LM smells bad. Test drive Buick Century Four-seat Private Edition.

Easy Car was originally built by Buick GL8, and this name is believed to be familiar to consumers all over China. Before the arrival of the second millennium, Shanghai GM opened the MPV market with GL8 at that time. For more than 20 years, the latecomers in this market can only follow the footsteps of GL8. But do you think SAIC-GM-Buick is satisfied with this? No, now facing the impact of more competitors, SAIC-GM has decided to enter the high-end MPV market, and Buick Century is their answer.

I believe everyone should still have some memories of the real shooting experience last month. In order to meet the needs of different consumers, SAIC-GM Buick has prepared two models for the century: the four-seat version and the Yi Shi version. There are two configurations, the guide price of two cars is 80 thousand yuan, and the main configuration difference is the 32-inch car TV in the back row. Today's test drive is naturally the four-seat exclusive version with the highest configuration. SAIC-GM-Buick wants us to experience the feeling of being a boss. It's a pity that I don't have the temperament to be a boss. My colleague's video is about "a day as a boss". Let me talk about the feeling of being a driver first.

● Let's talk about the driving experience first.

Many models of SAIC-GM adopt this power combination, but Buick Century should be the most heavily equipped model, so it is normal to have the question "Is this power enough?". First of all, this is definitely enough. Think about Lexus LM and Toyota Erffa next door, both of which need to increase their prices, but both of them have the blessing of electric motors, which will undoubtedly have a lower speed performance than their internal combustion engines. Buick Century, by setting a less sensitive throttle, is like "luring" you to step on the throttle a little more, in exchange for the overall acceleration performance by increasing the speed.

The power output of the engine is very linear, and there will be no sudden intervention of the turbine. After the speed comes up, as a qualified driver, you need to keep a steady speed, and you can't accelerate or decelerate sharply. Of course, this does not mean that the power reserve of the 2.0T engine is insufficient. During this test drive, I turned from the ramp to the main highway and accelerated to 120km/h, and the whole speed-up process was easy and smooth. I believe the boss sitting in the back seat will be satisfied with my driving.

Compared with the setting of linear accelerator pedal, Buick Century's brakes need more adaptation from drivers and friends, or it may just be that I feel that the braking force is a little soft and need to step on more brakes to get my expected braking force. If this is a personal problem, let's ignore it. After all, some friends will like this brake setting. Moreover, perhaps it is intentional to avoid the braking force from affecting the ride comfort?

Since it is an MPV with "back seat priority", Buick Century has no other driving modes to switch, only one default mode, which is called "comfort mode". As mentioned earlier, the difference between the Four Private Edition and the Yi Shi Edition is the 32-inch rear screen. When the screen rises, you can separate the front and rear rows and make the back row a private space. However, for drivers in the front row, there are also some problems. For example, when turning, observe the situation of non-motor vehicles on the rear side. Looking back, I can only see a "wall", which makes me a little flustered. Fortunately, SAIC-GM-Buick took this into account.

In terms of driver assistance, L2-level driver assistance is standard for new cars, and Buick Century is no exception. ECruise Pro advanced intelligent driving assistance system is standard for the whole department, including 65,438+07 advanced intelligent driving assistance functions such as ILC instruction lane change assistance (full scene), APA automatic parking assistance system, SRP remote parking assistance, etc. NOP intelligent navigation based on navigation route automatic lane change assistance and on-off ramp assistance will be upgraded through OTA.

It's finally my turn to experience what it's like to be a boss. This cloud seat with 18 partition adjustment is really comfortable, and there is nothing to say about the space. My height is 186cm, and my feet are still a little far from the TV wall after lying flat. In order to further improve the comfort, SAIC-GM-Buick designed the rear five-link independent suspension for the century, and the smaller trailing arm angle can reduce the transmission of road bumps.

This feeling is particularly obvious when crossing the speed bump. The suspension compresses and rebounds quickly, and the body will only shake slightly. After the speed bump, there will be no extra shaking to give you the feeling of taking a boat. I think the performance of Buick Century's chassis and suspension can match its guide price of around 600,000. Of course, from the consumer's point of view, I definitely hope it will be cheaper. Coupled with the omni-directional noise reduction technology, the impact brought by the speed bump will only have a slight "thump, thump" sound except for two jolts in the carriage.

Maybe Buick Century controls the wind noise too well, but the noise emitted by tires is somewhat obvious. When I was lying flat in the back row, my head was just above the rear wheel and I could feel some noise coming from the rear wheel. If I were a boss who wanted to rest in the back row, I wouldn't be too happy to hear this voice. Of course, this does not rule out that it rained on the day of the test drive, and I have the opportunity to experience it again in the future (it seems that the boss has not enjoyed it yet).

Let's review the static content again.

Ok, let's share so much about the test drive with you. Let's briefly review the static content of Buick Century Four Private Edition. As the new flagship MPV of SAIC-GM Buick, Buick Century is built based on the new large-scale luxury MPV architecture, and its appearance continues the pure design concept of Buick MPV flagship concept car, aiming at simplifying the design, while some exclusive elements of Buick brand are not absent. In addition, as a new car under the Buick brand, Buick Century naturally adopted a brand-new three-color shield logo.

The interior of Buick Century is still a traditional MPV interior style, which ensures sufficient front row space. There are some shadows of GL8 in the design, and the interior is completely "touched" with the current trend. Air conditioning control and steering wheel multifunction buttons are touch buttons. Of course, the most eye-catching thing on the dashboard of the century is the 30-inch integrated curved screen with a resolution of 6 K, which is also the core of the VCS intelligent cockpit.
