, it can be seen that Jeep has also begun to rethink the proportion of scenes actually used by users. I believe that these adjustments must be finally made through a large number of old users' usage scenario data. ? And the comprehensive fuel consumption has been able to run to around 10. If it is an old herder, the fuel consumption should be at least 12.

Although I haven't tried it myself, sitting in the back seat like this will definitely be uncomfortable. The "thin" seat backrest and upright backrest angle are not friendly to the rear passengers, and it will be more painful if you catch up with long-distance travel.

There are enough charging interfaces in the back row, two USB, two Type-C, and one three-terminal 230V. You can charge whatever you want.

Detachable ceiling, which is very convenient to disassemble and assemble. Several lock hooks can be removed directly, and when they are removed, they will directly become a convertible.

Finally, to sum up this Sahara, if you love outdoor cross-country and take it out once a month, it will definitely make you enjoy being close to nature. However, if you are an extreme cross-country enthusiast and have enough budget, you'd better go directly to Rubicon. Four times the torque amplification and disconnecting the anti-roll bar will get a longer suspension stroke. If you change it later, it will be more than the price difference of the model. But if you go out once every six months, you'd better buy a city SUV in a down-to-earth way and rent a car directly if you want to go out occasionally. After all, the urban expressway is the scene you use the most. It's like falling in love with a wild horse, but there is no grassland at home. If you just run in the city every day, I believe it won't be happy.
