2022. RS4 Experience the journey of exquisite camping? Exciting, ups and downs, mixed flavors

, this is not just for you and me. According to the "2021 Mid-Autumn Festival Holiday Travel Data Report" released by Ctrip, orders for camping products increased by 50% year-on-year during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Given what the people want, surely it would be fun to open a crock pot, play reggae, and cook a cup of American food in the beautiful scenery of the snow? This is how the impromptu camping trip with "fake sophistication" began.

In Beijing in January, the dry northern climate mixed with the cold winter wind is not friendly to travelers, but the surprise is often that planning and changes are combined into one without being inconsistent, and camping has been planned The date coincided with the all-night heavy snowfall that hadn’t happened in a long time, giving us a romantic atmosphere for our first taste of “camping experiment”.

Destination Fangshan Jiudaohe Lower Road Point - During preparation time, I asked a classmate who often danced outdoors (they were active in a mysterious outdoor organization) and recommended the Eight Scenic Spots of Baoshan in Huairou. However, due to the epidemic, The reason is to choose Fangshan, which is closer and less crowded.

The 76-kilometer journey from Daxing Xihongmen covers three comprehensive road conditions: paved roads, expressways, and mountain roads, which allows me to better travel To experience the charm of Audi RS and live up to the popular B9 RS4 Avant, drive west along National Highway 108 until you reach Jingkun Road, which is where you officially enter the mountain road.

Violence is also aesthetic. A journey of less than 45 kilometers on city roads is fleeting for an RS4 with a maximum power output of 331kw and a maximum output torque of 600Nm.

The RS4 has changed to an 8-speed Dynamic gearbox. There is no lag when the accelerator is pressed deeply, and the logic is clear. It subverts all the criticisms of the old 7-speed model. If the quality reputation is worthy of attention as the time on the market lasts, then It’s truly a masterpiece.

As we drove into Jingkun Road, I thought that the icy mountain roads after heavy snow would bring some fun to the two core Audi technologies of Audi Quattro and ASR drive anti-skid, but the temperature outside the car never changed from that in the urban area. It further reduced to the point where dripping water turned into ice. As a result, the ice was so thin that even the ESP warning light on the instrument never came on.

Parking record, shocked by the natural scenery on the road

But mountain roads can ultimately bring excitement and happiness to drivers who drive a performance car.

This Audi RS4 provides three fixed driving modes 1, comfort mode 2, automatic mode 3, and sports mode. There are also two individually adjustable modes RS1 and RS2. All of the above modes can be controlled through the car. Press the machine and Drive select keys to switch operations. The unique RS1 and RS2 can be switched directly through the steering wheel, and the switching means the Audi virtual cockpit, which shows that the instrument UI presents a new sports interface.

In the five driving modes, the sense of sportiness increases step by step from hardware to software, until RS2 is equivalent to entering track mode, with sensitive throttle response, fully-strength shock absorbers, and fully open valve exhaust The combination of the noisy sound and the mechanical-feeling steering makes it difficult for the driver not to accelerate hormonally.

Mountain Rhapsody, a monster in a suit in RS2 mode.

After driving, you will find that it is completely different from the A4 avant. The RS4 is like a civilian rally car, short and flexible. I think it is due to the Torsen differential lock and mechanical quattro combined with the rear section to distribute torque between the front and rear wheels. At the same time, the extra trunk affects the weight of the rear when cornering. Finding the feeling of sliding will give the driver a sense of confrontation during intense driving, which is where the fun lies.

Along the Jingkun Road next to the Dashi River, there will be a descent point, about 30 kilometers away. There is a thin layer of gravel hidden under the white snow slope. I sincerely sigh that there are four Really good drive. Only our car left ruts on the entire several hundred meters of road. The cold and wet conditions must have affected travel.

Arriving at the destination as scheduled, it is rare to find such a unique place to enjoy the scenery in the suburbs of Beijing, including snow fields, streams, and mountains and forests.

Travel is so magical. You may not know anything about "exquisite camping" and may even be a little impulsive, but this scenery, as the person in the painting, guides you to leave everything behind and let go. .

Construction officially begins, and the significance of the station wagon is also demonstrated here, carrying the lives of two people or even a family. The 505L trunk volume is more than enough to carry outdoor sundries for two people, and the loading capacity after unfolding as a wagon model is self-evident.

The so-called exquisite camping is just a staged photoshoot of reality. At the same time, the trunk is equipped with a 12V power supply. I wanted to use it to make coffee, but unfortunately I didn’t bring the adapter, and even the coffee machine became a burden this time.

“Exquisite camping” is tiring! Following the principle that things must be reversed at the extremes, since hot coffee is not good, the iced coffee placed in mountain spring water is also excellent. It cannot be exquisite without being surprising.

As the saying goes, as chic as you are, you will be embarrassed. Exquisiteness is the design, and sloppyness will return to the right track. For me, who is new to outdoor safety knowledge, being able to drink canned coffee is already a success, so I will avoid talking about picnics for now. The self-heating pot can save lives even in sub-zero temperatures!

Summarizing this experience, I realized that it is not easy to experience exquisite camping in an "immersive" way. Professional equipment and skills are indispensable. It is not a mass entertainment project. Just having a picnic is already very cumbersome. things. If you are really camping, one is the seasonal influence, cold winter and mosquito repellent in summer; second, washing problem and inconvenient toilet; third, three meals a day, cooking and garbage are a lot of work. If you are camping The word "exquisite" may cost a lot of money.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature outside the car had reached minus 7 degrees, and my feet were frozen and ready to retreat. The RS4, which has gone through a long battle on mountain roads, has put on a muddy battle suit, but it still cannot cover up the unique black appearance details of the black version, which contrasts with the white snow scene. The exaggerated 20-inch wheels at the bottom are paired with 30-aspect ratio Continental tire compartments under the slightly wide fenders, always reminding us before setting off that this is not an ordinary A4.

A landmark on the way back. It always leaves a deep impression on people, revealing the conflict between performance and daily life mentioned at the beginning. The DRC suspension equipped on the RS4 provides good stability in various comprehensive road conditions through roll compensation, and at the same time, the soft and hard changes take into account comfort. And performance; steering damping and gearbox response also have multiple changes in sports and comfort modes; there are also wagon model space, valve exhaust, seat massage, etc...

Based on the above And for M prow and AMG, it has absolutely no problem in carrying daily outing life, and is even better than its opponents. But there are two pains in daily transportation. First, the 58L fuel tank capacity is superimposed on this 2.9T heart. If you control your right foot every day, maybe the gas station visits are only moderately frequent. If it is more violent, it will be another story; , although the high-pitched exhaust is exciting, the valve cannot completely silence a box-type station wagon, and it takes a long time to change your mood to calm down.

If you don’t agree with what I said, as a car owner, you are used to it and can accept it, then the B9 RS4 AVant can definitely be called a dream car for men who take care of daily life, life and performance.
